The book is targeted at practitioners working with children and young people and will make essential reading for anyone undertaking training in the helping professions where the elements of psychotherapy and counseling are requisite to practice.

This book also speaks to advancing practitioners insofar as essential elements of the therapeutic relationship, such as containment, trust, and transference, are re-cast in light of the modern challenges of working with children, especially young children. There are an increasing number of courses in the UK (and abroad) which focus on...

Why do we take drugs? I haven't the faintest idea, but Gary Winship has a damned good go at telling me the answer. Some might say this is a largely academic book, but as an ex-psychiatric nurse and a Jo Public for the last twenty-five years, I'd say there's something in here for everyone.

It is also an important contribution to the drug policy debate.'- Professor Nick Manning, Director,...

She travelled in a highly romantic world as socialite, sociologist, and author. She was part of Georg Simmel's salon, the most exclusive in Berlin, frequented by elusive poet Stefan Georg, dramatist Paul Ernst, social theorist and polymath Max Weber, and Georg Lukacs, among others. Salome's unique contribution to the erotic was that she argued sexual difference ran deeper than economics and equality-the politics of Marx and the...
