Their unspoken stories are ones of heartache, dull marriages, abusive relationships, lost loves and secret hopes.

Tie a Knot and Hang on: Providing Mental Health Care in a Turbulent Environment
by Teresa ScheidTie a Knot and Hang On is an analysis of mental health care work that crosses the borders of diverse sociological traditions. The work seeks to understand the theoretical and empirical linkages between environmental pressures and activities and how these intersect with organizations and individuals. The work draws upon a research tradition that sees the issue of mental health care in terms of institutional pressures and normative values. The author provides a description and a sociological analysis of mental health care work, emphasizing the interaction of professionally generated norms that guide the "emotional labor" of mental health care workers, and the organizational contexts within which mental health care is provided. She concludes with a discussion of emerging institutional forces that will shape the mental health care system in the future. These forces are having greater impact than ever before as managed care comes to have a huge fiscal as well as institutional impact on the work of mental health professionals. Scheid's book is a brilliant, nuanced effort to explain the institutional demands for efficiency and cost containment with the professional ethics that emphasize quality care for the individual. The book is essential reading for those interested in mental health care organizations and the providers responding to these seemingly larger, abstract demands. The work offers a rich mixture not just of the problems faced by mental health care personnel, but the equilibrium currently in place u an equilibrium that shapes the theory of the field, no less than the activities of its practitioners. Teresa L. Scheid is associate professor of sociology, at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. She has published widely in the area, including major essays in Sociology of Health and Illness, Sociological Quarterly, Perspectives on Social Problems, and The Journal of Applied Behavioral Science.

Tiefenpsychologische Bindungsanalyse: Modell und Methode – für ärztliche und psychologische Psychotherapeuten (Psychotherapie: Praxis)
by Bernd NockemannDiese Monografie wagt den Versuch, die Durcharbeitung der frühen, prägenden Bindungserfahrungen für das Setting der tiefenpsychologisch fundierten Psychotherapie zu erschließen. Der Autor lässt uns teilhaben an seinen Überlegungen zu einem streng naturwissenschaftlich gedachten Aufbau unserer aller Entwicklungs- und Veränderungsbedingungen, vom einfachen Reflex bis zur komplexen Bindungsbeziehung. Aus dem Inhalt: Die auffälligen Überschneidungen der Bindungstheorie und der Selbstpsychologie bilden den Kern der grundlegenden theoretischen Weiterentwicklung des psychodynamischen Modells. Mit den Begrifflichkeiten der Bindungstheorie gelingt es dem Autor, die Modellvorstellungen der Selbstpsychologie um entscheidende Elemente zu ergänzen. Psychodynamische Therapien werden mit der TBA überschaubarer, leichter zu handhaben (mit konkreten Fragen zur Bindungsgeschichte) und wirkungsvoller. Mit einem Geleitwort von Klaus E. Grossmann. Über den Autor: Bernd Nockemann ist niedergelassener Arzt für Psychosomatische Medizin und Psychotherapie in Radevormwald. Sein Anliegen ist, die Methode der Tiefenpsychologischen Bindungsanalyse den psychodynamisch orientierten Kolleginnen und Kollegen auf einer theoretisch gut fundierten und verständlichen Basis nutzbar zu machen. In seiner Freizeit liebt Bernd Nockemann Sport und das Zusammensein mit seiner Familie und Freunden am selbstgebauten Pizzaofen sowie die Interpretation gepflegter Polyphonie, von klassischen Oratorien bis Comedian Harmonists.

Ties that Enable: Community Solidarity for People Living with Serious Mental Health Problems
by Teresa L. Scheid S. Megan SmithTies that Enable is written for students, providers, and advocates seeking to understand how best to improve mental health care – be it for themselves, their loved ones, their clients, or for the wider community. The authors integrate their knowledge of mental health care as researchers, teachers, and advocates and rely on the experiences of people living with severe mental health problems to help understand the sources of community solidarity. Communities are the primary source of social solidarity, and given the diversity of communities, solutions to the problems faced by individuals living with severe mental health problems must start with community level initiatives. “Ties that Enable” examines the role of a faith-based community group in providing a sense of place and belonging as well as reinforcing a valued social identity. The authors argue that mental health reform efforts need to move beyond a focus on individual recovery to more complex understandings of the meaning of community care. In addition, mental health care needs to move from a medical model to a social model which sees the roots of mental illness and recovery as lying in society, not the individual. It is our society’s inability to provide inclusive supportive environments which restrict the ability of individuals to recover. This book provides insights into how communities and system level reforms can promote justice and the higher ideals we aspire to as a society.

by Scott RickA revolutionary guide to navigating the financial aspects of real relationshipsHave you ever asked yourself “What if I’m a tightwad and my significant other is a spendthrift?” or vice versa? Scott Rick, a behavioral scientist at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, knows that many people do.

