Counselling and Psychotherapy with Older People or Conditioning for Strength and Human Performance

Counselling and Psychotherapy with Older People: A Psychological Approach

Author: Paul Terry

This important new edition provides an in-depth understanding of counselling and psychotherapy with older people and those who care for them. Exploring the value of therapy throughout the ageing process, the book sheds light on a range of issues that confront older service users, from debilitating illness and the frustration of dependency to mourning and the long term effects of trauma.

Drawing on his extensive experience in the field, Paul Terry uses evocative case studies and humane examples to offer practical insights into individual, couple and group therapy. Thoughtful and engaging, this new edition: Demonstrates the use of therapeutic skills in brief interventions and longer therapy, Makes fundamental psychoanalytic concepts accessible to therapists and students, whatever their theoretical orientation, Highlights the importance of carers, showing how to help them to confront and prevent abusive relationships and ageism, Provides a remarkable example of reflective practice in counselling and psychotherapy, in learning from difficulties, mistakes, challenges and successes.

Substantially revised with three entirely new chapters, Counselling and Psychotherapy with Older People continues to be invaluable reading for all professional, trainees and students interested in working in this challenging and rewarding area of practice.

Conditioning for Strength and Human Performance

Author: Chandler

Written by leading experts in exercise science, this text offers everything athletic trainers need to train athletes for maximum performance and prepare for certification. Chapters review the basic science underlying strength training and conditioning and put science into practice with detailed instructions on testing,assessment, exercise techniques,program development, injury prevention,and rehabilitation. Case-based problem solving activities, case examples, real world application boxes,and other features engage readers in decision-making and hands-on training activities. More than 350 full-color illustrations complement the text. A bound-in CD-ROM offers in-the-gym lab assignments, quizzes, and a practical exam with video clips and multiple,choice questions.

Reviewer:Jessica Jo Groth, MA(Central College)
Description:This book provides a thorough look at strength and conditioning starting from the first section, which covers the basic science of training, through the end of the book with specific drills and lifts to enhance human performance. The detailed pictures, charts, and descriptions make it very reader friendly.
Purpose:The purpose is to provide the strength and conditioning field with up-to-date information from new research and to provide it in a style conducive to many learning types. It is important to stay current as new research becomes available, and these authors make it easier to achieve with this book.
Audience:The author intends this as an entry-level textbook for students in exercise science and preprofessional tracks. Coaches also may find this book valuable in developing programs for their athletes.
Features:The book begins by breaking down the basic sciences and then moves into strength, flexibility, and agility training. It also covers nutritional and safety topics. Many valuable pictures, charts, and tables as well as references for supplementary information, add to the value of the book.
Assessment:This high quality book will be a beneficial resource for those in the exercise science field and, more specifically, those who work with developing athletes. It would be good used in conjunction with Essentials of Strength and Conditioning, 2nd edition, Baechle and Earle (Human Kinetics, 2000), in preparation for the Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist exam.
