¿Realmente se beneficia la gente de una sesión y, si es así, cómo? La terapia de una sola sesión se define como un encuentro cara a cara entre un terapeuta y un paciente sin sesiones previas o posteriores en un largo periodo de tiempo. Cada sesión se aborda como un evento singular, basado en la creencia de que algo bueno puede venir de una sesión y de que esa sesión puede ser la última. El supuesto fundamental de todas las formas de terapia breve es que los clientes tienen la capacidad de alterar sus pensamientos, emociones y conductas para producir cambios significativos y beneficiosos. El campo de la terapia de una sola sesión (SST) se está expandiendo rápidamente, ya que cada vez más personas utilizan sesiones únicas en clínicas, organismos públicos de salud, consultorios privados, enlaces de consulta en hospitales, entrevistas para una segunda opinión y demostraciones clínicas. La SST es esencialmente un sistema de entrega, no una escuela específica ni un enfoque teórico. La evidencia más significativa que apoya la adopción de un enfoque de terapia breve son los datos: un gran número de clientes asiste a una sola sesión, esté planeada o no. Este hecho tiene una profunda implicación para todos los enfoques de la terapia y por ello la SST es un modelo contextual, una práctica que se esfuerza por activar los propios recursos de los clientes. Este libro abarca el dilema de cómo brindar la oportunidad de que una sola sesión sea suficiente y, al mismo tiempo, ofrecer opciones de atención y apoyo continuos. Incluye muchos ejemplos clínicos, investigaciones recientes, formación y supervisión, aplicación y disposiciones administrativas de la SST.

Do you have clients who do not want to be helped? Clients who don’t trust you, your profession, or your service? Clients who don’t want to change despite your best efforts? Then No Bullshit Therapy (NBT) is for you! Most simply, NBT is about being authentic. Many people are cajoled, pressured, or mandated to see therapists, counsellors, and other helpers. Hence, they are reluctant, suspicious, and resistant to being helped. This puts professionals in the difficult position of trying to help someone who does not want to be helped. To make things worse, there are few practice models designed to engage people who don’t want to be engaged. NBT creates a context for mutual honesty and directness in working relationships. Creating a context for mutual honesty and directness can be refreshingly effective, especially with people who are suspicious of counselling or distrustful of the counsellor. When combined with warmth and care, honesty and directness can enhance co-operation, connection, and trust, especially if the practitioner avoids jargon and acknowledges constraints to the work. NBT is ideal for working with people who: • Don’t like therapy or the idea of therapy (even if they’ve never had it) • Don’t trust warm fuzzy “do-gooders” or “psychologisers” • Are suspicious of services because they have experienced trauma and have had abusive institutional experiences or unsatisfactory treatment in the past • Don’t see themselves as a client, don’t agree with the referrer’s description of them or their problems, and appear to not want to change Practical and engaging, this book is an essential guide for therapists, counsellors, and other allied-health professionals who are looking for a more effective way to connect with reluctant clients and ensure they get the support they need. It may also help you create more robust relationships at work and at home.

Elia Kazan

Elia Kazan is the director responsible for films such as On the Waterfront, A Streetcar Named Desire, Viva Zapata! and East of Eden - to name but a few. With Marlon Brando and James Dean he inaugurated a new age of screen acting - one closely connected to the New York Method school - which has left a lasting impression on American movies. A Greek immigrant - who immortalized his family's struggle to reach the New World in his film America, America - he was ferociously committed to dealing with the problems that beset American society - trade unions in On the Waterfront; anti-semitism in The Gentlemen's Agreement; media manipulation in A Face in the Crowd; and ecology in Wild River. His demand for an authentic intensity of performance from his actors brought a powerful emotionalism to American movies and created moments of cinema that live forever in the memory. This book chronicles, in his own words, the career of a director who re-defined American film acting.

Appalachian Fall

I am flying. I swoop over the rooftops of Liverpool, over the waterfront and out to sea, following a trawler as it drags its nets through the wild sea. I am a sixteen-year-old bird boy, addicted to seagull blood, flying through sea-storms, up to the moon . . . On the run from tragedy, Lucas escaped Liverpool - then a city cast aside, a city crumbling. Now he's back, the old gang don't rush to welcome him home and ghosts haunt the ruins of their childhood playgrounds. The city chases renaissance: could his love affair with childhood sweetheart Lizzie blossom again too? Bright Phoenix is a wild, dream-like play about the carnival of the city at night; about a gang of rebel kids who still don't quite fit in as grown-ups; and about their love for a dying cinema and their mad plan to bring it back to life like a phoenix. Featuring live music, Jeff Young's epic and poetic play reveals the magic of forgotten places and dreaming beneath the stars. The play received its world premiere at the Liverpool Everyman on 3 October 2014.

Horses, history and lilacs are interwoven in Mackinac Island's fabric. The iconic blossoms grow all over the island, from back alleys to the Grand Hotel's hillside to entire hedges at British Landing. The crown jewel is Marquette Park with nearly 115 plants and about 75 varieties. During lilac time in June, a fragrant canopy of color rises as high as 18 feet on the oldest lilacs. Strong winds off the lake have twisted and turned the gnarled branches of these old giants for more than 200 years. Nowhere else on the planet can you find such architecture as this in a lilac. LILACS: A Fortnight of Fragrance on Mackinac Island takes you on a photographic tour of lilacs unfolding in island gardens while sharing insight on when lilacs were first planted here, why they thrive in Mackinac Island's climate, how they inspire artists, and the efforts of Islanders to celebrate and sustain these beautiful plants.

A searing, on-the-ground examination of the coal industry—and the workers left behind—in the midst of an environmental crisis, addiction, and rising white nationalism. The past few years have highlighted the paradox at the heart of coal country. Despite fueling a century of American progress, its people are being left behind, suffering from unemployment, addiction, and environmental crises often at greater rates than anywhere else in the country. But what if Appalachia’s troubles are just a taste of what the future holds for all of us? Appalachian Fall tells the captivating true story of coal communities on the leading edge of change. A group of local reporters known as the Ohio Valley ReSource shares the real-world impact these changes have had on what was once the heart and soul of America. Including stories about the miners striking in Harlan County after their company suddenly went bankrupt, bouncing their paychecks; the farmers tilling former mining ground for new cash crops like hemp and maple syrup; the activists working to fight mountaintop removal and bring clean energy jobs to the region; and the mothers mourning the loss of their children to overdose and despair. In the wake of the controversial bestseller Hillbilly Elegy, Appalachian Fall addresses what our country owes to a region that provided fuel for a century and what it risks if it stands by watching as the region, and its people, collapse.

Pete Townshend

'Lifehouse' is Pete Townshend's extraordinary playscript, originally begun as a sequel to Tommy in 1971. Widely believed to be abandoned, the play remained close to Townshend's heart and he has been working on it ever since. Now at last complete, the script portrays one man's desperate search for his daughter, who has gone missing and is presumed dead. Drawn through the industrial wastes of Britain back to the city from which he once hoped to escape, Ray is magnetised by the voice of a pirate DJ, calling the like-minded and lost to the Lifehouse - a massive, subversive music event. This visionary and apocalyptic play addresses the spiritual consequences of our move away from physical human congregation to digital networking, and examines the increased power that music may have.
