{"product_id":"integrative-body-mind-spirit-social-work","title":"Integrative Body-Mind-Spirit Social Work","description":"\u003cp\u003eIntegrative therapy focuses on the mind-body-spirit relationship, recognizes spirituality as a fundamental domain of human existence, acknowledges and utilizes the mind's power as well as the body's, and reaches beyond self-actualization or symptom reduction to broaden a perception of self that connects individuals to a larger sense of themselves and to their communities.When it was published in 2009, Integrative Body-Mind-Spirit Social\n\u003cbr\u003eWork was the first book to strongly connect Western therapeutic techniques with Eastern philosophy and practices, while also providing a comprehensive and pragmatic agenda for social work, and mental health\n\u003cbr\u003eprofessionals. This breakthrough text, written by a cast of highly regarded researchers from both Asia and America, presented a holistic, therapeutic approach that ties Eastern philosophy and practical techniques to Western forms of therapy in order to help bring about positive, transformative changes in individuals and families. This second features a major reorganization of Part III: Applications and Treatment Effectiveness, renamed to \"Evidence-informed Translational Practice and Evidence.\"\n\u003cbr\u003eBased on systematic reviews of Integrative body-mind-spirit practices, Part III provides a \"resource guide\" of different types of integrative practices used in diverse health and mental health\n\u003cbr\u003econditions.  A new companion website includes streaming video clips showing demonstrations of the BMS techniques described in the book and worksheets and client resources\/handouts.Here, the authors provide a pragmatic, step-by-step description of assessment and treatment techniques that employ an integrative, holistic perspective. They begin by establishing the conceptual framework of integrative body-mind-spirit social work, then expertly describe, step-by-step,\n\u003cbr\u003eassessment and treatment techniques that utilize integrative and holistic perspectives. Numerous case studies demonstrate the approach in action, such as one with breast cancer patients who participated in\n\u003cbr\u003ebody-mind-spirit and social support groups and another in which trauma survivors used meditation to get onto a path of healing. These examples provide solid empirical evidence that integrative body-mind-spirit social work is indeed a practical therapeutic approach in bringing about tangible changes in clients. The authors also discuss ethical issues and give tips for learning integrative body-mind-spirit social work. Professionals in social work, psychology, counseling, and nursing, as well as\n\u003cbr\u003egraduate students in courses on integral, alternative, or complementary clinical practice will find this a much-needed resource that complements the growing interest in alternatives to traditional\n\u003cbr\u003eWestern psychotherapy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43972377477358,"sku":"9780190458515","price":132.66,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780190458515.jpg?v=1706226873","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/integrative-body-mind-spirit-social-work","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
