This textbook presents a critical overview of the main theoretical perspectives relevant to mental health practice and argues that no one theory provides a comprehensive framework for practice. By examining traditional models of mental health, as well as new, it challenges some of the accepted views in the field and illustrates the importance of recognising the contribution, strengths and limitations of the range of different ideas. With new chapters on intersectional and environmental perspectives as well as an expanded focus on LGBTQIA+ and trauma-informed models, this new edition has been updated throughout to reflect contemporary issues and new research. Part of the Foundations Of Mental Health Practice series, this is indispensable reading for anyone studying or working in mental health.

A show and tell-all about the erotic and sometimes tender world of kinky sex, swinging, and polyamory. With a distinctly female perspective, the authors weave psychology, fiction and personal insights bringing this little-known world alive. You'll leave a little hot, a little bothered and a little smarter about why your sexual imagination is not monogamous even if you are. This fantasy companion, meant for couples to share and read together, will answer your questions about how and why loving couples open their otherwise conventional relationship to sexual adventure with others, and the fictional stories will stir your erotic imagination long after the last page has been turned. Lisa, an experienced psychotherapist, will shine a keen and clever psychological light on this world covering all the pertinent topics from flirting and jealousy to the appeal of group sex, while Jim shows how it is done in real time and hot action.
