The Tears That Made the Clyde

Carol Craig

Carol Craig subjects Glasgow's post-industrial image of itself as 'Scotland with style' to a long-overdue and honest scrutiny. The city's motto rings out 'Let Glasgow Flourish' yet this book powerfully shows that many citizens languish as a result of mental ill health, illness, deprivation, worklessness, gangs, drink and family breakdown. The book's particular blend of history, politics, literature, sociology and psychology changes forever the way we see the city. Foreword by Professor Tom Devine and Afterword by Professor Phil Hanlon.

CBT self-help materials are increasingly being offered to help people tackle problems such as anxiety and depression. Research has shown that people using this type of approach do far better if they receive supportive encouragement and monitoring from a practitioner. To date few courses or manuals have addressed how to best offer this support. Written by a practitioner with over 10 years experience in introducing CBT self-help into services, and in training practitioners in this way of working the books distill the key elements of working this using the familiar and popular five areas model.

The Scots’ Crisis of Confidence

The Scots’ Crisis of Confidence book cover
Carol Craig

How do the Scots see the world?

Why do they often lack confidence in themselves or their country? And why do they often find it so easy to be negative and critical? These are some of the themes Carol Craig explores in The Scots’ Crisis of Confidence. This is a bold, intelligent and important book: it offers a refreshingly different analysis of the big themes in Scottish culture, defines for the first time what it really means to be Scottish and spells out the type of thinking now required if Scotland is to become a vibrant, confident country.
