Synopsis

Study Environment Design explores how our physical surroundings profoundly impact learning and memory, arguing that learning environments actively shape cognitive performance and emotional well-being. It examines how specific environmental factors, such as sensory stimulation and spatial cognition, influence attention, memory, and motivation. The book highlights the impact of natural light and ventilation on alertness, as well as the importance of flexible spaces in promoting engagement.

The book uniquely combines environmental psychology with educational settings, advocating for evidence-based strategies in classroom design. Presenting both quantitative and qualitative data, including statistical analyses and observational studies, the book emphasizes participatory design, involving students and educators in creating optimal learning spaces.

By drawing connections to architecture, neuroscience, and educational psychology, it offers a holistic understanding of learning environments. Beginning with the principles of environmental psychology, the book progresses to examining specific design elements like lighting, acoustics, and layout. It then explores the application of these principles across diverse educational contexts and concludes by addressing emerging trends like biophilic design and personalized learning spaces.

This approach offers practical guidance for educators, architects, and designers seeking to create more effective and engaging environments to improve educational outcomes and student well-being.

Treating Traumatic Loss - A...

PhD Jamison S. Bottomley,...

Although grief and feelings of loss after the death of a loved one are natural and universal experiences, sudden, violent, and traumatic loss puts survivors at increased risk for a range of mental health problems and greatly complicates the grieving process. The Grief Recovery with Individualized Evidence-Based Formulation (GRIEF) approach is designed specifically for treating individuals suffering from the grief that results from a traumatic death, and provides a transdiagnostic, modular, and comprehensive framework to target the common underlying symptoms of PTSD, depression, and prolonged grief disorder (PGD). 
 
 
 
Treating Traumatic Loss starts with an introduction to traumatic loss and the GRIEF approach model, then guides you, step by step, through treatment planning—from conducting a thorough assessment of symptoms informed by a multicultural lens, to selecting modules for intervention. A chapter dedicated to each of eight modules provides recommendations on how to perform intervention techniques in your practice. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), experiential, and narrative practices and strategies from both the trauma and grief fields are synthesized into one module-based approach that addresses the unique needs of your clients—providing a powerful, flexible, and individualized way to improve treatment outcomes.

Healing Hearts and Minds - A...

LCSW Tracy Livecchi, PhD Liza...

Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) is the most commonly diagnosed birth abnormality in the US. With great advances in surgery and medicine, however, survival rates have improved by 75% since the 1940s. With better medical care, babies born today with CHD have a good chance of surviving, but throughout their entire lives they can face surgeries, invasive treatments, lifelong monitoring, frequent medical check-ups, and significant limitations on physical activity, in addition to poor public awareness. Much attention has rightly been focused on providing their parents and caretakers with resources and information. 
 
 
 
Little attention, however, has been paid to the psychosocial impacts on these individuals, especially as they grow, mature, and become adults living with a serious, chronic medical condition. Prevalence rates for anxiety, depression, and PTSD are significantly higher (2-3x in some cases) for people living with CHD than the general adult population. Liza Morton and Tracy Livecchi are both mental health professionals who have developed a specialty in working with clients who have chronic medical conditions, and they are both themselves living with CHD. While their powerful personal stories are woven into the narrative, the book is focused on providing evidence-based coping and self-care skills for adults living with CHD.
