Book Description
A half-century of psychotherapy research has shown that the quality of the therapeutic alliance is the most robust predictor of treatment success. This unique book provides a systematic framework for negotiating ruptures and strains in the therapeutic alliance and transforming them into therapeutic breakthroughs. Cutting-edge developments in psychoanalysis and other modalities are synthesized with original research and clinical wisdom gleaned from years of work in the field. The result is a practical and highly sophisticated guide that spells out clear principles of intervention while at the same time inspiring therapists toward greater creativity.

This book is a real gem!.......2006-06-15
This book is a real gem! The authors, who are both highly respected clinicians and researchers have produced something truly unique here. At one level it's a systematic guide to dealing with therapeutic impasses. Any therapist concerned with issues such as patient resistance, transference and countertransference, working with hard to reach patients, patient anger and hostility, and so on, will find this book invaluable. At another level, this book provides a remarkable review of cutting-edge developments in contemporary psychoanalysis and spells out their clinical implications in a clear and precise fashion. Anyone who is interested in finding out what's happening in relational psychoanalysis (perhaps the most important development in psychoanalytic theory and practice to emerge in this generation), will find this to be one of the clearest and most coherent expositions available. And finally, this is the only book I know of that focuses extensively on the role of MINDFULNESS PRACTICE in the training of therapists.
Readers who appreciate this book will also be interested in the authors' training DVD "RESOLVING THERAPEUTIC IMPASSES" which is available on Amazon.com.
One of the best "how-to books" on what works in therapy!.......2005-01-29
I am a practising pshychologist and I've read numerous books on "transference", "counter transference" and the "therapeutic alliance" (everything from Freud to modern theorists) but nothing comes close to this book: It's very informative, higly structured and precise. It has tremendous practical value for all therapists (regardless of theraputic orientation, though it might even be of "extra value" to the CBT-therapist) especially if you "get stuck" when treating a patient or if you're treating "personality disordered" patients. Good balance between theory and case examples. Also of great help if you're a therapy supervisor!
Book Description
Offers realistic violence prevention techniques to human resource personnel, front line workers who regularly deal with the public, and anyone who wants to learn practical methods to prevent aggression in schools, on the streets, and in other public places.

Practical guide to understanding and handling aggression.......2007-08-19
Much has been written about violence very little of which is useful for the average person at the moment when it erupts. This helpful book does an admirable job at closing the gap.
Real life scenarios explain in detail how an aggressive encounter works. Each scenario is presented twice: Once how a well-intentioned but unprepared person might (mis)handle it and then an improved version.
My favorite example is a receptionist handling a client who tries to bully his way through in order to see his layer. The scenario shows which options the receptionists realistically has (the power to leave and to help) and how he can communicate them verbally ("Your layer requested not to be disturbed in her present meeting. But I may be able to get you in, if you are willing to wait.") and nonverbally (By standing up and stepping back he says "I may leave" when the client comes to close to him).
The scenario shows how aggressors test boundaries before they attack in order to gauge the targets reaction (testing rituals). I have noticed this most disturbing behavior in real life on various occasions. This is the first place I found practical advice on it. The reason seems to be the author's particular background: he watched his father, a barkeeper, handling aggressive clients and he and his friends where targets of violence as children which prompted him to analyse the situation. Later, he studied psychology and was a member of the "Guardian Angels" patrol.
Many thanks to Shawn Smith for writing this outstanding book.
A lesson for one and all.......2005-05-06
This book speaks to those from all walks of life. Those with no prior experience handling violence and those who spend a lifetime in aggressive situations. From the lay person to the experienced law enforcement officer there are lessons that can be learned here.
The content is clear and concise. The techniques are time tested and true. When push comes to shove, this is the book you will have wanted to have read!
Personal guide to avoiding conflict.......2004-04-17
Smith's book is a great reminder that violence is everywhere and it can happen to anyone. It is a brilliant tool book to avoiding and dealing with conflict. It lays out ground rules of how to act and react to conflict. It also gives an idea of what type of people start conflicts and why they do. Personally I found the book to be very interesting because Smith uses real life scenarios that anyone can relate to. Surviving Aggressive People is a great book for anyone in the workplace, for parents, teachers, and anyone else who wants to be street savvy.
Foreward Magazine.......2004-04-14
"Smith uses apt anecdotes and a narrative style that keeps the reader eager, awake, and open to turning old saws into new tools of conflict resolution. This book will earn a place with the all-too-few great practical writings on preventing and managing aggression in many contexts." -Foreword Magazine

