Book on Empathy
Greet Vanaerschot published the book 'Empathie' in 2016.
Without empathy there is no good therapeutic relationship. And without a good alliance between patient and therapist no optimal treatment result. Yet for the training to become a psychiatrist or psychotherapist students are not selected for their empathic ability. For those who have talent for it, that is no issue. For everyone else there is this textbook. 'Empathy – the secret weapon of psychiatrists and psychotherapists' provides tools for the effective application of empathy. It highlights empathy from different angles, showing how empathy can work in different settings.

New book on Forensic Psychiatry and Psychology in Europe
Author: Kris Goethals
This study guide aims to make European trainees in forensic psychiatry and psychology and young forensic psychiatrists and psychologists aware of the differences and commonalities in forensic psychiatry and psychology in different countries within Europe and to enable them to learn from the approaches adopted in each country. The guide is divided into five main sections that address legal frameworks, service provision and frameworks, mandatory skills, teaching and training in forensic psychiatry and psychology, and capita selecta. In addition, recommendations are made with respect to the practice of teaching and training across European countries. It is anticipated that the guide will provide an excellent means of improving specific skills and that, by learning about the offender/patient pathways in the different jurisdictions of Europe, the reader will gain a deeper understanding of the principles that govern methods and practices in their own work with mentally disordered offenders.
