Book SynopsisThough he was a prolific writer and an original thinker of vast erudition, Jung lacked a gift for clear exposition and his ideas are less widely appreciated than they deserve. In this concise introduction, Anthony Stevens explains clearly the basic concepts of Jungian psychology: the collective unconscious, complex, archetype, shadow, persona, anima, animus, and the individuation of the Self. He examines Jung''s views on such disparate subjects as myth, religion, alchemy, `sychronicity'', and the psychology of gender differences, and he devotes separate chapters to the stages of life, Jung''s theory of psychological types, the interpretation of dreams, the practice of Jungian analysis, and to the unjust allegation that Jung was a Nazi sympathizer. Finally, he argues that Jung''s visionary powers and profound spirituality have helped many to find an alternative set of values to the arid materialism prevailing in Western society.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.

Book SynopsisModern Man in Search of a Soul is the perfect introduction to the theories and concepts of one of the most original and influential religious thinkers of the twentieth century. Lively and insightful, it covers all of his most significant themes, including man's need for a God and the mechanics of dream analysis. One of his most famous books, it perfectly captures the feelings of confusion that many sense today. Generation X might be a recent concept, but Jung spotted its forerunner over half a century ago. For anyone seeking meaning in today's world, Modern Man in Search of a Soul is a must.Trade Review'He was more than a psychological or scientific phenomenon; he was to my mind one of the greatest religious phenomena the world has ever experienced.' - Laurens van der Post 'His psychological approach is deeply interesting and should stimulate many who are today more ready to trust a doctor than a clergyman, to help them to rediscover the meaning of life.' - The Guardian 'Jung was the first to see that, of all the crises facing humanity, the lack of any sense of meaning in life is the crisis that guarantees all the rest. Whether the reader self-defines as modern, late modern of post-modern, the predicament that Jung lays out in bleak detail still strikes a chord. His suggestion that any possible solutions - political ecological, philosophical or religious - must include and respect elements of what lies deep within the psyche ('the soul') continues to challenge and to inspire.' - Andrew Samuels, Professor of Analytical Psychology, University of Essex 'This slim volume contains the quintessence of Jung's thinking. Originally published in 1933, it was the first readily accessible presentation in English of the great psychologist's basic ideas about psychotherapy, dream interpretation, psychological types, the stages of life and his differences with Sigmund Freud. His observations on the relationship between the "archaic man" and "modern man" anticipate those of contemporary evolutionary psychiatry, while his diagnosis of what alls western culture has been endorsed by subsequent history. An invaluable book for those seeking an introduction to Jungian psychology, expressed - with unusual clarity - in the master's own words.' - Anthony StevensTable of ContentsDream-Analysis in its Practical Application -- Problems of Modern Psychotherapy -- The Aims of Psychotherapy -- A Psychological Theory of Types -- The Stages of Life -- Freud and Jung - Contrasts -- Archaic Man -- Psychology and Literature -- The Basic Postulates of Analytical Psychology -- The Spiritual Problem of Modern Man -- Psychotherapists or the Clergy

Book SynopsisAs Bowlby himself points out in his introduction to this seminal childcare book, to be a successful parent means a lot of very hard work. Giving time and attention to children means sacrificing other interests and activities, but for many people today these are unwelcome truths. Bowlbyâs work showed that the early interactions between infant and caregiver have a profound impact on an infant's social, emotional, and intellectual growth. Controversial yet powerfully influential to this day, this classic collection of Bowlbyâs lectures offers important guidelines for child rearing based on the crucial role of early relationships.Trade Review'One of the most influential forces in child psychiatry and psychology, Dr. Bowlby challenged basic tenets of psychoanalysis and pioneered methods of investigating the emotional life of children.' - The New York TimesTable of ContentsHolmes, Preface to the Routledge Classics Edition.

