These include the Work room, examining the role of the occupational psychologist; the Teaching room, focusing on the field of educational psychology; and the Crime room, centered on the activities of the forensic psychologist. Each room contains an overview of the key psychological concepts which are applied in each situation, before leading the reader through a number of scenarios - case studies which present the concepts in an applied context, andTrade ReviewThis is an excellent book which benefits from an integrated approach to the discipline. * Dr Diane Bray, Head of Department, Department of Psychology, Roehampton University *Table of ContentsPART 1 - THE TRANSITION FROM THEORY TO PRACTICE; PART 2 - THE ROOMS

Palgrave Macmillan Why Kids Kill
Book SynopsisFrom examining the material evidence of notorious school shooters at Columbine and Virginia Tech to addressing the mental states of the violent youths he treats, Langman shows how to identify early signs of homicide-prone youth and what preventive measures parents and communities can take to protect themselves from the tragedy.Trade ReviewCHOICE Outstanding Academic Title for 2009 'Langman offers a paradigm of three specific categories of youth offenders - psychopathic, psychotic, or traumatized...Langman fully discusses long-term exposure to violence, genetic predisposition to violence, recurrent alienation from mainstream society, depression, narcissism, and lack of empathy, as well as improperly challenged and constrained rage in the context of these three categories...He also looks at cases of youth who are not as notorious and whose intent to kill others was thwarted, and ends with lessons that can be learned from these and other cases. In addition, Langman presents research that informs current practice with disconnected, enraged youth. Langman believes that school shootings can be prevented, and his analysis offers reflections on how prevention can occur. A vital, phenomenal, extremely valuable work.

Kelly, Adelphi University, CHOICE (Sept. 2009) 'Peter Langman's book Why Kids Kill: Inside the Minds of School Shooters is a highly readable, engaging text that analyzes 10 school shooters, outlines a typology that classifies school shooters into three distinct categories, uses the author's personal experience in assessing potential school shooters, and outlines practical lessons from foiled and actual attacks...The author's extensive review of law enforcement records, clinical insight from his own professional work, and ability to clearly organize all of the information have resulted in a well-written book that is long overdue.' - Brandon Robbins, Contemporary Psychology: APA Review of Books 'The result of his decade-long inquiry...plumbs the interior lives of 10 notorious school shooters - including Columbine killers Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold and Virginia Tech gunman Seung-Hui Cho - to draw conclusions about what set them off.' - Michael Rubinkam, The New York Times 'A thorough analysis of recent school shootings and a helpful prescription for prevention geared to readers outside the psychiatric profession.' - Library Journal 'Mr. Langman, who is the clinical director of KidsPeace, an Orefield, Pa.-based charity that provides mental-health services for children and teenagers in 11 states, draws 10 lessons for parents and educators from his studies of school shootings across the United States.' - Debra Viadero, Education Week 'Dr. Langman's professional expertise and exhaustive research combine to produce a remarkably comprehensive psychological analysis of school shooters that will revolutionize our understanding of this phenomenon. This book provides an in-depth psychological analysis of school shooters that easily can be understood by non-professionals. The outstanding balance between psychological insight and plain language makes this book invaluable to anyone who works with children.' - Mary Ann Swiatek, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist and member of the Association for Psychological Science 'Dr. Langman...clearly identifies the enormity of the feelings of isolation and meaninglessness that plagued these children. Shows what we can do to make schools safe and homes friendly and child focused. Perhaps his greatest contribution is to point out that hyper reactive child exist in a social context that if it is not empathic and helpful can perhaps trigger the calamites he describes.' - Stuart Twemblow, author of Why School Anti Bullying Programs Don't Work 'We desperately need this book. It provides an interior view of the mind of rampage school shooters that helps us understand the origins of the narcissism, paranoia, sadism, and thwarted rage that appears to motivate them. Through the learned hands of Peter Langman, we come to understand the differences between shooters who are pyschopaths and those who are schizophrenics, and why these distinctions matter. A dispassionate, but clinically powerful analysis, Why Kids Kill, will be of great interest to teachers, parents, school administrators, and law enforcement officials who are responsible for prevention and treatment.' - Katherine S.

