Men, Addiction, and Intimacy
In the substance abuse and addiction treatment realm, males outnumber females two to one.
While gender-issues are seen as a key element of women’s treatment, the acknowledgement that males are "gendered beings" who have lived lives full of male-specific developmental challenges is often overlooked.
This text takes a developmental lifespan approach to examine the neurobiological and psychosocial factors associated with substance use disorders for males, specifically in relation to emotional growth and awareness, and how these areas, in turn, affect the development of healthy relationships.
Managing Depression, Growing Older
Even when he’s grey around the muzzle, the black dog of depression can still deliver a ferocious bite.
Depression can strike at any age, and it may appear for the first time as we get older, as a result of life circumstances or our genetic makeup.
While older people face the same kinds of mental health issues as younger people, they can find it more difficult to deal with them owing to the stressors which accumulate with age.
Managing Depression Growing Older offers a systematic guide to identifying depression in older people, supporting them at home or in an aged care setting, and the importance of diet, exercise and attitude in recovery.

Trancework
For three decades, Trancework has been the fundamental textbook for guiding professionals in learning hypnosis. Now in its fourth edition, this classic text continues to be the most comprehensive book for learning the fundamental skills of the field.
This edition accommodates new studies and topics, and contains five new chapters on positive psychology, the management of pain, pediatric and adolescent hypnosis, behavioral medicine, and hypnosis across modalities.
Readers can expect to receive a comprehensive overview of what is currently going on in the domain of hypnosis, an in-depth consideration of issues associated with the use of hypnosis, a greater appreciation for the diverse ways in which hypnosis can be applied, and a more detailed description of hypnotic methods and characteristics.
Integrated Care
This book provides pertinent and practical information about how to create, work, and thrive in an Integrated Care (IC) setting.
Unlike other books on the subject, it focuses on the "nuts and bolts" of establishing an IC practice; it also covers material that is often missing from or insufficiently covered in the existing literature.
Specific topics discussed include the basics of IC, such as different models and levels of IC and examples of IC initiatives; how to build an IC program, with guidelines for entering and working effectively in a practice, as well as managing the associated economic aspects; ethical issues involved in IC, given the discrepancies between medical and mental health ethical standards; assessment and intervention in IC; cross-cultural and diversity issues in IC; and leadership, consultation, and supervision.
Sexual Awareness
In the newest edition of this classic text, veteran authors Barry and Emily McCarthy explain how desire, pleasure, and satisfaction can enrich your relationship.
As the premier book on the subject, Sexual Awareness focuses on factors that promote and subvert healthy couple sexuality.
Reading this book and partaking in the psychosocial skill exercises it contains will help couples learn how to value sexuality as a positive and satisfying part of their lives.
Tough Guys and True Believers
Some men are especially difficult to manage in the psychotherapy room, being demanding, rigid, aggressive, and prejudiced.
This book will be a guide for therapists and counselors who work with these authoritarian men, offering an understanding of them and an empirically supported set of recommendations to work with them effectively.
In the first part, Robertson explores what an authoritarian male is and how he came to be that way, and describes the different types: Tough Guys, which include the abusive partner and the workplace bully, and True Believers, the zealous follower and the messenger from God.