Book SynopsisEagerly awaited by many counsellors and psychotherapists, this new edition includes an updated preface, new content on recent research and new developments and debates around relational depth, and new case studies. This groundbreaking text goes to the very heart of the therapeutic meeting between therapist and client. Focusing on the concept of 'relational depth', the authors describe a form of encounter in which therapist and client experience profound feelings of contact and engagement with each other, and in which the client has an opportunity to explore whatever is experienced as most fundamental to her or his existence. The book has helped thousands of trainees and practitioners understand how to facilitate a relationally-deep encounter, identify the personal blocks' that may be encountered along the way, and consider new therapeutic concepts such as 'holistic listening' that help them to meet their clients at this level. This classic text rTrade ReviewOnly occasionally do books change the very way we think about practice and introduce concepts that have the power to redefine some of our work, the first edition of Working at Relational Depth did just that, and this second edition takes us several steps further. Entirely updated, refreshed and contemporary in its approach this is, once again, a tour de force in the literature; a further critical development in our understanding of the relationship in counselling and psychotherapy. -- Dr Andrew ReevesWorking at Relational Depth in Counselling and Psychotherapy 2nd Edition, co-authored by Mick Cooper and Dave Mearns, is a wonderful book which should be on every counsellor’s and counsellor training course’s reading list. -- Moira BishopThis book reminds us that therapy is both an art and a science. The struggle to find words to describe moments of deep healing between two people is balanced by an absorbing look at the neuroscience, developmental psychology and evidence that underpin relational depth. This is both poetry and prose which speak across the different modalities to all therapists who care about their clients. -- Fiona Ballantine Dykes, Intergrative Therapist and Head of Professional Standards BACPThe illustrative examples, client accounts and research meshed together into an enjoyable, informative and thought provoking read. It enabled me to realize that, fundamentally, working at relational depth means two human-beings allowing themselves to be seen exactly as they are. Human.

Book SynopsisIn this book, one of America's most distinguished psychologists describes his experiences in helping people to discover the path to personal growth through an understanding of their own limitations and potential. What is personal growth? Under what conditions is it possible? How can one person help another? What is creativity, and how can it be fostered? These are some of the issues raised, which challenge many concepts of traditional psychology.Contemporary psychology derives largely from the experimental laboratory, or from Freudian theory. It is preoccupied with minute aspects of animal and human behaviour, or with the mentally ill. But there are rebels, of whom the author counts himself as one, along with Gordon Allport, Abraham Maslow and Rollo May, who feel that psychology and psychiatry should be aiming higher, and be more concerned with growth and potentiality in man. The interest of such a psychology is in the production of harmoniously mature individuals, given that we all have qualities and possibilities infinitely capable of development. Successful development makes us more flexible in relationships, more creative, and less open to suggestion and control.This book, philosophical and provocative, summarizes Dr Rogers' experience. Non-technical in its language, it is not only for psychologists and psychiatrists, but for teachers and counsellors, religious and social workers, labour-management specialists and anyone interested in 'becoming'.

Book SynopsisRobin and Joan Shohet are pioneers in supervision training for the helping professions. Much more than a manual, this book embodies the heart, soul, spirit and values of their training courses - a golden treasury of insight, wisdom and practical techniques. Its detailed descriptions of their courses apply directly to the work of the helping professions and the therapeutic relationship; what they say apply also to how we all negotiate relationships in our work and our lives. The book opens with the '23 principles' that form the basis of their beliefs about the role and function of supervision. It goes on to describe in detail five of the courses they have been running for some 40 years. These are vivid scripts taken directly from course recordings, bringing to life the interactions, exchanges and relationships played out in the training process. Here we have the Core Course, the Seven-Eyed Model, the Group Supervision Course, the Advanced Course, and the one-day workshop Fear and Love in Supervision. The book ends with a bank of resources drawn from Robin's published writings over the years. These are bold, brave, sometimes raw and always deeply honest accounts of the Shohets' inspirational supervision training - each accompanied by one of Joan's cake recipes.Trade ReviewThis is a breath-taking treasure trove of a book. Robin and Joan share their lives' work in developing, practising and teaching the art of supervision. They describe in detail not only the models they have developed and the principles behind them but how they teach them - right down to the detailed design of their programmes, the exercises and experiments they use - and even the recipes for the cakes Joan bakes for the participants. But not only that. The book is a delightful read - it zings engagingly along, full of stories and vignettes, quotations and anecdotes. One feels privileged to meet the authors in all their humanity - their mistakes as well as their brilliance, their feelings and their experience. I feel deeply appreciative. - Professor Charlotte Sills, Ashridge Business School and Metanoia Institute, London. I shall return to the book regularly in order to savour each reflection and continue learning from the wisdom and humanity contained within it. - Els van Ooijen, psychotherapist, counsellor and supervisor in private practice in Bristol, a former visiting lecturer to the counselling and supervision courses at the University of South Wales, and author of Clinical Supervision Made Easy.Table of ContentsPreface - Michael Carroll.

