Approach to Play Therapy. Dennis McCarthy, $34.95

In
the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction.
Gabor Maté, $22.00 
For over seven years Gabor Maté
has been the staff physician at the Portland Hotel, a residence
and harm reduction facility in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. His
patients are challenged by life-threatening drug addictions, mental
illness, Hepatitis C or HIV and, in many cases, all four.
While Dr. Maté’s patients are
at the far end of the spectrum, there are many others among us who
are also struggling with addictions. Drugs, alcohol, tobacco, work,
food, sex, gambling and excessive inappropriate spending: what is
amiss with our lives that we seek such self-destructive ways to
comfort ourselves? And why is it so difficult to stop these habits,
even as they threaten our health, jeopardize our relationships and
corrode our lives?
Beginning with a dramatically close view
of his drug addicted patients, Dr. Maté looks at his own
history of compulsive behaviour. He weaves the stories of real people
who have struggled with addiction with the latest research on addiction
and the brain. Providing a bold synthesis of clinical experience,
insight and cutting edge scientific findings, Dr. Maté sheds
light on this most puzzling of human frailties. He proposes a compassionate
approach to helping drug addicts and, for the many behaviour addicts
among us, to addressing the void addiction is meant to fill. |

The Neuroscience of Psychotherapy, Second Edition: Healing the Social Brain. Louis Cozolino, $56.00
Theoretical advances in brain imaging have revealed that the brain is an organ continually built and re-built by one's experience. We are now beginning to learn that many forms of psychotherapy, developed in the absence of any scientific understanding of the brain, are supported by recent neuroscientific findings. In fact, it could be argued that to be an effective psychotherapist these days it is essential to have some basic understanding of neuroscience. Louis Cozolino's The Neuroscience of Psychotherapy, Second Edition is the perfect place to start.
Written for psychotherapists and others interested in the relationship between brain and behavior, this book encourages us to consider the brain when attempting to understand human development, mental illness, and psychological health. Fully and thoroughly updated with the many neuroscientific developments that have happened in the eight years since the publication of the first edition, this revision to the bestselling book belongs on the shelf of all practitioners. |

Pocket Guide to Interpersonal Neurobiology:
an Integrative Handbook of the Mind. Daniel Siegel,
$31.50
Many fields have explored the nature of
mental life from psychology to psychiatry, literature to linguistics. Yet no
common "framework" where each of these important perspectives can be
honored and integrated with one another has been created. Our mental lives are
profoundly relational. The interactions we have with one another shape our
mental world. Yet as any neuroscientist will tell you, the mind is shaped by
the firing patterns in the brain. How can we reconcile this tension — that the
mind is both embodied and relational? Interpersonal Neurobiology is a way of
thinking across this apparent conceptual divide.
This POCKET GUIDE TO INTERPERSONAL
NEUROBIOLOGY is designed to aid in your personal and professional
application of the interpersonal neurobiology approach to developing a healthy
mind, an integrated brain, and empathic relationships. It is also designed to
assist you in seeing the intricate foundations of interpersonal neurobiology as
you explore relatedresources. |

the needed care.

translate this research into everyday practice. |
