Given the fundamental challenges to society in this era, a radical rewrite of how we approach science and culture is necessary. This handbook applies Perceptual Control Theory (PCT) to achieve a much needed convergence across the physical, life and social sciences, the humanities and arts. In doing so it addresses challenges such as mental illness, dementia, cancer care, toxic masculinity and societal oppression. It also reveals how PCT can be applied to practical issues such as understanding healthcare service implementation and human-machine interaction, as well as deeper questions such as consciousness and imagination. This second volume of the successful interdisciplinary handbook offers rich examples of how the unifying perceptual control framework can provide a viable alternative to existing theories and methodologies for a timely paradigm shift.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (C.B.T.) has established itself as one of the most effective therapies for treating a wide range of behavioral problems. However, research and treatment in this field typically adopts a D.S.M. driven 'disorder-focused' approach-researchers and clinicians target a specific disorder, try to understand its aetiology and maintenance, and try to develop more effective strategies to treat the disorder. This book proposes a bold and original approach to understanding these disorders, one that focuses on what they have in common. Instead of examining in isolation, for example, obsessive compulsive disorders, insomnia, schizophrenia, it asks-what do patients with these disorders have in common? It takes each cognitive and behavioral process-attention, memory, reasoning, thought, behavior, and examines whether it is a transdiagnostic process-i.e., serves to maintain a broad range of psychological disorders. Having shown how these disorders share several important processes, it then describes the practical implications of such an approach to diagnosis and treatment. Importantly it explores why the different psychological disorders can present so differently, despite being maintained by the same cognitive and behavioral processes. This book will give clinicians and researchers a valuable new theoretical base for assessing and treating psychological disorders.

This book explores the application of Perceptual Control Theory (PCT) to transform secondary mental healthcare. It critiques the current mental health service design and delivery, emphasizing systemic issues rather than individual failings. The authors propose that mental health services should empower users by focusing on individual goals and perceptions, facilitating the resolution of goal conflicts to alleviate distress. The work is rooted in PCT, advocating for patient-centered care that promotes autonomy and control over one's mental health journey. Aimed at students, practitioners, service managers, and academics, the book offers a blueprint for creating more effective, efficient, and humane mental health services. It integrates perspectives from clinicians and service users, providing practical solutions and inspiring narratives to reimagine mental healthcare.

Voor de meeste psychische problemen zijn er vandaag de dag wetenschappelijk onderbouwde richtlijnen en behandelprotocollen. Dat is op zich natuurlijk heel goed. Maar het heeft helaas ook tot een veelheid aan behandelmethoden en therapieën geleid. Om die reden wordt de laatste tijd steeds vaker de vraag gesteld of dit wel de juiste weg is.Onderzoek wijst uit dat slechts een beperkt aantal factoren verantwoordelijk is voor verschillende psychische klachten. Processen zoals piekeren, het verdringen van emoties, zelfkritiek en vermijding liggen ten grondslag aan uiteenlopende psychische problemen en zorgen voor veel psychisch lijden. De transdiagnostische benadering zoomt in op deze onderliggende processen en gaat ervan uit dat behandelingen veel efficiënter kunnen.De Method of Levels (MOL) is zo?n transdiagnostische therapie. Met MOL kunnen cliënten bewust gemaakt worden van de oorzaak van hun psychisch lijden en worden geholpen om gewoonten los te laten en verandering en herstel te bewerkstelligen.In Method of Levels gesprekstherapie worden de basisprincipes en technieken van MOL beschreven. In 30 heldere en beknopte hoofdstukken wordt zowel de theorie als praktijk van deze transdiagnostische vorm van CGT inzichtelijk gemaakt. De uitgeschreven dialogen geven de lezer prachtige voorbeelden wat er precies gedaan kan worden in therapie en wat dit voor cliënten betekent.

The business of cognitive therapy is to transform meanings. What better way to achieve this than through a metaphor? Metaphors straddle two different domains at once, providing a conceptual bridge from a problematic interpretation to a fresh new perspective that can cast one's experiences in a new light. Even the simplest metaphor can be used again and again with different clients, yet still achieve the desired effect. One such example is the 'broken leg' metaphor for depression.Clients with depression are understandably frustrated with their symptoms. They may often push themselves to get bet