Building on his original research, and surveying a vast body of interdisciplinary work, Tightwads and Spendthrifts will help you understand your own financial psychology and how it plays out in your relationships. Can tightwads and spendthrifts live together in harmony? Rick says “yes,” but not without first asking hard questions about whose opinion should count most when making a financial decision. After all of the issues have been aired, he tells readers how to create a game plan for navigating financial decision making that both Tightwads and Spendthrifts can rely on for a happy life together.
Tilt: Teaching Individuals To Live Together
by Kalman J. KaplanAn alternative to existing bipolar choices, this book looks at individuals and their distances from the self (individuation-deindividuation) and from others (attachment-detachment). Simultaneously theoretical, empirical, and applied, this book can be reasonably applied to all types of individuals involved in interpersonal situations regardless of culture, age, gender, or sexual orientations. Broken into four parts, In the first part, Definitions and Measurements, the author includes an introduction to the Individuation-Attachment Questionnaire.Implications of TILT for Individuals is the basis for part two and includes a view of TILT across the life span. The next section extends the analysis to TILT for Couples and Families. The clinician, counselors, and individuals attempting to help himself/herself are addressed in the final part: TILT for the Clinician and includes application of TILT to everyday life.The text brings to life, through extensive description, the questions and situations consistently raised in couples therapy: space-too much or not enough. TILT: Teaching Individuals To Live Together presents a unique model of individuation and attachment and was developed to facilitate the understanding of the complex relationship between these two developmental processes across the life span. The model shows how we gradually develop our boundaries and hence reduce the need for defensive interpersonal walls. The TILT Model has applications in the fields of therapy, education, and organizational development. Thus, it will be of interest to mental health professionals including psychotherapists, psychologists, counselors, social workers, and marriage and family therapists. Practitioners of transactional analysis will find this book of supreme interest and usefulness.
Tim Burton: A Post-Jungian Perspective
by Helena Bassil-MorozowTim Burton’s films are well known for being complex and emotionally powerful. In this book, Helena Bassil-Morozow employs Jungian and post-Jungian concepts of unconscious mental processes along with film semiotics, analysis of narrative devices and cinematic history, to explore the reworking of myth and fairytale in Burton’s gothic fantasy world. The book explores the idea that Burton’s lonely, rebellious ‘monstrous’ protagonists roam the earth because they are unable to fit into the normalising tendencies of society and become part of ‘the crowd’. Divided into six chapters the book considers the concept of the archetype in various settings focusing on: the child the monster the superhero the genius the maniac the monstrous society. Tim Burton: The Monster and the Crowd offers an entirely fresh perspective on Tim Burton’s works. The book is essential reading for students and scholars of film or Jungian psychology, as well as anyone interested in critical issues in contemporary culture. It will also be of great help to those fans of Tim Burton who have been searching for a profound academic analysis of his works.

Time Expansion Experiences: The Psychology of Time Perception and the Illusion of Linear Time
by Steve TaylorHave you ever been in an accident and felt that time slowed down? Have you felt time stretch radically, or even apparently disappear, in a state of deep meditation? Psychologist Dr Steve Taylor calls these Time Expansion Experiences, and in this book he shares his years of research into this life-changing phenomenon.Most of us will have experienced a TEE, an experience of time slowing down in an extreme situation, and yet it is a phenomenon that has never been fully explored or explained - until now.Psychologist Dr. Steve Taylor has spent several years analysing &“time expansion experiences&” (or TEEs), after collecting hundreds of reports. He has also found many examples of "time cessation experiences" (or TCEs), in which time appears to disappear altogether. In this book he shares the fascinating psychology and shared features behind all of these case studies, coming to an incredible conclusion: TEEs are a real altered state of consciousness, rather than a trick of recollection. Not only this, but TEEs and TCEs are almost always positive, with a sense of calm well-being, clarity and heightened awareness. In this ground-breaking book, discover profound implications: What do unusual states of consciousness such as mystical experiences, psychedelic experiences, and near-death experiences tell us about time and consciousness?What can the countless reports of &“life review&” - when people view a whole lifetime of events and experiences within a few seconds - tell about the past, present and the future?What does modern physics have to say about the idea that linear time is illusory?If our perception of time is an illusion, is it possible to speed up and slow down time at will, including inducing TEEs?