The human side of workplace violence.......2000-06-05
Baron's book gives the reader a comprehensive review of the human side of workplace violence in an easy-reading format. The first few chapters review a variety of national incidents and how the events affected victims, friends, relatives, co-workers, and the organizations where the violent incidents took place. Perhaps the most helpful part of Baron's book is his inclusion of Maslow's hierarchy which helps the reader to understand why some people behave in threatening or violent ways. The second half of the book covers prevention, hiring practices, training, and how to change employee behaviors to prevent violence. This is a great book to keep in your reference library or for use as a refresher when faced with an employee who shows signs of potential violence or uncivil behavior.

Help for us all.......2003-07-11
"HUMAN RESOURCES PROFESSIONALS AND IN-HOUSE COUNSEL SHOULD UTTER A COLLECTIVE SIGH OF RELIEF. Drs. James Turner and Michael Gelles have parlayed their vast years of experience with-and extensive study of-workplace violence into A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE aptly named Threat Assessment. For those on the front line in the workplace who know that the statistical odds are high that they will be forced to deal with a threat or incident of violence, this unique book METHODICALLY LAYS OUT THE ISSUES, THE ANALYSES AND THE POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS. The case studies-based on thousands of actual cases on which Drs. Turner and Gelles consulted-are INSTRUCTIVE AND INVALUABLE. No longer does a human resources professional have to freeze, not knowing whether s/he is facing a grave threat or simply a bluffing bully. Like conducting regular disaster or fire drills, reading this book PROVIDES THE PREPARATION ONE NEEDS to calmly but rapidly access the threat, implement the Crisis Management Plan and, hopefully, avoid catastrophe."
Book Description
Almost every week reports of violence erupting in the workplace make headlines. Contrary to popular opinion, such incidents are not random and senseless but, according to Richard V. Denenberg and Mark Braverman, typically result from conflict that has been allowed to fester. Combining the insights of both crisis management and dispute resolution, their book presents a comprehensive look at the problem of violence on the job, including ways of preventing it.
Rather than focusing on the supposedly "lethal" or dysfunctional employee as the source of danger, Denenberg and Braverman point to the dysfunctional workplace as the problem. They describe underlying factors in the workplace which can foster extreme behavior and prevent an effective response. Calling for early intervention in situations that could result in violence, the authors suggest specific techniques for reducing the risk that an office, plant, or school will suffer crises arising from threats or a climate of hostility.
At the heart of the book are fourteen vivid examples of real-life incidents involving violence, a threat of violence, or a perception that such a threat was made. They include instances in which domestic violence spilled over into the workplace, difficulties caused by racial and ethnic tension, and explosive behavior in response to common workplace occurrences such as downsizing or a change in corporate culture. Each example is followed by an analysis of the response to the actual or potential danger, indicating where mistakes were made because of poor information, bad judgment, absence of a clear policy, lack of consensus, or even irrational fear.
An extensive appendix provides government guidelines and sample policies intended to serve as templates for violence-prevention plans. Both the examples and sample policies allow organizations to benefit from the experience of others and avoid common mistakes.

Book Description
In this exploration of new possibilities for the reduction of workplace violence and occupational homicide within a variety of work environments, Kelleher examines the crimes of the lethal employee or ex-employee and develops a profile of characteristics and behaviors often associated with workplace violence or murder. This profile, in turn, can be used to recognize the potential violence before it occurs, allowing employers to devise early and effective intervention strategies. The author develops the profile of the potentially lethal employee through behavioral science models and an analysis of case histories of incidents of occupational homicide.
