Faith-Based ACT for Christian Clients: An Integrative Treatment Approach
by Joshua J. KnabbFaith-Based ACT for Christian Clients balances empirical evidence with theology to give clinicians a deep understanding of not just the "why" but also the "how" of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Christian clients. Chapters include a detailed exploration of the overlap between ACT and the Christian faith, case studies, and techniques that are explicitly designed to be accessible to non-Christian as well as Christian (including evangelical Christian) counselors and therapists. Chapters present the established research on mindfulness and ACT, including a nuanced, non-dichotomous view of complex issues such as medication, and lay a firm theological foundation through the use of engaging biblical stories and metaphors.

Christian Psychotherapy in Context: Theoretical and Empirical Explorations in Faith-Based Mental Health
by Joshua J. Knabb Eric L. Johnson M. Todd Bates Timothy A. SisemoreChristian Psychotherapy in Context combines theology with the latest research in clinical psychology to equip mental health practitioners to meet the unique psychological and spiritual needs of Christian clients. Encouraging therapists to operate from within a Christian framework, the authors explore the intersection between a Christian worldview and clients’ emotional struggles, drawing from sources including both foundational theological texts and the “common factors” psychotherapy literature. Written collaboratively by two clinical psychologists, an academic psychologist, and a theologian, this book paves the way for psychotherapeutic practice that builds on Christian principles as the foundation, rather than merely adding them to treatment as an afterthought.

Dancing with the Unconscious: The Art of Psychoanalysis and the Psychoanalysis of Art (Psychoanalysis in a New Key Book Series)
by Danielle KnafoIn writing and lecturing over the past two decades on the relationship between psychoanalysis and art, Danielle Knafo has demonstrated the many ways in which these two disciplines inform and illuminate each other. This book continues that discussion, emphasizing how the creative process in psychoanalysis and art utilizes the unconscious in a quest for transformation and healing. Part one of the book presents case studies to show how free association, transference, dream work, regression, altered states of consciousness, trauma, and solitude function as creative tools for analyst, patient, and artist. Knafo uses the metaphor of dance to describe therapeutic action, the back-and-forth movement between therapist and patient, past and present, containment and release, and conscious and unconscious thought. The analytic couple is both artist and medium, and the dance they do together is a dynamic representation of the boundless creativity of the unconscious mind. Part two of the book offers in-depth studies of several artists to illustrate how they employ various media for self-expression and self-creation. Knafo shows how artists, though mostly creating in solitude, are frequently engaged in significant relational proceses that attempt rapprochement with internalized objects and repair of psychic injury. Dancing with the Unconscious expands the theoretical dimension of psychoanalysis while offering the clinician ways to realize greater creativity in work with patients.
Unconscious Fantasies and the Relational World (Relational Perspectives Book Series #31)
by Danielle Knafo Kenneth FeinerWhat is the role of unconscious fantasies in psychological development, in psychopathology, and in the arts? In Unconscious Fantasies and the Relational World, Danielle Knafo and Kenneth Feiner return to these interlinked questions with a specific goal in mind: a contemporary appreciation of fantasy in its multiform relational contexts. To this end, they provide detailed examinations of primal scene, family romance, and castration fantasies, respectively. Each category of fantasy is pushed beyond its "classical" psychoanalytic meaning by attending to the child's ubiquitous concerns about sexual difference and feelings of incompleteness; her perception of the parental relationship; and the multiple, shifting identifications that grow out of this relationship. Evocative clinical examples illuminate the manner in which patients and analysts play out these three core fantasies. They are balanced by chapters that explore the generative side of these same fantasies in the arts. David Lynch's film Blue Velvet provides an artistic rendering of the primal scene; Jerzy Kosinki's life and work illustrates the family romance; and French multimedia artist Orlan's "carnal art" recreates the trauma of castration. Unconscious Fantasies and the Relational World is a tightly woven study of broad and basic questions. It is in equal measure a contemporary re-visioning of the grounds of fantasy formation, a relationally informed guide to clinical techniques for dealing with unconscious fantasy, and an examination of the generative potential of unconscious fantasy in the arts. Out of the authors’ broadening and broad-minded sensibility emerges an illuminating study of the manifold ways in which unconscious fantasies shape lives and enrich clinical work.
