"One Road to Peace" is designed as a practice guide to lead the counsellor working with men who are violent towards their partners through the specifics of the counselling process. The authors instruct the reader in particular clinical skills, strategies and programme content, present a group treatment programme as the treatment of choice, describe individual assessment and counselling, examine current theory and research and identify the most salient factors in understanding men who assault their partners. Preparatory work, such as assessment prior to entering a programme, is explained in detail; crisis intervention work is examined. After a focus on group therapy and a detailed treatment manual, the authors explore the personal and interpersonal effects of working with violent men.

The study of altered states of consciousness and mental health is a relatively young but evolving field which has attracted the attention of psychologists, psychiatrists and anthropologists. The current book attempts to present and share various perspectives on altered states of consciousness and placing them within the boundaries of cross-cultural psychology. The first of four major parts in the volume considers important theoretical and methodological issues in the study of altered states of consciousness; the second and third parts link altered states of consciousness and mental health by focusing on both its therapeutic and pathological aspects. The final section concentrates on models highlighting a variety of paradigms and diverse methodological approaches, thus providing basis for a framework for the study of altered states of consciousness and mental health.
