  Integral Psychotherapy: Inside Out/Outside In

  Elliott R. Ingersoll and David M. Zeitler

  Introduces Integral Psychotherapy to scholars, practicing psychotherapists, and general readers. In Integral Psychotherapy, self-help meets rigorous scholarship. Integral Psychotherapy is a dynamic framework for understanding the mind and uniting spirituality and psychotherapy. Authors R. Elliott Ingersoll and David M. Zeitler use Ken Wilber's Integral Model to guide readers through a startling new view of psychotherapy as a spiritual journey of self-discovery. This is the first book that grounds the Integral approach in mainstream research while showing how Integral Psychotherapy treats body, mind, and spirit, and it offers an accurate history of many psychological ideas (some mistaken) prevalent in our society. Integral Psychotherapy debunks the fads and fashions of self-help gurus while mapping terrain readers can use to bring their lives into focus. With humor and compassion, the authors show that the life of the mind is complex and complexity is our friend. A Guide to Integral Psychotherapy ... [and] Integral Psychotherapy ... are a magnificent bridge between clinical practice, current academic psychology, and the expansive, liberating world of integral epistemology ... [they] do not shy away from the difficult task of introducing Integral Theory in general, Integral Psychology in particular, and Integral Psychotherapy as a primary focus. They lead the reader through progressively deeper levels of understanding and possibilities, sourcing their points in Wilber's work and current/past psychological perspectives." Journal of Integral Theory and Practice There is much to like about the text. The authors write with conviction, clarity, and humor. The book as a whole, as well as each of the individual chapters, features an upfront summary of the content that follows ... The authors also stay true to the heart of integral theory and write this ambitious work with consistent attention to inclusivism, which embraces topics of spiritual development and transformation."-PsycCRITIQUES "...a wonderful addition to the integral field ... I hope that we will see more books from these authors, both of whom are the next generation of integral leaders."-William Harryman, Integral Options This is the most comprehensive book on Integral Psychotherapy to date. Wonderfully balanced between critical thinking and practical instruction, and interspersed with good doses of humor, it simultaneously serves as both an introduction to those new to this complex yet parsimonious system while also critically delving into its many intricacies for those who are already familiar with Integral Theory. Highly recommended."-Andre Marquis, author of The Integral Intake: A Guide to Comprehensive Idiographic Assessment in Integral Psychotherapy

  The Duty to Protect: Ethical, Legal, and Professional Considerations for Mental Health Professionals

  James L. Werth, Elizabeth R. Welfel, and G. Andrew H. Benjamin

  Psychologists and other mental health professionals rightfully experience significant anxiety regarding their duty to protect when working with potentially dangerous individuals who are at risk of harming others or themselves. In fact, a recent study suggests that 75% are misinformed about their legal duties to such clients. The Duty to Protect dispels myths and provides clinicians, supervisors, and trainers with a comprehensive resource addressing the situations where a duty to protect may apply. The duty itself is defined and described, as are risk assessment steps and interventions to reduce risk. The chapters are written by leading scientist-practitioners to promote best practices in some of the most ethically and legally challenging areas encountered by practitioners. They discuss the legal and ethical foundations of the duty to protect and the duty to warn; professional ethics codes in the U.S. and internationally; risk assessment to others in cases involving threats of homicide, intimate partner violence, stalking, the transfer of communicable diseases, and impairment while operating heavy machinery or motor vehicles. Threats of harm to the self are also discussed in chapters that address suicide, self-injury, and end-of-life issues. This book is a comprehensive resource that will assist readers in understanding their options and obligations and therefore improve the care they provide in some of the most stressful and potentially dangerous situations faced by mental health providers.