The Age of Perversion: Desire and Technology in Psychoanalysis and Culture (Psychoanalysis in a New Key Book Series)
by Danielle Knafo Rocco Lo BoscoAmerican Board and Academy of Psychoanalysis Book Prize Winner for 2018 (Theoretical Category) We have entered the age of perversion, an era in which we are becoming more like machines and they more like us.The Age of Perversion explores the sea changes occurring in sexual and social life, made possible by the ongoing technological revolution, and demonstrates how psychoanalysts can understand and work with manifestations of perversion in clinical settings. Until now theories of perversion have limited their scope of inquiry to sexual behavior and personal trauma. The authors of this book widen that inquiry to include the social and political sphere, tracing perversion’s existential roots to the human experience of being a conscious animal troubled by the knowledge of death. Offering both creative and destructive possibilities, perversion challenges boundaries and norms in every area of life and involves transgression, illusion casting, objectification, dehumanization, and the radical quest for transcendence. This volume presents several clinical cases, including a man who lived with and loved a sex doll, a woman who wanted to be a Barbie doll, and an Internet sex addict. Also examined are cases of widespread social perversion in corporations, the mental health care industry, and even the government. In considering the continued impact of technology, the authors discuss how it is changing the practice of psychotherapy. They speculate about what the future may hold for a species who will redefine what it means to be human more in the next few decades than during any other time in human history. The Age of Perversion provides a novel examination of the convergence of perversion and technology that will appeal to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists, social workers, mental health counselors, sex therapists, sexologists, roboticists, and futurists, as well as social theorists and students and scholars of cultural studies.
From Breakdown to Breakthrough: Psychoanalytic Treatment of Psychosis (Psychoanalysis in a New Key Book Series)
by Danielle Knafo Michael SelzerAs a clear and user-friendly guide for clinicians who work with patients affected by psychosis, this book challenges the false notion that psychosis is untreatable through talk therapy. The authors contend that since psychotic symptoms are features of survival adaptation, they naturally serve as a valuable source of information, providing clues about the origins of people's psychic derailment along with a path to its cure. The authors advise therapists not only to read and respond to the messages embedded in the symptoms, but also to recognize and utilise the non-psychotic aspects of the patient in facilitating recovery. The overall aim is to recruit the patient as a collaborator in their treatment, thus wresting a meaningful and redemptive narrative from the psychotic experience. All aspects and phases of treatment - from initial encounters through the middle phase to termination, and even supervision - are covered in this volume. Abundant with clinical examples, theoretical and technical points, and treatment methods, this book is essential reading for all psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, and other mental health clinicians working with psychosis.

William James: Psychical Research and the Challenge of Modernity
by Krister Dylan KnappIn this insightful new book on the remarkable William James, the American psychologist and philosopher, Krister Dylan Knapp provides the first deeply historical and acutely analytical account of James's psychical research. While showing that James always maintained a critical stance toward claims of paranormal phenomena like spiritualism, Knapp uses new sources to argue that psychical research held a strikingly central position in James's life. It was crucial to his familial and professional relationships, the fashioning of his unique intellectual disposition, and the shaping of his core doctrines, especially the will-to-believe, empiricism, fideism, and theories of the subliminal consciousness and immortality.Knapp explains how and why James found in psychical research a way to rethink the well-trodden approaches to classic Euro-American religious thought, typified by the oppositional categories of natural vs. supernatural and normal vs. paranormal. He demonstrates how James eschewed these choices and instead developed a tertiary synthesis of them, an approach Knapp terms tertium quid, the third way. Situating James's psychical research in relation to the rise of experimental psychology and Protestantism's changing place in fin de siecle America, Knapp asserts that the third way illustrated a much broader trend in transatlantic thought as it struggled to navigate the uncertainties and religious adventurism of the modern age.