Columbia University Press Mental Health in the War on Terror
Book SynopsisAn investigation into the unintended cultural and psychological consequences of our fight against terrorism.Trade ReviewVery few people are able to synthesize the disciplines of anthropology, mental health, cultural studies, political theory, religious studies, bioethics, and forensics in the way Neil Krishan Aggarwal does in this book. He offers a balanced and insightful account of the challenges of forensic psychiatry in assessing and managing terrorism suspects. -- Hamada Hamid, Yale University Using concrete clinical cases to anchor sophisticated and thought-provoking analysis, Aggarwal demonstrates that not only ethics but also the very nature of clinical knowledge and practice are at issue in the use, and especially misuse, of mental-health categories in the War on Terror. His book brings a new level of critical self-reflection to the psychology of terrorism. -- James W. Jones, author of Blood That Cries Out from the Earth: The Psychology of Religious Terrorism An indispensable and astute account of the insidious cultural manifestations emerging from the justifying framework that is the War on Terror. In light of the increasingly intolerable actions permissible through deference to notions of national security, Aggarwal's review of bioethics is crucial to understanding the evolution, through politicization, of approaches to mental health. Aggarwal's review of orientalist positions within psychotherapy literature, which underpin this creeping securitization of mental health, reinforces the impact of culturally laden views on Islam and Muslims. An essential read. -- Orla Lynch, Centre for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence, University of St Andrews Aggarwal has written a theoretically sophisticated, multisided exploration of how the War on Terror and mental health are powerfully connected through the 'culture' of psychiatry, psychoanalysis, hospitals, courts, the military, and Islam. His argument is that science, religion, and moral experience are not just infiltrated with cultural meanings but come to create new cultural forms such as 'trauma,' forensic processes, and 'terrorism,' which in turn remake the world. An important achievement. -- Arthur Kleinman, Harvard University A clear and impassioned discussion of the presence of psychiatrists and mental-health knowledge practices in the micro-functioning of the War on Terror and the impact of each on the other. The book is a compelling portrayal of the way that medicine and its scientific languages and knowledge structures are able to move through and across political domains, being put to use to challenge and undo the very power structures they are meant to serve. Engaging, rigorous, and beautifully written. -- Sarah Pinto, Tufts University In this impressive and provocative volume, Aggarwal reveals many hidden failings of dominant social and political thought on radicalization and terrorism. Bioethics, arabic science, and symptoms in Guantanamo detainees are all debated to present an alternative, rounded, and compelling approach that includes medicine and cultural psychiatry as essential actors. -- Kamaldeep Bhui, Queen Mary University of London The questions it poses are valuable, difficult, and without easy answers - for clinicians, military leaders, or even civilians, all of whom must live with a medical culture deeply marked by the war on terror.

Random House USA Inc The Anatomy of Violence
Book SynopsisPassionate, courageous, and at times controversial, The Anatomy of Violence is a ground-breaking work that will challenge your core human values and perspectives on violence.Why do some kids from good environments become mass murderers? Is there actually such a thing as a natural born killer? And, if so, what can we do to identify and treat those born with a predisposition to criminal behavior? For more than three decades Adrian Raine has sought answers to these questions through his pioneering research on the biological basis for violence. In this book, he presents the growing body of evidence that shows how genetics and environmental influences can conspire to create a criminal brain, and how something as seemingly innocent as a low resting heart rate can give rise to a violent personality. Bristling with ingenious experiments, surprising data, and shocking case studies, this is also a clear-eyed inquiry into the thorny ethical issues this science raises about prevention and punishment.

