Hunger for Understanding: A Workbook for helping young people to understand and overcome anorexia nervosa

Wiley publishing house has over the years published several good books on eating disorders and especially anorexia nervosa. Alison Eivors, a clinical psychologist working in mental health services in Leicester, and Sophie Nesbitt, also a clinical psychologist, have produced a wonderful workbook as a therapeutic tool for work with young people referred with eating disorders.
"Hunger for understanding" should be used by mental health professionals working with adolescents (11-16 years old as the target group) with anorexia nervosa as one of the toolboxes in the intervention and treatment. All the resources are available on the Wiley website ([...]) and can be used in clinical sessions.
This book has four sections to explain the workbook: The purpose, psychological interventions, therapeutic challenges and discussion of the contents of the workbook, which fills the first 32 pages. The workbook in itself is in eleven sections with many work tasks for the adolescent to perform.
This is an important tool for the therapist and not a book for the patient to read alone, but rather to work together through the intervention process.

Staying Well After Psychosis: A Cognitive Interpersonal Approach to Recovery and Relapse Prevention [Hardcover]

Rating: (1 reviews)
Author: Andrew Gumley
ISBN : 9780470021842
Buy New from $77.97

"Staying Well After Psychosis is extremely readable, based on solid research evidence and packed full of clinical insights and strategies that will satisfy any clinician seeking innovative approaches to the promotion of recovery from psychosis."
—Anthony P. Morrison, Professor of Clinical Psychology, University of Manchester, UK

Over the past decade our understanding of the experience of psychosis has changed dramatically. As part of this change, a range of psychological models of psychosis and associated interventions have developed.

Staying Well After Psychosis presents an individually based psychological intervention targeting emotional recovery and relapse prevention. This approach considers the cognitive, interpersonal and developmental aspects involved in recovery and vulnerability to the recurrence of psychosis.

Andrew Gumley and Matthias Schwannauer provide a framework for recovery and staying well that focuses on emotional and interpersonal adaptation to psychosis. This practical manual covers, in detail, all aspects of the therapeutic process of Cognitive Interpersonal Therapy, including:

• Taking a developmental perspective on help seeking and affect regulation.
• Supporting self-reorganisation and adaptation after acute psychosis.
• Understanding and treating traumatic reactions to psychosis.
• Working with humiliation, entrapment, loss and fear of recurrence appraisals during recovery.
• Working with cognitive interpersonal schemata.
• Developing coping in an interpersonal context.

Clinical psychologists, psychiatrists and mental health professionals will find this innovative treatment manual to be a valuable resource in their work with adults and adolescents. This book will also be of interest to lecturers and students of clinical psychology and mental health.

Index. 

So few books are out there for families with loved ones who have suffered a psychotic episode, that I started with this book out of desperation. It was a very difficult read for the lay person, but I did come away with some valuable statistics, and at least a general idea of what our family is up against.

I learned the probabilities of relapse; the signs of illness and impending relapse; and I learned what patients and their families often feel and experience as a result of psychosis. It did help me think compassionately towards myself as I have been very overwhelmed and depressed as a primary care provider for an elderly sufferer with late- life onset (first episode).

The book was written by psychiatrists practicing in the UK. The language is not only very clinical, but a bit foreign to this American reader. The book does talk about cognitive treatment strategies for patients, but it was so difficult to read that as a lay person I didn't gain a whole lot from those sections of the book.

I rated it five star for its well documented research content and statistical information. However, I do feel the title should have included "Clinician's Guide / Handbook," or something like that, rather than seeming to appeal to the sufferer. At no point in the book does it even talk to the sufferer directly.
