Electronic Inspection Copy available here "The best simply got better. The first edition of this book was already quite simply the best introduction to psychoanalysis ever written and has been appropriately extremely popular with teachers and students alike. The thoroughly updated second edition retains all the powerful features of the first including its remarkable clarity and accessibility. The field will be greatly indebted to these authors for many years." - Professor Peter Fonagy, University College London A Short Introduction to Psychoanalysis offers a user-friendly introduction to arguably the most misunderstood of all the psychological therapies. This fully updated and revised second edition explains what psychoanalysis really is and provides the reader with an overview of its basic concepts, historical development, critiques and research base. Demonstrating the far reaching influence of psychoanalysis, the authors - all practicing psychoanalysts - describe how its concepts have been applied beyond the consulting room and examine its place within the spectrum of other psychological theories. The text is enlivened by numerous clinical examples. New to this edition, the book o discusses parent infant psychotherapy and mentalization-based therapy (MBT) o further investigates psychotherapy in the NHS and the IAPT programme, with more on the debate between CBT and analytic approaches o includes more on dreaming and attachment theory, with added examples o includes new research studies and addresses the new field of psychosocial studies. This down-to-earth guide provides the ideal `way-in' to the subject for new trainees. For anyone thinking of becoming a psychoanalyst, the book also provides information on the training process and the structure of the profession.

Three circuits of ditches comprise the Windmill Hill enclosure, which was re-examined in 1988 as part of wider research into the area's Neolithic sequence and environment, and the context in which monuments were built, used and abandoned. Detailed results are set out by category and theme, and abundant environmental evidence is presented covering soils, land snails, plant remains, charcoals, pollen, amphibian and small mammal remains. This volume advances many theories on the enclosure's symbolism: inclusion and exclusion, the relationship between culture and nature or between people and their surroundings. The authors suggest that the monument drew on the memory of the past and may itself have been a metaphor for time. Deposits reveal a wide range of use including subsistence, eating, drinking, perhaps feasting, alliance, exchange, death and expression of gender roles. The later history of the enclosure, in the later Neolithic and Early Bronze Age, is also considered.

“A thoroughly enjoyable fact-filled romp . . . a must-read for any fan of the Carry On films.” —Daily Mail The completely updated story of Carry On, Britain’s largest film franchise, all the way from the gentle capers of the 1950s, through the raucous golden age of the 1960s, to its struggles in the decades that followed. We take a happy walk down memory lane to enjoy again Sid James’s cheeky chuckle, Kenneth Williams’ elongated vowels, Charles Hawtrey’s bespectacled bashfulness and Barbara Windsor’s naughty wiggle. It all seemed effortless, but exclusive interviews with the series’ remaining stars including Bernard Cribbins, Angela Douglas and Kenneth Cope shed new light on just how much talent and hard work went into creating the laughs. For the first time, the loved ones of some of the franchise’s biggest names—on and off screen—share their personal memories from this unique era. Was Carry On really as sexist, racist and bigoted as critics claim? Three of the films’ female stars explain why they never felt remotely exploited, plus we take a fresh look at some of the series’ biggest titles and discover that, in reality, they were far more progressive than their detractors would have you believe. Finally, with constant talk about new films, fresh productions and tantalizing speculation about a brand new era of Carry On, we ask—does this unique series still have legs? “Fascinating.” —Adrian Chiles “Essential reading for fans of the Carry On Films, which were deceptively ahead of their times” —Tracy-Ann Oberman

Although youth mental health providers often target a broad range of youth, family, and contextual concerns, outcome measurement has typically been limited to youth symptoms and functioning. Parent and family outcomes have been assessed in several controlled child psychotherapy trials, but in few adolescent trials, particularly among adolescents receiving "real-world" community-based care. This study addresses this gap by examining parent and family outcomes in 170 families of male and female adolescents (ages 11 to 18) receiving publicly-funded outpatient mental health treatment in San Diego County. Associations between adolescent, parent, and family outcomes are examined, as well as treatment characteristics that predict outcomes. High levels of parent and family problems were observed at both youth treatment entry and 6-month follow-up. For example, 60% of parents' intake CES-D scores reflected depression symptoms in the clinical range, improving to only 51% at follow-up. Significant improvements were observed in caregiver strain and parent-reported family relationship quality, but not in parental depression, perceived social support, or adolescent-reported family relationship quality. Parent and family changes were correlated with adolescent changes, with the strongest association between reduction of adolescent externalizing problems and reductions in parental strain and depression. Therapist endorsement of family systems theoretical orientation predicted greater reduction of parental strain. Better parent-therapist alliance was associated with better parental depression, strain and family relationship outcomes. Other treatment characteristics (number of sessions, type of treatment goals, parental expectations) did not predict parent or family outcomes. These findings evidence the high level of distress among parents and families of adolescents receiving community-based mental health treatment and indicate that significant but moderate improvements in family contextual concerns occur during the course of youth treatment. Increased attention to family concerns may be critical for improving the effectiveness of "real world" youth mental health treatment, in order to create more stable family environments in which youths' therapeutic gains can be fostered and maintained.