Taylor & Francis Forensic Case Histories Understanding Serious
Book SynopsisForensic Case Histories: Understanding Serious Offending Behaviour in Men examines menâs violent and sexual offending behaviours, outlined through a series of real offender narratives, from a psychological perspective and in an accessible manner that will engage any audience, from the criminology-intrigued layperson to the specialist in the field.This unique and conversational text thinks psychologically about serious crime, offering a compilation of menâs narratives that explore their life experiences and the ways in which these experiences influence their behaviour in adulthood. Each chapter addresses a particular theme, covering frequently asked questions in the field such as, 'How can an apparently motiveless offence have meaning?' and 'Is psychopathy a personality disorder, and why do we struggle to treat individuals with such traits?' The narratives of individuals who offend are central to the discussion, but the chapters each draw on the relevant facts from the research literature and highlight key learning points. Many chapters also feature 'Further Reading' sections to expand readersâ knowledge.Both educational and accessible, Forensic Case Histories will appeal not only to specialists but to any layperson curious to understand more about criminal acts. It is especially valuable to students and instructors of criminal justice, mental health, and related fields.Trade Review"This book is the equivalent of inviting a very interesting and knowledgeable forensic psychologist round for dinner, and using the opportunity to pick their brains about the reality behind the Tabloid headlines that scream out at us on the subject of violent or sexual crime. Stories (aka detailed case studies) are used to skillfully unravel psychological explanations for such acts. Make yourself a cup of tea, pull up a chair, and get ready to lose yourself in a fascinating read that will inspire, captivate and educate, regardless of starting level of knowledge.

Chapters explore the movement in terms of gender, technology, the media, and pornography usage.

The complete text gives the reader useful perspectives and insights into incel culture while offering mental health clinicians and educators guidance on treatment and prevention efforts.Trade Review"In Understanding and Treating Incels, Van Brunt and Taylor take on a timely, uncomfortable, under-researched, and dangerous form of misogyny.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Sexual Murder
Book SynopsisSexual Murder: Catathymic and Compulsive Homicides is the culmination of the author's 45 years of experience with, and studying, sexually motivated homicide. Sexual murders are generally of two types catathymic and compulsive. Catathymic homicides are caused by a breakthrough of underlying sexual conflicts. They can be unplanned, explosive (acute) attacks or planned murders stemming from a chronic obsession with, or disturbed attachment to, the victim. In compulsive homicides, a fusion of sex and aggression results in a powerful internal drive which pushes the offender to seek out victims to kill and the killing itself is sexually gratifying. These murders also may be planned or unplanned. In compulsive homicides that are unplanned, the urge breaks through and disrupts the offender's controls when a victim of opportunity crosses his path. The compulsive offender who plans his crimes often eludes law enforcement, and as a result he can have multiple (serial) victims over extended periTrade Review"Sexual Murder: Catathymic and Compulsive Homicides, is a brilliant integration and application of previous theory and research, and advances the field of criminal forensic psychology." —J.

Taylor & Francis The Psychology of Death Investigations Behavioral
Book SynopsisThe Psychology of Death Investigations outlines definitively how behavioral evidence can often provide the necessary components and missing pieces to complement physical evidence as an essential tool for incident reconstruction. In order to determine the direction of an investigation and to prioritize leads, if necessary, death investigators must establish the manner of a death: natural, accident, homicide or suicide. The most overlooked aspect of death investigation is the psychological dimension, which can provide unique leads, correct false assumptions, enhance investigative awareness, and solve cases in surprising ways. In an estimated 10â20% of cases, the manner of death cannot be determined, or worse, has been erroneously categorized. Since many jurisdictions canât afford behavioral consultants, this book has been written to provide practical information for a basic psychological analysis. If the circumstances surrounding a death are equivocal, psychological consultants can compile information retrospectively about a deceased personâs mental state and possible motive to assist with unravelling ambiguity about the manner of death. This is the primary function of a psychological autopsy, and, as such, this is the first book of its kind dedicated solely to the topic.

Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) The Psychology of Fraud Persuasion and Scam
Book SynopsisThe Psychology of Fraud, Persuasion and Scam Techniques provides an in-depth explanation of not only why we fall for scams and how fraudsters use technology and other techniques to manipulate others, but also why fraud prevention advice is not always effective. Starting with how fraud victimisation is perceived by society and why fraud is underreported, the book explores the different types of fraud and the human and demographic factors that make us vulnerable. It explains how fraud has become increasingly sophisticated and how fraudsters use communication, deception and theories of rationality, cognition and judgmental heuristics, as well as specific persuasion and scam techniques, to encourage compliance. Covering frauds including romance scams and phishing attacks such as advance fee frauds and so-called miracle cures, the book explores ways we can learn to spot scams and persuasive communication, with checklists and advice for reflection and protection.Featuring a set of practical guidelines to reduce fraud vulnerability, advice on how to effectively report fraud and educative case studies and examples, this easy-to-read, instructive book is essential reading for fraud prevention specialists, fraud victims and academics and students interested in the psychology of fraud. Trade Review"This book is an engaging study of the modern-day plague of internet, email and personal scams, so often targeted at the most vulnerable in society. Written in accessible style, the book combines the personal and the scientific. Retelling everyday examples, it offers a captivating account of how we fall victim to fraud and theft, and suffer their emotional consequences, as and because we fail to recognise the traps of deception. Dove dissects the evidence, and rooting her account in scientific theory, she urges the reader to learn and prepare to detect the fraud instead of succumbing to it."— Dr. Andreas Cebulla, Associate Professor, Flinders University of South Australia"Dr. Dove has produced a comprehensive but accessible text that summarizes the current social science research on frauds and scams. The chapters progress logically from defining fraud in all its variations, to describing the process by which victims are defrauded, to offering solutions and preventative measures. The case studies she presents are exceptional and provide the reader with real-world examples. As a professor and a public educator, I believe this book could be used in a classroom, by working professionals, and citizens who wish to protect themselves from frauds and scams." — Dr. Roderick Graham, Associate Professor of Sociology and Criminal Justice, Old Dominion University "An exceptional piece of work that unpacks what it is to be a victim, an observer and even a perpetrator of different types of fraud. What Dr. Dove has managed to do here is remarkable, giving astute academic analysis alongside practical advice, examples and explanations in a definitive resource on both the art and science of the scam." — Jenny Radcliffe, Director, Human Factor Security"A fabulously interesting read. Dr Martina Dove provides a window into the methods of criminals whilst giving a valuable insight into how criminals use our emotional responses to defraud. This is a book for all, fraud prevention professionals, academics and the public.

Taylor & Francis Ltd PsychoSocial Explorations of Trauma Exclusion and
Book SynopsisThe central theme of this book is the operation of intersecting discourses of power, privilege and positioning as they are revealed in fraught encounters between in-groups and out-groups in our deeply fractured world. The authors offer a unique perspective on inter-group dynamics and structural violence at local, societal, cultural and global levels, dissecting processes of toxic othering' and psychosocial (re-)traumatisation. The book offers the Diogenes Paradigm as a unique conceptual tool with which to analyse the ways in which those of us who come to be located outside or on the margins of dominant social structures are, in one way or another, the inheritors of the legacies of centuries of oppression and exclusion. This analysis offers a distinctive psycho-social redefinition of trauma that foregrounds the relationship between the inhospitable environments we generate and the experiences of un-housedness that we thereby perpetuate.Written in an engaging and accessiTrade Review"This book inspires a feeling of relief. It brings together the most pressing issues of our time—climate change, genocide, exclusionary nationalism and deep-rooted dehumanising racisms—in profoundly original ways that address power relations, exclusions, ‘unhousedness’ and (re)traumatisation. It faces the pain they engender while refusing familiar, patronising tropes of otherness. Its perceptive, and sometimes poetic, scholarship brings deep hope that other, genuinely psychosocial ways of living and relating are possible, despite disagreements and disappointments along the way." - Ann Phoenix, Professor of Psychosocial Studies, UCL, UK"This is a profoundly disturbing book in the best sense. Chris Scanlon and John Adlam are known for their highly regarded psychosocial studies into the concept of the mind that is unhoused by trauma i.e those experiences that dismember and dissociate people from communities, creating communities of the excluded. In this rich work, they revisit and reconsider their work, with a lens informed by a deepening awareness of the costs