Practical Ethics for Psychologists: A Positive Approach
by Samuel J. Knapp Randy FingerhutThe fourth edition of this seminal book, guided by the APA Ethics Code and a social justice perspective, shows psychologists how to achieve higher standards of ethical practice in their everyday work. Advocating a positive, proactive approach to ethics, Samuel Knapp and Randy Fingerhut go beyond the minimal ethical requirements in clinical practice, research, education, forensic psychology, consultation, and other areas. Through vivid case examples, they explore ethical dilemmas that psychologists must face regarding issues including informed consent, confidentiality, maintaining competence, and protecting the welfare of clients and society at large. The authors present three models to guide psychologists: - the ethics acculturation model for balancing personal and professional ethics; - the five-step decision-making model for navigating complex ethical quandaries; and - the quality enhancement model for managing risk, particularly with patients who may cause harm to themselves or others. This edition offers an enhanced focus on social justice as an ethical responsibility, expanded guidelines related to healthcare technologies, and greater emphasis on psychologist self-care. Psychologists will learn how to collaborate with and empower patients, research subjects, students, and others impacted by their work, ensuring that they are actively engaged in ethical decisions.
Ethical Dilemmas In Psychotherapy: Positive Approaches To Decision Making
by Samuel J. Knapp Michael C. Gottlieb Mitchell M. HandelsmanGoing beyond the basics of ethics, this book guides readers through complex ethical quandaries. It describes an easily applied decision-making process based on positive ethics and bolstered by numerous case examples that will help psychotherapists reach the best solutions possible. New and experienced psychotherapists alike can find themselves overwhelmed by an ethical quandary where there doesn’t seem to be an easy solution. This book presents positive ethics as a means to overcome such ethical challenges. The positive approach focuses on not just avoiding negative consequences, but reaching the best possible outcomes for both the psychotherapist and the client. The authors outline a clear decision-making process that is based on three practical strategies: • ethical decision-making models to make the most ethical decision in a situation where two ethical principles conflict, • the quality enhancement model for reducing the risk of treatment failure, and • ethics acculturation model to help therapists incorporate personal ethics into their professional roles. Numerous vignettes illustrate how to apply positive ethics to many different ethical challenges that psychotherapists will likely encounter in practice.

From a Clear Blue Sky: Surviving the Mountbatten Bomb
by Timothy KnatchbullThe prize-winning, &“exceptionally moving&” memoir of a family boat trip, an IRA bombing, and a teenager&’s loss of his twin brother (The Telegraph).Christopher Ewart-Biggs Literary Award Winner and PEN/JR Ackerley Prize Nominee On an August weekend in 1979, fourteen-year-old Timothy Knatchbull joined his family on a boat trip off the shore of Mullaghmore in County Sligo, Ireland. By noon, an Irish Republican Army bomb had destroyed the boat, leaving four dead. The author survived, but his grandparents, family friend, and twin brother did not. Lord Mountbatten, his grandfather, was the target, and became one of the IRA&’s most high-profile assassinations. Knatchbull and his parents were too badly injured to attend the funerals of those killed, which only intensified their profound sense of loss. Telling this story decades later, Knatchbull not only revisits these terrible events but also writes an intensely personal account of human triumph over tragedy—a story of recovery not just from physical wounds but deep emotional trauma.From a Clear Blue Sky takes place in Ireland at the height of the Troubles and gives compelling insight into that period of Irish history. But more importantly, it brings home that while calamity can strike at any moment, the human spirit is able to forgive, to heal, and to move on. &“A minute by minute story of what happened that day, and what happened afterwards.&” —Daily Mail &“This is an extremely moving book. Beyond providing a phenomenally detailed evocation of his own family&’s trauma, Knatchbull has lots of wise things to say about how we survive horrors—of all kinds—in our lives.&” — Zoë Heller, author of the Booker Prize finalist Notes on a Scandal &“A very poignant, clearsighted, heartbreaking but ultimately positive account.&” —Hugh Bonneville, The New York Times
Mediale Dialogkompetenz: Umgang mit schwierigen Gesprächssituationen am Telefon und im Chat
by Birgit Knatz Stefan SchumacherIn vielen Berufsfeldern findet zwischenmenschlicher Dialog nicht mehr „face-to-face“ statt, sondern durch Schreiben und Lesen oder Sprechen und Hören – im Chat, am Telefon, in Messengerdiensten oder über Voicemails.

