Adoption and Surrogate Pregnancy
Adoption and surrogate pregnancy are the two most realistic options currently available for millions of couples unable to have biological children. In the past decade, international adoption has become popular among those who wish to avoid the wait associated with adopting domestically.

A Guide to Psychological Debriefing
Frequently, people suffering trauma cannot get past the experience and develop Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Psychological debriefing (PD) is a process commonly used to prevent an individual from developing PTSD, allowing them to re-examine the event in a safe and controlled environment. This book offers a practical introduction to PTSD and psychological debriefing, and outlines an enhanced model of PD: 'Emotional Decompression'. Structured like a deep-sea dive, it incorporates carefully planned safety stops for discussion and explanation on the way back to the 'surface' to avoid getting 'the bends'. The book presents a range of recovery models, from the 'simple' models developed by Williams and Horowitz to the more complex 'Snakes and Ladders' model developed by the author. A Guide to Psychological Debriefing is a book for health practitioners, counsellors, psychologists and professionals working with clients suffering from PTSD, as well as students.

Social Work, the Media and Public Relations (Routledge Revivals)
Over the past few decades, relationships between social workers and the media have become increasingly challenging. Social workers feel aggrieved by media reporting of their profession and believe that journalists lack sufficient knowledge and experience of the social services to report matters adequately and sensitively, whilst some journalists have urged social workers to adopt a more proactive public relations strategy. This book, first published in 1991, analyses the causes and consequences of the negative portrayal of social work within the media and considers various ways in which this image might be improved. The authors consider a variety of developments during the 1990s designed to redress imbalances in media reporting and present a more accurate picture of social workers and the people with whom they work. This title remains very relevant in light of the high profile cases related to the social service that continue to feature in the British press, and will be of particular value to students and researchers with an interest in the relationship between the media and social policy.
