As part of their Rule, members of the Iona Community are committed to ‘working for justice and peace, wholeness and reconciliation in our localities, society and the whole creation’.    This book of personal stories explores how members of the Community live out this commitment in their lives and tells of extraordinary actions from ordinary folk as they campaign, offer hospitality and stand alongside those on the margins of society.    Susan Dale has a doctorate in education, specialising in narrative and life story research, and has worked as a psychotherapist, spiritual accompanier, researcher and writer for the last 20 years.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49610052075793,"sku":"GOR012339742","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1849527423.jpg?v=1751378871"},{"product_id":"trauma-informed-therapy-book-susan-dale-9781915220417","title":"Trauma-Informed Therapy","description":"'Trauma-informed' has become a buzzword in the counselling and psychotherapy arena and the wider worlds of health and social care research and practice.  But what does it mean in relation to practitioners' day-to-day work with clients? Susan Dale argues that all therapeutic work should put the client's needs, not the therapeutic model, at the heart of the process. Here she describes how she shapes her own collaborative narrative approach to work with people who have experienced trauma, whether from childhood abuse and neglect, violence, combat or other circumstances. Drawing on the literature and the first-hand accounts of trauma-experienced co-researchers, Dale weaves a narrative that demonstrates trauma-informed practice and its impact in the real-life therapy room. She includes approaches that are not formally badged as 'trauma therapies' as well as recognised models such as EMDR to demonstrate how such an approach, applied collaboratively and with acute sensitivity to the needs of the individual client, can make a lasting difference to people striving to rebuild lives that have been shattered by trauma.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49751158882577,"sku":"NGR9781915220417","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50154764960017,"sku":"GOR013873650","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1915220416.jpg?v=1751186956"},{"product_id":"threads-of-hope-book-susan-dale-9781443887328","title":"Threads of Hope","description":"On 1st October 2012, April Jones, aged 5, was abducted from outside her home in the small Welsh market town of Machynlleth. This led to the largest police search operation of its kind ever conducted in the UK, and a subsequent murder investigation and trial which was scrutinised by the international media.This book uses a collaborative narrative research process to explore the lived experiences of one specific group of community members who responded to this event by setting up, and running, a therapeutic project to support the community between 2012 and 2014.The author weaves together threads of the story taken from her own ethnographic journal, and co-researcher accounts, together with community updates taken from press releases and academic theory, to create an evocative narrative account that will enable readers to understand what it may be like to be involved in a therapeutic project of this kind. The book highlights some of the challenges and offers suggestions for community leaders, therapeutic practitioners and critical incident planners who may be considering setting up support in response to community trauma.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50302363926801,"sku":"GOR013918857","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1443887323.jpg?v=1763226238"},{"product_id":"simply-southern-cooking-with-susan-dale-book-susan-dale-9780977762361","title":"Simply Southern Cooking with Susan Dale","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50480870850833,"sku":"CIN097776236XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50763642765585,"sku":"CIN097776236XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/097776236X.jpg?v=1751299549"},{"product_id":"where-angels-fear-to-tread-book-susan-dale-9781443820707","title":"Where Angels Fear to Tread","description":"Where Angels Fear to Tread highlights some of the ethical and emotional challenges which arise for counsellors when their clients’ thoughts and behaviours become suicidal. It gives insight into how people can, and do, use suicide as a way of coping with overwhelming emotional pain, and the tension this creates in the balance between the ethical guidelines the counselling profession has adopted to protect clients against malpractice (and protect counsellors against litigation) and the needs and viewpoint of the client.The book also shows a dynamic narrative research methodology in action. There has been a deliberate move away from the traditional “expert” and “subject” positions predominating research, and priority given to the telling of previously marginalised stories in ways that are evocative, congruent with the therapeutic endeavour. The research process is shown as a social construction of lived experience that navigates the borders between narrative research and narrative therapy conveying a distinctive perspective on both the subject matter and the dynamics of both therapeutic and research relationships.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51147391467793,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51147395039505,"sku":"GOR014186112","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1443820709.jpg?v=1750826441"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-susan-dale.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
