Ups and Downs
A book for kids about big feelings
By Karen Young, Norvile Dovidonyte
All feelings are important - the magical, the messy, and the in-between. Sometimes though, big feelings can have us behaving in ways that aren’t so, let’s say... shiny. This happens to all of us. The younger people understand how and why, the more they can build the capacity to feel their feelings and manage them in positive ways. ‘Ups and Downs’ draw on Polyvagal Theory, a widely accepted neuroscientific theory, to support young people to understand why they feel and do as they do, and how to do differently when they need to. Driving brains and bodies isn’t easy! It takes time, experience, and the right information, so let’s give them that.

An Occupational Therapist's Guide to Sensory Integration and Adult Mental Health
By Rebecca Matson
An evidence-based reference manual for occupational therapists on implementing sensory integration in mental health settings.
Gaining knowledge of sensory integration is key for any occupational therapist to better understand and support those they work with. In mental health settings, sensory approaches have been shown to aid de-escalation, promote development of healthy coping strategies, and decrease restrictive practice. However, there are a lack of resources available for adult patients, and many practitioners find it difficult to adapt existing paediatric guidelines.
This book provides a reference manual for occupational therapists working in mental health and aiming to use a range of sensory approaches with adult patients. Structured according to diagnostic group and area of mental health, each chapter distils the relevant evidence and literature, commonly identified areas of sensory processing difficulty, ideas and approaches for that client group, and additional considerations in view of risk and health status.
Occupational therapists will also benefit from the additional downloadable content available, including sensory strategy group plans, support plans, sensory assessment reports, and training presentations.

A Good Practice Guide
By Sahdia Parveen, Jan Oyebode
How to meet the needs of people and their families from diverse ethnicities living with dementia.
Over 25,000 older people from minority ethnic backgrounds live with dementia in the UK.

Our modern society is wonderfully diverse with a range of cultures and ethnicities, with their own traditions, languages, and religions.
When dealing with the challenges of dementia, individuals, their families, and communities from minority ethnic backgrounds-must be provided with appropriate advice, care, and support.
Drawing on the evidence base, as well as personal and professional experience, chapters cover stigma surrounding the disease, promoting dementia awareness, risk factors for developing dementia, and much more.
With an account of key issues and needs for people from minority ethnic communities at each stage of life with dementia, readers are given practical examples of culturally sensitive support, services, and interventions.

Narrative Therapy and Older People
Challenging Stigma, Supporting Connection and Building Hope
By Rosslyn Offord, Polly Kaiser, Elizabeth Field, Rebecca Scullion, Sara Banks
Healthcare for older people tends to focus on physical limitations and cognitive decline, and the person's own perspective and strengths are often overlooked.
Narrative therapy centres a person as the expert in their own story and is particularly effective when combined with an older person's wealth of life experience. It highlights the way their views have been shaped by their cultural and personal contexts, which allows better understanding and communication, and improves people's lives.
Written by experienced psychologists, group facilitators and service users, this guide explores how to use narrative therapy with older people, including those with dementia or age-related conditions. From Tree of Life facilitation to ways of approaching loss and trauma, each chapter offers advice and proven strategies for practice for individuals, staff teams, groups and communities. This book helps you to adopt a person-centred approach to narrative therapy that helps service users to lead the life they want to live.
Where ageism and stigma often overwhelm older people and those who work with them, narrative therapy brings the focus back onto the person themselves, in the context of their history, their family and their community - who are they, and what do they have to say?

Could I Really Be Autistic?
Your First Steps to Self-Discovery
By Sarah Hendrickx, Jess Hendrickx
Perhaps a child in your family has been diagnosed as autistic, your therapist has suggested it, or people you know have called you 'Rain Man' throughout your life. Whatever the reason, here you are, either seeking to confirm or dispel the idea that you might be autistic. Written by two experts in autism assessment, this is a pathway for you to explore the likelihood of meeting the diagnostic threshold for autism, while offering advice on possible next steps. With guidance on ways autism can manifest in day-to-day life, factors that prompt people to wrongly dismiss the label (I'm too old/clever/social/ married!), commonly co-occurring conditions, and alternative explanations for autistic traits - this will help you decide whether a professional assessment is appropriate.
