Abstract

The cornerstone of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy is its ABC framework which helps therapists make sense of clients' problems. As it turns out, however, this model is often misunderstood by both clients and professionals. Research investigation on this misunderstanding forms the basis of this book. It addresses the doubts, reservations and objections clients had to the ABC framework in a research study of an REBT-based program in a psychiatric hospital. Additionally, errors and confusions on the part of those writing about the therapy is reviewed. Further, study was made on the accuracy of REBT therapists, themselves, in teaching this therapy to students. Also included is an analysis of how Albert Ellis, himself, has explicated the ABC's. This book is the first to systematically study how different groups conceptualise the ABCs of REBT and the errors that are commonly made in interpreting and putting them into practice. It will be of value to students and practitioners of REBT, and those teaching REBT in academic settings. .

Abstract

Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy as a ScienceAn Iconoclastic Perspective  Luciano L’Abate Since its inception, psychology has worked to establish itself as a legitimate scientific endeavor. Countless research studies have tested numerous theories and therapies, determining what works and what doesn’t, and building a vast store of empirical knowledge. Now a startling and provocative new volume suggests that the problem withthe evidence base is that it is not scientific enough—and that the major modes of therapy are on their way out.  In Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy as a Science, Luciano L’Abate expands on his previously controversial ideas, taking to task the one-to-one, face-to-face, talking-cure paradigm that has been entrenched for over a century. Citing the rise of self-help manuals, workbooks, written interactive practice exercises, and websites, he predicts the continued ascendance of writing in communication and healing, and details the contributions of technology in creating less-invasive homework-based interventions. These are presented as an efficient, cost-effective, and replicable alternative to traditional forms of therapy, and the author explains how their therapeutic gains can be achieved without sacrificing the therapeutic relationship. Included in the coverage are:  • The case for distance writing and computer conferences. • Beyond reliability and validity: the quest for specificity. • Stepped care research in clinical psychology and psychotherapy. • Concreteness, or seven orphaned concepts in search of a theory. • Toward a hierarchical personnel structure in clinical psychology and psychotherapy. • Plus an appendix of supplemental workbooks for adults, children, adolescents, and families.  As with the author’s other works, Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy as a Science will spark debate and interest among researchers and clinical psychologists and psychotherapists.

Abstract

Cooperation, Community, and Co-ops in a Global Era Carl Ratner Human history is largely the story of communities, punctuated by examples of cooperatives--in fact, our level of cooperative behavior is one of the attributes that makes us most human. In recent years, however, concepts such as rugged individualism and social Darwinism have competed against cooperative ideas for supremacy, and today's climate of global economic crisis has found these "me-first" concepts wanting. Now, an important new book posits that current political solutions to acute world problems are inadequate, and that modern society needs to look to its communal roots for recovery--and perhaps survival. Cooperation, Community, and Co-ops in a Global Era argues for a societal paradigm shift and details how such a transformation might be accomplished. Taking the evolutionary long view, its author demonstrates how cooperative principles can make a social system not just more efficient and less wasteful of time and resources, but also more democratic, empowering, and fulfilling for everyone involved. In making this compelling case, he:   Explains cooperation as a form of life that can resolve current crises and enhance human development.   Shows how most of human history has been cooperative.   Explains modern obstacles to cooperation that must be overcome. Explicates a cooperative social philosophy: its psychology, social relations, property relations, governance. Articulates a psychological theory of cooperation that includes comparative research with animals, evolutionary processes, biological issues, and cultural issues. Explains how cooperative enterprises have practiced cooperation.  Provides examples of co-op strengths and weaknesses  from on-site research into European and American co-ops.    Articulates a revisionist history of the cooperative movement that includes relations with socialist theory and the labor movement. Explains implications of cooperation for democracy and interpersonal relations such as love.                                                                             Social scientists, co-op members, policy makers, social philosophers, mediators, community builders, social reformers, and all those concerned with a viable solution to contemporary crises will find Cooperation, Community, and Co-ops In A Global Era stimulating and informative.

Abstract

The hallmark of Carl Rogers' work, the Person-Centered Approach (PCA), has long had a major impact on psychological research and clinical practice. Currently, as more diverse professionals recognize the relevance of humanistic thought to their fields, it is enjoying a wider diversity of applications across disciplines, populations, and settings. Interdisciplinary Applications of the Person-Centered Approach unfolds client-centered concepts into real-world contexts. The versatility and power of person-centered practice are on full display in an engaging integrative framework, featuring extended examples, practical guidelines, and graphic concept maps. Renowned scholar-practitioners illustrate innovative applications as diverse as motivational interviewing, parent training, learner-centered instruction, and peace negotiations to promote cross-disciplinary dialogue and collaboration, and potentially to solve larger societal problems. Support for the PCA spans a variety of areas including: • Clinical applications in psychotherapy and medicine. • Education, including elementary, higher, adult, and e-learning. • Child, family, and lifespan studies. • Business, management, leadership, and coaching. • Conflict resolution and constructive communication. Interdisciplinary Applications of the Person-Centered Approach complements its companion volume, Interdisciplinary Handbook of the Person-Centered Approach: Research and Theory, by enlightening researchers and practitioners who want to broaden their academic and clinical horizons. Both are significant resources for researchers in a variety of sciences, such as psychology, neuroscience, therapy, education, communication, and medicine, and for students of humanistic psychology.

It's about time someone compiled this crucial information. Whether one is headed for a research or a clinical career, all of the practical steps to get there are included. And, "The Portable Mentor" is an apt description. Every graduate student and young professional will want to have this book readily available." - David H. Barlow, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, Research Professor of Psychiatry, Director of Clinical Programs, and Director of the Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders at Boston University "Prinstein and Patterson have recruited a veritable who's who of psychology to provide us a well-written, scholarly, and comprehensive guide to a successful career in psychology. The volume is filled with critical commentary and issues confronting clinical psychology and with practical and well-reasoned advice on how to negotiate many of the muddy and troubled waters that characterize our field of study in the new millennium. I wish I'd had such a book in my "back pocket" upon my graduation some years ago!" - Thomas H. Ollendick, Ph.D., University Distinguished Professor, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University "In diverse chapters by active and leading experts, "The Portable Mentor" provides insightful commentaries and bullet-lists of ideas to facilitate early career advancement in psychology.

For any and all, and more, "The Portable Mentor" provides pathways to a productive early career. And for those already into their career, advice on how to be a good mentor to our future. Indeed, for psychologists at countless points in their careers, "The Portable Mentor" is a very worthwhile read." - Philip C. Kendall, Ph.D., ABPP, Laura H.
