Therapeutic landscapes uniquely brings together historical and contemporary debates on the use of the garden as a therapeutic space. Hickman narrates the story of the landscapes associated with psychiatric, general and specialist medical institutions and asks what did they look like, how were they used and how did this relate to medical concepts? It traces the history of these gardens from the grottos, Chinese galleries and summer houses of elite nineteenth-century lunatic asylums, through Florence Nightingale's championing of the Victorian pavilion hospital design with its courtyard gardens, and the open-air institutions of the Edwardian period with their revolving chalets. It concludes with a discussion of new hospital gardens being created by designers such as Dan Pearson in the twenty-first century. This book will be essential reading for those interested in the histories of place, space and material culture, and in particular medical historians, garden historians and historical geographers. ;

Schema therapy is an important further development of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for patients with personality disorders and other chronic mental health problems. In studies, work with the schema mode approach in particular has been shown to be highly effective. In the updated edition of this book, which in particular also reports current findings on the evidence, treatment with the mode model is presented in a practical manner. Numerous case examples illustrate the therapeutic approach. After an introduction to the core concepts of schema therapy, diagnostic and case conceptualization are addressed. Subsequently, the therapeutic procedure for each mode type is explained. Important emphasis is placed on the therapeutic relationship, which is conceptualized as a limited reparenting, and emotion-focusing techniques, such as chair dialogues and imaginative techniques. In these two respects, schema therapy differs particularly from classical CBT. Typical pitfalls and problems in schema therapy as well as possible variations of the approach are also described. Thus, the book offers a compact presentation of work with the schema approach to personality disorders.