of cruelty; whether by white people to people of colour, men to women and all of us to the very earth we stand on. Scanlon and Adlam stand up for the value of disturbance and dissidence, in a world where what can be said aloud seems to be constrained and people who say the ‘wrong’ thing can be excluded or cancelled as if they should not exist. We can learn from getting closer to the unloved and unloveable and we must do so, if we are not to fragment our minds, our communities and the earth itself. All those who work with excluded should read this book, if only to remind themselves that they are part of the group that excluded the people they claim to want to help. It is not always comfortable to look in a mirror but I think we can all be grateful to Scanlon and Adlam for holding up this particular glass." - Dr Gwen Adshead, consultant forensic psychiatrist and psychotherapist, Broadmoor Hospital, UK"Here we are given a mirror. In it we see something disturbing and yet hopeful about ourselves. We are confronted with the realization that healing occurs when we see that pain belongs to the collective rather than to the individuals who carry it on our behalf - a deeply knowledgeable, intensely wise, and fiercely ethical exploration of today’s predicament. Also one that points toward hope amidst the wreckage by suggesting how we might re-animate public spaces for reflection, empathy, and understanding." - James Krantz, PhD, Past President, International Society for the Psychoanalytic Study of Organizations"In this elegantly argued, carefully documented work, Christopher Scanlon and John Adlam offer a refreshing critical angle on some of the most pressing forms of social traumatization and exclusion. Going beyond ‘dispossession’, ‘necropolitics’, and ‘states of exception’ as means of characterizing the social injury wrought by inhospitable neoliberal sovereigns, they deploy a deeply critical, practice-based lens to looking at the suffering in our world produced by colonial and racist structures, mechanisms of dispossession and unhousedness, and ecocidal policies that are exacerbating a global migration crisis. The authors mitigate their disappointment at the persistence of oppression by proposing a blueprint for solidarity around anti-oppressive social action." - Michael O’Loughlin, Adelphi University, New York, USA; co-editor Psychoanalysis, Culture & Society"Starting from homelessness and ending with ‘race’ this is a study of abjection and shame and of its refusal, the refusal to go quietly into the night and accept your place on society’s outermost margins. Scanlon and Adlam examine the vexed relations between those who are cast out and those who, simply by occupying the position that they occupy, do the casting. This wonderfully imaginative and principled book draws upon a startling diversity of sources to explore the paradoxes and predicaments of structural violence." - Paul Hoggett, co-founder, Climate Psychology Alliance"Psychoanalysis inaugurated the study of the unknown in human experience. Group analysis added the previously unexplored impact of the social and political context on personal life and relations. Now Scanlon and Adlam incorporate the ecological and architectural aspects of our lives, derived from power relations and inequalities in the distribution of wealth, which lead the casualties of the system to an un-housed, dis-membered, and dis-eased existence. This exceptional book is far from neutrality and a revolutionary contribution. Its reading is a must." - Juan Tubert-Oklander, psychoanalyst and group analyst, Marista University of Merida"In such a slim and compact travel guide, the authors condense 20 years of working, thinking, writing together and with others to cover a remarkable amount of ground. They shine a light (or perhaps something more like Bion’s beam of intense darkness) on some of the most dangerous fault lines in our fragmenting world: racism, genocide, climate change and the inhospitable environments we create to re-house the unhoused." - Andy Downie, Group-Analytic Contexts, issue 96"The authors provide a courageous and revolutionary review of the social, political, racial, and ecological crises facing human civilization...[they] propose an unprecedented architectural template for future dialogues to readdress and restructure the spaces we collectively inhabit...this book offers an irridescent image of connecting to our collective pain, rather than disavowing it by splitting it off into the marginalised individuals of society... Reading a book like this could change your perspective on your work. It certainly did for me." - Kate Salucci, International Journal of Forensic Psychotherapy"...Adlam and Scanlon insist there are important political, ethical and existential lessons for us all, regarding norm rebuking, socially truculent and interpersonally confrontational modes of being-in-the-world, exemplifying strategies of survival that simultaneously subvert and illuminate pernicious dynamics of communal domination and social exclusion. Encompassing these ethical-existential dimensions under the banner of the ‘Diogenes Paradigm’, the authors ... accompany readers to a point where they, too, might seek to ‘reclaim the agora’, as Diogenes did...Adlam and Scanlon are to be deeply thanked by all of us, working with socially excluded individuals and ostracised groups, for this impassioned and deeply researched study, that ought to bring a renewed moral seriousness and social impetus to the psychosocial therapies...This book deserves to inspire and re-invigorate socially engaged, politically conscious and ethically motivated practitioners, to pay renewed attention to the broader ‘inhospitable environments’ in which they practice and to give serious, urgent thought, to how therapeutic practices and the institutions in which they are embedded, might be fundamentally transformed to redistribute power and material and social resources, permanently interrupting oppressive structures and practices." - British Journal of Psychotherapy"This book inspires a feeling of relief.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Toxic Couples The Psychology of Domestic Violence
