Essential approaches to clinical practice for today’s out-of-office world. Future psychotherapy is not confined to the office: it can be online, virtual, wellness-oriented, flexible, racially conscious, and in service of public wellness. COVID-19 has forever changed the landscape of psychotherapy in these ways, and in ways we have yet to discover. Practicing psychologist Chanté D. DeLoach invites readers to reflect on the state of psychotherapy and emerging potentialities forged through crisis. She presents key concepts of telemental health, concierge therapy, and other out-of-office approaches to psychological well-being. DeLoach provides step-by-step guidance on getting started in telemental health, and points to clinical, ethical, and legal considerations for clinicians working in a digital space and other nontraditional formations. Topics covered include: how to screen clients for the appropriateness of teletherapy; the required equipment and infrastructure, demystifying the different online platforms; ways to set up a warm and inviting online office, and legal and ethical issues of remote therapy. It also considers business and practice management issues such as what to include in an informed consent for teletherapy. Important discussions of race, intersectionality, and justice in teletherapy round out the book. Readers will be invited to critically reflect on their own identities and comfort in integrating the challenging issues of race, power, and privilege in clinical work. Through interwoven examples and reflective exercises, Dr. DeLoach provides tools to support practitioners as they reimagine their clinical identities to meet the needs of today’s clients. This book offers keen insights and learning for all clinicians, from trainees to seasoned practitioners, who are embarking on this new terrain.

Literary Nonfiction. Art. Expressing the freshness of each moment as it arises, THE ARTE OF NOW: PRACTICE OF IMMEDIACY IN THE ARTS(R) (PIA) is a technique that allows life to guide you in creating art. As opposed to operating from a conceptual place, discover how the boundless space of now offers everything needed to create dynamic and intimate works of art. This book is filled with practical advice and numerous examples of the practice in play. There is no need to wait for inspiration or to endure creative blocks: it's all right here, right now "Why are we so afraid to paint on a blank surface? Because it elicits so many uncertain emotions of success, failure and potential rejection. But as young children we never gave painting a second thought because we did not label our lack of knowing as good or bad; rather, our uncertainty was an adventure. In THE ARTE OF NOW: PRACTICE OF IMMEDIACY IN THE ARTS(R) (PIA), Nicolee McMahon has provided a wonderfully pragmatic way to rediscover our inner childlike, non-judgmental artist/explorer selves by fusing Zen 'nowness' teachings with the basics of art. Whichever art field you are in, whether an amateur or a professional, this book will help you work more freely and effectively." --Ken Goldman "Nicolee McMahon offers us a mature integration and mastery of spiritual practice and creative expression. Grounded in years of Zen practice, she presents a simple yet dynamic approach to unleashing creativity by accessing openness, not leaving anything out, and living in the moment. PIA will appeal to a broad range of people, from novices curious about their own creativity to those already adept at creative expression." --Wendy Egyoku Nakao Roshi
The keys to self-knowledge and deep contentment are right here before us in this very moment—if we can simply learn to live with open awareness. In The Unfolding Now, A. H. Almaas presents a marvelously effective practice for developing the transformative quality of presence. Through a particular method of self-observation and contemplative exploration that he calls inquiry, we learn to live in the relaxed condition of simply "being ourselves," without interference from feelings of inadequacy, drivenness toward goals, struggling to figure things out, and rejecting experiences we don't want. Almaas explores the many obstacles that keep us from being present—including defensiveness, ignorance, desire, aggression, and self-hatred—and shows us how to welcome with curiosity and compassion whatever we are experiencing.