In diesem Fachbuch beschreiben die Autoren anhand zahlreicher Fallbeispiele herausfordernde und schwierige Gesprächssituationen im Chat oder am Telefon. Sie geben praktische Tipps und vermitteln Handlungsstrategien für den Umgang mit Menschen in Krisensituationen oder mit schwierigen Persönlichkeiten sowie zur Verringerung mentaler und emotionaler Belastungen, die durch die Kommunikation mit diesen Menschen entstehen.
Bullying im Klassenverband – doch nicht nur in der Schule: Eine Charakterisierung der Rollen bei Schul- und Cyberbullying
by Rhea-Katharina KnaufDas vorliegende Open-Access-Buch befasst sich mit den Fragen, welche Rollen Klassenmitglieder bei Bullying einnehmen und durch welche sozial-kognitiven und affektiven Reaktionen sie sich auszeichnen. Bei Bullying handelt es sich um aggressives Verhalten, das sich über einen längeren Zeitraum hinweg systematisch gegen schwächere Mitglieder einer Gruppe richtet. Bullying ist dementsprechend als Gruppenphänomen zu verstehen, das unter anderem häufig in Schulklassen auftritt. Die vorliegende empirische Arbeit berücksichtigt sowohl Bullying im schulischen Kontext als auch Bullying mittels digitaler Medien – also Cyberbullying. Grundannahme ist, dass sich Bullying im Klassenverband heutzutage auch in den Cyberspace erstreckt. Neben Täter- und Opfer-Rolle wird zwischen drei Bystander-Rollen differenziert: Verstärker, Verteidiger und Außenstehende. Der Vergleich zwischen diesen Rollen zeigt, dass sich unter Kontrolle von Geschlecht und Klassenstufe insbesondere Verteidiger- und Täter-Rolle in Hinblick auf Empathie, Moral Disengagement, Verantwortungsgefühl und Selbstwirksamkeitserwartungen unterscheiden, es jedoch wider Erwarten keine Unterschiede zwischen den Bystander-Rollen bezüglich Befürchtungen gibt.
Psychotherapie, Depression und Emanzipation: Eine subjektwissenschaftliche Studie zur verhaltenstherapeutischen Praxis
by Leonie KnebelViele Psychotherapeut*innen schreiben ihrer Praxis eine Förderung von Selbstreflexion und selbstbestimmter Lebensführung zu, wohingegen Kritiker*innen eine Individualisierung und Verinnerlichung gesellschaftlicher Zwänge konstatieren. Ebenso umstritten ist, ob die Präsenz von Depressionen Folge einer pervertierten Emanzipation oder von selbstwertschädlichen Abhängigkeiten und Einschränkungen ist. Können und sollen Psychotherapien bei Depression Emanzipation fördern? Und wie lässt sich ein kritischer Anspruch in der Praxis der Verhaltenstherapie umsetzen, die traditionell als Anpassungsinstrument für fremdgesetzte Ziele angesehen wird? Dieses Buch versammelt eine Auswertung der interdisziplinären Literatur zu diesen Fragen und die Ergebnisse einer Interviewstudie mit Psychotherapeut*innen und Betroffenen, die von ihren Begegnungen, ihrer Arbeit sowie Klärungs- und Sorgeprozessen im Spannungsverhältnis von Selbstbestimmung, Einsamkeit, Solidarität und Abhängigkeit berichten. Daraus ergeben sich Anregungen für eine handlungstheoretische Weiterentwicklung der Verhaltenstherapie bei Depression und Anforderungen für eine emanzipatorisch intendierte Psychotherapie.