Book SynopsisThe current mainstream way of describing psychological and emotional distress assumes it is the result of medical illnesses that need diagnosing and treating. This book summarises a powerful alternative to psychiatric diagnosis that asks not 'What's wrong with you?' but 'What's happened to you?' The Power Threat Meaning Framework (PTMF) was co-produced by a core group of psychologists and service users and launched in 2018, prompting considerable interest in the UK and worldwide. It argues that emotional distress, unusual experiences and many forms of troubled or troubling behaviour are understandable when viewed in the context of a person's life and circumstances, the cultural and social norms we are expected to live up to and the degree to which we are exposed to trauma, abuse, injustice and inequality. The PTMF offers all of us the tools to create new, hopeful narratives about the reasons for our distress that are not based on psychiatric diagnosis and to find ways forward as individuals, families, social groups and whole societies.Trade Review‘Our understanding of mental health has long been waiting for some fundamental rethinking. This book sets out a new framework that achieves the rare combination of being both revolutionary and eminently sensible. People have been complaining of ‘the medical model’ for years but have rarely had anything to replace it with. Now we have an approach carefully worked out over several years by a group of senior psychologists and users of psychiatric services. ‘Chemical imbalances’ have been replaced by a deeply social and experiential view. As the arguments about it go back and forth over the coming years, this book will be essential reading for anyone who takes a serious interest in the field.’ - Richard Wilkinson, Emeritus Professor of Social Epidemiology, University of Nottingham, and co-author of The Spirit Level and The Inner Level. ---- ‘We found the book to be self-explanatory, gripping and with good flow. The way in which it unravels is engaging and each paragraph leaves you wanting to know more. The added dimension of examples throughout makes this book relatable and also further supports learning. We believe that this book leaves people with no option but to think about change, not only within themselves, which in itself is empowering, but also within different cultures and the system as a whole. The knowledge it shares left us feeling empowered and we strongly believe it holds potential to have the same impact on others.’ - SHIFT recovery community, PortsmouthTable of ContentsSeries introduction - Richard Bentall and Pete Sanders, 1.

Book SynopsisOf all the books of the Bible few have had more resonance for modern readers than the Book of Job. For a world that has witnessed great horrors, Job's cries of despair and incomprehension are all too recognizable. The visionary psychotherapist Carl Gustav Jung understood this and responded with this remarkable book, in which he set himself face-to-face with 'the unvarnished spectacle of divine savagery and ruthlessness'. Jung perceived in the hidden recesses of the human psyche the cause of a crisis that plagues modern humanity and leaves the individual, like Job, isolated and bewildered in the face of impenetrable fortune. By correlating the transcendental with the unconscious, Jung, writing not as a biblical scholar but 'as a layman and physician who has been privileged to see deeply into the psychic life of many people', offers a way for every reader to come to terms with the divine darkness which confronts each individual.Trade Review'As I read this short book again after a twenty-year gap, I am again provoked, beguiled and dazzled by its frequent flashes of brilliance.' - Don CupittTable of ContentsIntroduction; Chapter 1 I; Chapter 2 II; Chapter 3 III; Chapter 4 IV; Chapter 5 V; Chapter 6 VI; Chapter 7 VII; Chapter 8 VIII; Chapter 9 IX; Chapter 10 X; Chapter 11 XI; Chapter 12 XII; Chapter 13 XIII; Chapter 14 XIV; Chapter 15 XV; Chapter 16 XVI; Chapter 17 XVII; Chapter 18 XVIII; Chapter 19 XIX; Chapter 20 XX;

Book SynopsisThis is an invaluable guide to Lacanian psychoanalysis, how it's done, and how it differs from other forms of therapy. While elucidating Lacan's theory, the book does so from the perspective of the practitioner faced with pressing questions of diagnosis, which therapeutic stance to adopt, how to involve the patient, and how to bring about change.Trade ReviewProfessor Fink's Clinical Introduction to Lacanian Psychoanalysis addresses the clinically minded of all stripes, from the formally trained psychoanalyst to the layman who may be in, or in any way interested in, psychotherapy. His book will be particularly useful to analysts-in-training and doctoral-level students in psychology and the cognate disciplines. No previous exposure to Lacan's thinking is required. -- William Richardson, Boston CollegeWritten with a clarity and accessibility unusual in Lacanian studies, Professor Fink's book leads the reader step by step through Lacanian analysis, moving progressively toward the more problematic aspects of the theory.

