Psychosis and Spirituality: Consolidating the New Paradigm, 2nd Edition

Psychosis and Spirituality

The Second Edition of Psychosis and Spirituality – now ‘Consolidating the New Paradigm’ – is essentially a new book.

With 5 chapters by new authors (including David Lukoff and Les Lancaster) and 6 of the chapters by continuing authors completely rewritten, this new edition brings the area right up to date and covers the explosion of new research, qualitative as well as quantitative, and exciting clinical developments.

‘Spirituality is the key strand that unites the great variety of cultural understandings of psychosis with recovery. This text contains contributions from leading authorities in the field; it points towards a more complete human approach to psychosis, and challenges long-held assumptions about the nature of human experience. It should be read by all mental health practitioners and students, and will be of interest to academics in theology, anthropology and philosophy, as well as service users and carers.’
– Professor Philip Thomas, University of Bradford, UK


Madness, Mystery and the Survival of God

Madness, Mystery and the Survival of God

  • Why do people still believe in God and the supernatural in a scientific age?
  • How come madness and mysticism are so similar?
  • What can we learn from this?
  • Psychological science offers an intriguing new perspective on these questions: one that relates the great challenges that face us, whether of ecology or fanaticism, to our basic limits as human beings.
  • It is a perspective that places human beings in the context of relationship with a larger and ever mysterious whole.

Working with Clients, Staff and the Milieu
Edited by Isabel Clarke, Hannah Wilson

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Acute Inpatient

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Acute Inpatient Mental Health Units presents innovative ways of delivering CBT within the inpatient setting and applying CBT principles to inform and enhance inpatient care.

Maintaining staff morale and creating a culture of therapy in the acute inpatient unit is essential for a well-functioning institution. This book shows how this challenge can be addressed, along with introducing and evaluating an important advance in the practice of individual CBT for working with crisis, suited to inpatient work and crisis teams.

The book covers a brief cross-diagnosis adaptation of CBT, employing arousal management and mindfulness, developed and evaluated by the editors. It features ways of supporting and developing the therapeutic role of inpatient staff through consultation and reflective practice.
