Over 3 million copies sold worldwide and translated into seven languages! For over 25 years Counselling for Toads has provided readers with a warm and engaging introduction to counselling, brought to life by Toad and his friends from Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows. Over the course of ten sessions, which correspond to chapters of the book, a very depressed Toad learns how to analyse his own feelings and develop his emotional intelligence using the language and ideas of transactional analysis. He meets his 'rebellious child' and his 'adult' along the way and by the end of the book, Toad is setting out on a completely new adventure – as debonair as he ever was. Readers will learn about the counselling process and themselves as they join Toad on his journey from psychological distress to psychological growth and development. A must-read for anyone approaching counselling for the first time, whether as a student or as a client, or for the professional counsellor looking for something to recommend to the hesitant.

Based on real life experiences and written by an internationally recognized expert in emerging fields of psychology, this unique novel immerses the reader into the world of a psychology intern working on the psychiatric unit of a modern teaching hospital. With irreverent humor, a surreal imagination, and elements of eastern philosophy, this coming-of-age story captures the point of view of a young clinical psychologist, Thomas Holden. A keen observer with a comic eye, Holden's ongoing internal musings, along with his experiences with patients and staff, expose both the absurdity and idealism inherent in psychotherapeutic practice. Ultimately overwhelmed by exhaustion and bewildered by the paradoxical behaviors of his newest patient - a "John Doe" with no memory or identity - Holden wonders whether he too is losing his grip on reality. Description: Thomas Holden, a psychology intern working in a psychiatric hospital, is in trouble. The depressed patient he discharged yesterday was run over by a mail truck. Was it suicide? Is he responsible for her death? His new patient Richard Mobin is a violent paranoid schizophrenic who drowns baby birds and thinks men in raincoats are plotting to kill him. If that isn't enough, Holden is assigned yet another difficult patient - a "John Doe" who apparently has no memory or identity, a man whom police found wandering the highway, collecting and burying road kill. But is this John Doe truly crazy, or is there something he's hiding? Is he working some scheme against Holden? Reviews: "Madman is a genuine tour de force, maintaining an emotionally powerful grip on the reader while presenting an intellectually sound introduction to the world of clinical psychology. In the context of an action-packed suspenseful novel, Professor Suler presents the fundamental theoretical and historical foundations of clinical psychology side by side with the real-world practical problems that challenge the wisdom of the theories. This is a good read for all mental health professionals and anyone who is contemplating becoming one. I couldn t put it down until it ended, and I had a hard time letting go when it did." -- Edward S. Katkin, Leading Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Psychiatry, Stony Brook University College Student Reviews: "It pulled me in from beginning to end...hilarious " "One of the best novels I have read in college and a work of literature." "I liked every aspect of the book, it kept me wanting to read more. I never wanted to put it down." "I loved the character Thomas Holden. He s amazing. I would be reading along and then all of a sudden he would say something so outrageous or funny that I would have to highlight the sentence or reread it." "This book really inspired me to continue my career in psychology." "From the beginning it draws you in and makes you feel like you re really there." "Realistic and authentic. It takes the reader through three continuous days on the unit and the thoughts running through the psychologist s mind." About the Author: John Suler PhD, Professor of Psychology at Rider University, is internationally recognized as a founder of the fields of Cyberpsychology and Photographic Psychology. His groundbreaking work "The Psychology of Cyberspace" is one of the first and most widely cited online hypertext books. An expert in emerging fields of psychology, he has also published widely on the integration of eastern philosophy and psychoanalysis. His collected works on that subject can be found in the book "Contemporary Psychoanalysis and Eastern Thought" (State University of New York Press), a tour de force showcasing Suler s talent for dazzling integrative thinking combined with an experience-near writing style. The novel MADMAN follows from this work, combining the imagination of Vonnegut, the coming-of-age storytelling of JD Salinger, and the penchant for sidebar essays reminiscent of Robert Pirsig.

