Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Leadership in Health Care has established itself as an authoritative yet accessible resource for nursing and professions allied to health. Students -as well as professional leaders working in practice - who need a clear and engaging guide to the key theories and practice skills required for effec…tive leadership in health care will benefit from this text. Now revised and updated into a second edition, the book retains its successful approach of looking at leadership theory from an individual, team and organisational perspective, and continues to focus on major areas such as problem solving, dealing with conflict, unhealthy behaviours and notions of quality, diversity and individual values. This new edition, however, responds to recent political changes in health care with the inclusion of two new chapters on interprofessional working and on emotional intelligence. The authors have also taken the opportunity to focus more clearly on service users, and take forward the concept of project management. The books ability to bridge the gap between theory, research and practice is one of the reasons why it is so highly-regarded. To strengthen this key feature, more case studies, activities and self-evaluation exercises have been integrated into the existing range of practical material so that readers have further opportunities to analyse their own self-knowledge and leadership skills. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This practical and comprehensive guide demonstrates the essential interpersonal skills and techniques - including reflecting, paraphrasing, summarizing and empathy - which can be used to counsel the depressed person. The book explores the complexities of the depressive experience and examines the… central issues of abandonment, sense of failure, powerlessness, shame and guilt inherent in the nature of depression. Paul Gilbert illustrates the absolute need for the counsellor to be aware of the fragility and negativity of the depressive state and focuses on the importance for both client and counsellor of the therapeutic relationship and the role of the guided discovery. Using carefully chosen illustrations and case examples, Gilbert traces the steps appropriate at different stages in the counselling process and shows how the counsellor can help the client to change, and to take over the whole method of change, in order to cope independently. A final section looks at the special problems which arise in depressed clients. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A new edition of this book is available WINNER OF TES/NASEN BEST ACADEMIC BOOK AWARD 2000 `It is to be hoped that teachers and others who deal with children and young people in group settings will read this book and realize that there is a positive as well as a negative side to autism. Whilst it…is a huge burden for any parents to know that their child is different, if must help to know that that child can be happy. In trying to help children conform to a fairly arbitrary norm, do we risk turning some with much to contribute, into misfits whose families and schools apologize for them rather than celebrating their very individual learning styles, personalities and potential? - Jane Lovey, Cambridge University School of Education `In her book Martian in the Playground, Clare Sainsbury gives a scholarly and insightful description of the experience of people with Aspergers Syndrome. The accounts of their memories of school, both in the classroom and in social settings, should be read by all involved in education of students with an autistic disorder. This book will be if interest to all who are involved with Aspergers Syndrome: parents, professional and the young people themselves- Dr Jane Shields, Director NAS Earlybird Centre `This is amazingly informative book that should be read by every parent/family of a child with Aspergers Syndrome. It should also be included on the reading list of any teachers who have an Aspergers pupil in their class. I am deeply grateful to Clare Sainsbury for writing this book because now when I am forced to justify my sons outrageous behaviour to members of my family, friends and acquaintances I can save my breadth and just hand them this wonderful volume - Grapevine `An extremely perceptive account of the experiences that young people with Aspergers Syndrome go through during their schooling - Education Psychology in Practice `Written in a clear accessible style a profoundly optimistic book education manuals such as this one have an essential role to play in promoting inclusive practice, and as such it is highly recommended reading - Disability & Society `This deceptively little book contains more truth and provides more insight into what it is like to have Aspergers Syndrome than many weighty tome on the subject. It offers a view from the inside, but it is not yet another autobiography. Admirably and refreshingingly, the author has refrained from giving an account solely based on her own experiences. Instead she sets out observations from 25 different suffers, giving often astonishing and sometimes harrowing glimpses of what actually happens to a child with Aspergers s Syndrome in the classroom, in the playground, in the lunch queue and at home - Child Psychology & Psychiatry `This is an exceptional book which succeeds brilliantly in providing an insight into what life is like for a youngster with Aspergers Syndrome - Special Children `This is a wise and enabling book which is also a damn good read- Peter Clough, University of Sheffield This exceptional book aims to illuminate what it means to be a person who has Aspergers Syndrome by providing a window into a unique and particular world. Drawing on her own experience of schooling, and that of a network of friends and correspondents who share her way of thinking and responding, Clare Sainsbury reminds us of the unique potential for harm which education holds for those who do not fit. This book holds insights that take us beyond the standard guidance on how to manage autistic spectrum disorder. It challenges the way we might handle obsessional behaviour. It invites us to celebrate the pure passion of the intellect, which such obsessions can represent, and to recognise the delight which can be experienced by children who love to collect. It reminds us that many of the autistic mannerisms we might try to suppress actually help the child to think. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlig.