Book SynopsisHelping therapists navigate the complexities of emotional interactions with clients, this book provides practical clinical guidelines. Master clinician Karen J. Maroda adds an important dimension to the psychodynamic literature by exploring the role of both clients' and therapists' emotional experiences in the process of therapy. The book discusses how to become more attuned to one's own experience of a client; offer direct feedback and self-disclosure in the service of treatment goals; and manage intense feelings and conflict in the relationship. Specific techniques are illustrated with vivid case examples. Maroda clearly distinguishes between therapeutic and nontherapeutic ways to work with emotion in this candid and instructive guide.Trade ReviewMaroda clearly describes how the psychotherapist's emotional responses to the patient's communications are essential to the change processes that lie at the core of the therapeutic relationship. Her clinical model for working more deeply in the affective realm is solidly grounded in interpersonal neurobiology. This extraordinary book is filled with practical information and rich case vignettes. I highly recommend it.--Allan N. Schore, PhD, Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences, University of California, Los AngelesMaroda's proven skill at highly instructive use of courageous self-disclosure is superbly displayed in this revealing work on that rarest of topics: specific elucidation of technique in dynamic therapy. Full of practical advice and illuminating case material, this book is a godsend for therapists.--Thomas G. Gutheil, MD, Department of Psychiatry, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical SchoolMaroda brings such a wealth of seasoned clinical experience and wisdom to this book that it inevitably will be an invaluable resource. She offers a treatment-oriented presentation that is sophisticated yet lucid and pragmatic.--Edgar A. Levenson, MD, William Alanson White Institute, New York City Though intended primarily for inexperienced clinicians, this book has much to offer therapists at every level of practice. It is in equal turns scholarly and eminently practical, and imparts the clinical wisdom of a senior therapist who is willing to discuss the intricacies of clinical process with emotional and professional candor. The multidimensional clinical illustrations are evocative and elegantly crafted. Highly recommended.--Jerrold R. Brandell, PhD, Distinguished Professor, Wayne State University School of Social Work; Editor-in-Chief, Psychoanalytic Social Work With this engaging, readable book, Maroda answers a long-standing need for a primer on psychodynamic technique. In her characteristic melding of professional and personal experience, theoretical sophistication, research findings, and plain-spoken common sense, Maroda serves up a banquet of good advice that will nourish not only students and beginning therapists, but also experienced practitioners. She keeps the focus on the practical and generously illustrates her points with clinical vignettes that exemplify the emotional honesty she so consistently recommends. I look forward to assigning this welcome text to my graduate students in clinical psychology.--Nancy McWilliams, PhD, ABPP, Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey This is an outstanding contribution by a master clinician. Maroda takes the reader on an intimate tour of becoming a good psychotherapist. Her generous use of case examples allows the reader to enter into her consulting room, and illustrates the nuances of various dynamic methods. This book should be mandatory reading for graduate students facing the trepidation and uncertainty of immersing oneself in clinical practice.--Jon Mills, PsyD, PhD, ABPP, private practice, Ajax, Ontario, Canada -Table of ContentsIntroduction1.