In recent years a new set of psychological principles has emerged from research investigating adventure and adventurous activities. Adventure involves a special type of physical activity in natural contexts where participants voluntarily participate in experiences where the environment and activity are challenging, perhaps dangerous and potentially life threatening. To go on an adventure is to participate in an enduring event requiring sustainable effort, where effective performance is measured not only by success but also by survival. This book brings together the emerging literature in ‘Adventure Psychology’ that supports enduring performance and wellbeing. The first section examines sustaining performance and wellbeing. The second section studies the transformative aspect of adventure. Adventure Psychology is of use in everyday life and the techniques and understandings can help people and business prepare for the future. This book will help us all thrive despite adversity, volatility and uncertainty. Written for researchers this book will also be useful for trainers, educators and students of sport, performance and organisational psychology as well as adventurers and endurance athletes. Adventure Psychology is designed to meet the needs of specialists across a variety of fields but importantly also to be accessible and applicable for those wanting to live life fully — to realise our full potential.

This book is a hilarious, behind-the-scenes look at what really happens behind the closed doors of a mental health center. In this clinic, psychopathic personalities are the norm for the employees, not the patients. This story illustrates how one man learned to survive a nightmare work environment by treating each day as an adventure. This radical look at mental health services will inform, shock, and encourage people to take a serious look at the quality of health care service they are receiving.

Here Grof presents a useful model of the psychea model extended by his thirty years of studying non-ordinary states of consciousness. It is useful for understanding such phenomena as shamanism, mysticism, psychedelic states, spontaneous visionary experiences, and psychotic episodes. The model is also useful in explaining the dynamics of experiential psychotherapies and a variety of sociopolitical manifestations such as war and revolution. This book might have been entitled Beyond Drugs. The second part describes the principles and process of the non-pharmacological technique developed by the author and his wife, Christina, for self-exploration and for psychotherapy. Grof explores in detail the components of this technique. He describes its method, its effective mechanisms, as well as its goals and potential. Its practice is simple, since it utilizes the natural healing capacity of the psyche.

It's a bull market in psychiatry these days. A simple search on the Internet of the words "majority of psychotropic medications prescribed without a diagnosis" shows the fury in the eyes of the bull. Lots of psychiatric medications are being prescribed to many people without a justifying diagnosis. A ton of money is being paid in psychiatry.On Wall Street there is a saying: "Bulls make money, bears make money, but pigs just get slaughtered!" When it comes to medicine, I haven't seen a slaughtered pig yet. At least not in psychiatry, my specialty. Pigs getting fatter, that's another story.In a bad economy the unemployment rate raises, inviting patients to regard minor imperfections as a diagnosis to blame unemployment on: "Doc, I have ADHD, do something"-discounting that in a good economy the conversation may not take place. In a good economy, patients with minor imperfections stand a better chance to of employment, thus of functioning just fine, not even close to considering a diagnosis. The psychiatrist must do what keeps the patient healthy, not what keeps the patient happy. Psychiatry in general is not about finding happiness, but about finding health. A tension is present between health and happiness. Early in training, a psychiatrist learns to say no, while communicating at the same time validation and support to the patient. The psychiatrist is not supposed to be a drug dealer with license.Health and consumption of healthcare are two different things. The goal of achieving health is at risk of turning into the goal of consuming healthcare, when professional organizations regard psychiatric patients as consumers. The difference is subtle, like between walking home and just walking.Through a flow of ideas, the society influences the normalcy for a person. For instance, when the society hires a psychiatrist to take care of a patient, the normalcy for the patient is fluid, subject to the flow of ideas between the psychiatrist and the patient. Consequently, if the psychiatrist engages in a dialogue with the patient or remains silent influences what is normal for the patient.A universe in itself, brain illness is powerful, tempting, alluring, and strong. It's an attractor. The patient has to negotiate a way out of it. The bidimensional battle of good and evil in a healthy brain becomes the tridimensional battle of good, evil and disease in an ill brain.In the field of psychiatry, usually there is more to the story than what the patient says. When compared to a checklist of symptoms, listening to the story is important, as inferring from the story may be necessary, to sort out the line between what is going on and what the patient believes is going on.The unconscious is a negotiator at the table of the present, because time is always now, in the present, in the unconscious. The past is not the past but is the present in the unconscious. Time is a matter of consciousness. Outside awareness of time, a person is always in the now. A consciously familiar situation is the previous situation in the unconscious. The conscious "this feels familiar" turns into "this is happening again" in the unconscious.