Book SynopsisDomestic violence is a major public health concern, affecting millions worldwide. It is underreported, often devastating and sometimes ends in murder. In Toxic Couples: The Psychology of Domestic Violence, Anna Motz integrates psychological and criminological data with clinical illustrations and discussion of current high-profile cases. She examines the complex manifestations and multiple causes of intimate partner violence.Motz disentangles the roles played by those involved and examines the addictive nature of these damaging partnerships. The book describes various forms of abuse, including physical, sexual and emotional, and analyses how intimate partner violence can escalate to murder. She explores important factors including: the role of addiction; homelessness and vulnerability; the intergenerational transmission of abuse; sadomasochistic relationships; honour-based vioTrade Review"I would encourage those who are working with couples to turn towards this valuable text as a basis for extending their thinking and practice in an extremely challenging area of work."- Damian McCann, Couple and Family Psychoanalysis "Although it can often be difficult for outside observers to understand why a person would remain in a relationship coloured by psychological, emotional, financial, physical and/or sexual abuse, much less profess their love and desire for the tormentor, research demonstrates these are not simple decisions... Motz unravels these mysteries again and again for the reader through dozens of captivating case studies. She offers us insights rarely available to non-clinicians, revealing the process of malignant attachment and childhood adversity that is so often at the foundation of domestic violence and intimate partner abuse. A particular strength of the book is the consideration given to diverse relationships and multiple forms of abuse and trauma.Motz offers readers a richly interwoven tapestry of theory, research findings, and clinical wisdom. This book is likely to appeal to the lay public as well as seasoned practitioners and novice clinical graduate students, alike." - Tonia Nicholls, Associate Professor, Department of Psychiatry, University of British Columbia, Canada. "For far too long people have looked for simple solutions and wondered why men and women don't change their behaviours. I found Toxic Couples enlightening, challenging and provocative and it gave me a different perspective recalling past cases. The book is really timely as issues such as early intervention and the importance of attachment are increasingly gaining ground - both at a policy level and within the domestic violence sector. Anyone who reads this cannot help but be provoked to think a little bit and examine their own practice. It should be required reading of anyone training to work in the fields of forensic psychology, child protection, social work, advocates and DV work." - Mark Coulter, Strength to Change, UK. "Toxic Couples is simultaneously dark and enlightening. It is essential reading for any clinician dealing with family conflicts since it courageously challenges the traditional view that women are always the victims of male violence. The acknowledgement that women can actively participate in domestic violence is accurately described and clinically proven. Reading this book will help to illuminate complex dynamics within violent partnerships, provide uneasy insights to all those involved in the assessment of domestic violence and prevent future failures in family court proceedings." - Dr Estela Welldon, Founder & Honorary Life President, International Association for Forensic Psychotherapy "This book provides a scholarly and empathic analysis of what the author terms the "addictive force" of relationships in which destructive aggression and intimacy are interwoven. With great integrity, Anna Motz explores the role each partner can play when enmeshed in destructive forms of communication – "a kiss with a fist" – and how "the unthinkable" can in turn be acted out against one or more children whose parents have entered a state of malignant fusion. Detailed case discussions include headline cases of children who have evolved from helpless victim to powerful perpetrator in their re-enactment upon vulnerable peers of what they have witnessed but cannot process. Practitioners in the fields of criminal justice, forensic mental health, child protection and victim support will find this important book both illuminating and insightful." - Dr Celia Taylor, President, International Association for Forensic Psychotherapy and Clinical Head of Service, Millfields Unit, UK Table of ContentsDedication.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Therapeutic Feedback with the MMPI2