The large-size format facilitates photocopying. Purchasers also get access to a webpage where they can download and print the reproducible materials.Trade Review“Buy this book and you will return to it again and again. Brown’s Skills System offers a concise, ultra-pragmatic skills training approach with comprehensive, step-by-step curriculum materials great for teaching emotion regulation to learners of all abilities. Both experienced and novice skills trainers will love this toolkit of teaching strategies!”--Kelly Koerner, PhD, Evidence-Based Practice Institute, Seattle "This is an exceptionally useful curriculum for all practitioners who work with individuals who have intellectual impairments co-occurring with significant challenging behaviors. Brown's approach to DBT skills training has been demonstrated to be very helpful for treating emotional dysregulation while accommodating this population's complex needs. An important and insightful book."--Robert J. Fletcher, DSW, ACSW, Founder and CEO, NADD (National Association for the Dually Diagnosed) "Brown provides a clear, step-by-step introduction to the emotion regulation skills curriculum that she has developed over two decades of work with individuals with learning challenges and emotional difficulties. Brown succeeds admirably where few others have even dared to set foot. Complex emotion regulation challenges are broken down into manageable problems using a series of steps that people at many different skill levels can apply. At once simple and sophisticated, this guide is a 'must.'"--James J. Gross, PhD, Department of Psychology, Stanford University "Brown has masterfully integrated and adapted key DBT elements into her Skills System. With a growing evidence base, accessible language, easy graphics, and welcome repetition, her manual promises to help countless people with intellectual challenges. I have seen the very positive impact of her work professionally, and so can recommend her book enthusiastically."--Alan E. Fruzzetti, PhD, Professor and Director, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Research Program, Department of Psychology, University of Nevada, Reno "In this much-needed volume, Brown expertly translates basic concepts from DBT, using simple language, clear handouts, appealing visual icons, and inviting worksheets. Her curriculum helps individuals to regulate emotions, thoughts, and behaviors based on their level of emotional arousal and the situation. Brown's use of simple terms such as Clear Picture, On-Track Thinking, On-Track Action, and New-Me Activities facilitates skills acquisition, and the week-by-week teaching guide provides skills trainers with a user-friendly structure to implement the program. Especially helpful to the reader is Brown's discussion of multiple theoretical models that form the foundation of the Skills System."--Jill H. Rathus, PhD, Department of Psychology, Long Island University–C. W. Post Campus "This book is a clinically sensitive, research-informed presentation of how DBT skills training can be employed with clients with intellectual challenges. Detailed descriptions of training sessions are accompanied by user-friendly handouts and worksheets. All professionals working with this population will benefit from this thoughtful work. Kudos to Julie Brown!"--Donald Meichenbaum, PhD, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, University of Waterloo, Canada; Research Director, The Melissa Institute for Violence Prevention, Miami, Florida “Anyone attempting to teach emotion regulation skills to individuals with intellectual challenges must read this user-friendly book, since many of the standard manuals miss the mark with this population. Brown’s vast clinical wisdom shines through in her developmentally appropriate teaching examples, discussion points, and handouts.”--Alec L. Miller, PsyD, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Albert Einstein College of Medicine "If you are doing DBT-informed work with an individual with serious cognitive challenges or intellectual disabilities, this is the book for you. Brown has been a DBT trainer since 2005 and has adapted the skills for the special needs of this population."--Marsha M. Linehan, PhD, ABPP, Professor and Director Emeritus, Behavioral Research and Therapy Clinics, University of Washington; developer of DBT "I use Brown's approach with individuals who are not cognitively challenged but struggle with addiction. They find the terms easy to remember and consistent with recovery concepts. The straightforward, concrete structure of the system is helpful for clients who feel lost and vulnerable during their recovery. I recommend this book for any clinician who wants to teach emotion regulation skills."--Michele Waldron, PsyD, LADC-I, private practice, Bedford, Massachusetts -The user-friendly features of this book stand out as a strength among other guides and manuals aimed at adapting DBT materials. Practitioners are provided with a twelve-week curriculum, as well as ideas for alternate formats. Appendixes A, B, and C include more than 150 pages of reproducible handouts, working examples, and coaching worksheets, many of which include helpful illustrations. Readers are also given a link to access a printable copy of all supplemental materials online, making this manual a valuable tool for those seeking a structured approach to skills training with clients who experience learning challenges.