Book SynopsisTherapeutic Feedback with the MMPI-2 provides the clinician with empirically-based, practical information about how to convey the abundance of information in the MMPI-2 profile in a way that is collaborative, empathic, hopeful, and facilitates a therapeutic alliance. Readers will find this book to be as useful and applicable as the MMPI-2 itself, which is used in psychiatric hospitals; correctional settings; in evaluations for job selection, general medicine, forensic and child custody cases; and even in screenings for television, game, and reality shows. The authors expand upon this already robust test by demonstrating how therapeutic assessment and feedback can be improved upon by considering three contributions from positive psychology: that behavior can be viewed as potentially adaptive; traditional pathological and maladaptive behaviors can be reframed as understandable responses to stressors that therapeutic feedback is empathic, nonjudgmental,Trade Review“Therapists wishing to make an impact in helping their clients understand and resolve their problems need to be aware of the nature and extent of difficulties their client is experiencing. There is no better way to provide clients with a valuable perspective than to ask them directly through a self-report personality questionnaire like the MMPI-2. This book, Therapeutic Feedback with the MMPI-2: A Positive Psychology Approach by Drs. Levak, Siegel, and Nichols, with Dr. Stolberg, all notable experts on psychological assessment with the MMPI-2, and broad in clinical practice, is an excellent place to learn the client feedback method. I strongly recommend this book as a must-read for assessment psychologists.” - James N. Butcher, Emeritus Professor, University of Minnesota, USA “The authors approach actuarial and clinical data with a fresh perspective that describes and interprets personality in client-centered terms. Until recently, feedback has been the forgotten stepchild of personality assessment with the MMPI-2. This work fills a glaring gap in MMPI-2 assessment and serves, not only as a guide to using feedback in a positive way, but also provides a remarkable example of the description of personality functioning in general. There is nothing else out there like it; this book is destined to become a classic.” - Philip A. Marks, PhD, retired clinical psychologist, Professor Emeritus, Ohio State University, USA “Lewak, Siegel, Nichols and Stolberg offer a valuable blueprint for providing sensitive, person-centered, solution-generating MMPI-2 feedback; in essence, they supply the words for engaging in a meaningful dialogue with the client and mobilizing his or her positive potential. Included in their descriptions are rarely discussed strengths associated with MMPI-2 scores and codetypes and resilience-enhancing recommendations. This is an excellent resource for personality assessment practitioners, instructors, and graduate students.” - Radhika Krishnamurthy, PsyD, ABAP, Florida Institute of Technology, USA "The authors have done a splendid job of developing MMPI-2 interpretations that are user friendly, empathic, connected to the client’s experience, and are likely to facilitate client change. This is an essential and much needed development in research and practice. I highly recommend this book to any professional involved with psychological assessment.” - Gary Groth-Marnat, PhD, ABPP, Clinical Psychology, California School of Professional Psychology, San Diego, USA “This comprehensive textbook will expand any reader’s bandwidth of understanding MMPI code patterns and their relationship to psychopathology and, more importantly, the subjective world of individuals with psychological profiles captured by the MMPI-2. It gives therapists and diagnosticians detailed information that is critical for them to understand their clients’ experiences of themselves and others. From the complaints, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to the lifestyle and family background of individuals producing code patterns, these authors have eloquently described the nature of personality functioning and make what otherwise might be complex material quite easy to grasp and digest. This text, with its recommendations for interpreting profiles in an emphatic and useful way for clients, will become an immediate classic—one that every personality assessor should have on their shelf if they utilize the MMPI-2." - Dr. Alan Friedman, Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, USA Table of ContentsIntroduction.

John Wiley & Sons Inc The Self in the Family
Book SynopsisIn his acclaimed book A Theory of Personality Development, Luciano L''Abate introduced a revolutionary theory of personality development and functioning that departed radically from traditional theories. In place of hypothetical traits existing in an empirical vacuum, Dr. L''Abate offered an image of observable interpersonal competencies functioning within the basic contexts of home, work, leisure, and the marketplace. Central to his theory was a developmental model that posited the family as the primordial setting in which propensities are formed and behavior patterns set. By defining personality in terms of the growth and interplay of interpersonal competencies, the L''Abate theory provided an epistemologically and empirically sound basis for understanding personality function and dysfunction as corollaries and extensions of one another. In The Self in the Family, Luciano L''Abate and Margaret Baggett again break new ground by expanding the L''Abate theory of personality developmTable of ContentsSUMMARY AND EXPANSION OF THE THEORY. The Family as the Context for Personality Development andSocialization. Corroborating the Theory: Independent and Indirect Evidence. Corroborating the Theory: Direct Evidence.