--School Social Work Journal, 04/02/2018Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisThe definitive reference in the field--now significantly revised with 75% new material--this volume examines typical and atypical development from birth to the preschool years and identifies what works in helping children and families at risk. Foremost experts explore neurobiological, family, and sociocultural factors in infant mental health, with a major focus on primary caregiving relationships. Risk factors for developmental problems are analyzed, and current information on disorders and disabilities of early childhood is presented. The volume showcases evidence-based approaches to assessment and intervention and describes applications in mental health, primary care, child care, and child welfare settings. New to This Edition: *Chapters on genetic and epigenetic processes, executive functions, historical trauma, and neglect. *Chapters on additional clinical problems: hyperactivity and inattention, sensory overresponsivity, and relationship-specific disorder. *Trade Review"Successive editions of this handbook have given us the foremost thinking in an incredibly fast-developing area. Readers of the fourth edition will be delighted by a diversity of perspectives that define an increasingly rich field. For example, new chapters on epigenetics and historical trauma deepen our understanding that the baby is an interactive traveler on a multigenerational journey. Zeanah has yet again assembled an all-star cast of authors to help us better understand and intervene at both individual and sociocultural levels. This handbook is equally indispensable to researchers, clinicians, policymakers, educators, and graduate students. With the correct classroom supports, the fourth edition is ideal for use in graduate programs and postdoctoral seminars. Its utility as a classroom text spans psychology, developmental science, education and special education, psychiatry, social work, nursing, early intervention, pediatrics, public health, and many other disciplines."--Walter S. Gilliam, PhD, Child Study Center, Yale School of Medicine "Zeanah has once again brought together the leading experts in the field to provide the most comprehensive, up-to-date presentation of the science and practice of infant mental health. Chapters offer a broad view as well as specific information about early childhood development in context, risk and protective factors, assessment, psychopathology, interventions, and applications in different settings and contexts. The volume presents detailed roadmaps for clinical care, training, and advocacy. For every child psychiatry fellow and faculty member in our department, this is the core, foundational book of early childhood mental health knowledge."--Helen Link Egger, MD, Chair, Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, and Director, Child Study Center, New York University Langone Medical Center "As in prior editions, the fourth edition of the Handbook distills a massive body of research on neurobiological processes in the developing child and renders it digestible to readers who are less familiar with the topic. To our great fortune, coverage of neurobiology has been expanded with a cutting-edge chapter on epigenetics. Other new chapters keep pace with the rapidly evolving field of evidence-based infant mental health interventions by presenting approaches arising from varying theoretical and philosophical bases."--Brenda Jones Harden, PhD, Department of Human Development and Quantitative Methodology, University of Maryland, College Park "From its pioneering first edition, this handbook established itself as the authoritative resource for the infant mental health field. Now in its fourth edition, this volume builds on the foundations of the previous editions, yet brings the reader up to date with thorough reviews of key topics. Newcomers to the field, students (both beginning and advanced), and experienced clinicians and researchers will all find the Handbook invaluable. It covers the main issues 'from cell to society,' is accurate and scientifically rigorous, and offers balanced descriptions of complex issues."--David Oppenheim, PhD, Department of Psychology and Center for the Study of Child Development, University of Haifa, Israel "The fourth edition very much keeps abreast of developments in the field of infant mental health. I have read the new chapters with much enjoyment and sense of fruitfulness. The Handbook is pertinent, up to date, and a great resource for those of us working directly with infants and parents, as well as those seeking to develop the overall coordination and delivery of mental health services. All of the contributors are at the forefront of their respective areas of research and clinical activity. The Handbook is the overall textbook for our multidisciplinary training program in infant and parent mental health at the University of Melbourne. The residents and fellows in the infant mental health program at the Royal Children’s Hospital also refer to the book when providing inpatient and outpatient care."--Campbell Paul, MBBS, FRANZCP, Honorary Principal Fellow, University of Melbourne, Australia; Consultant Infant Psychiatrist, Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne -If you can't find helpful information summarized here, relevant to any important or special problem pertinent to children ages 0–3, then the data do not yet exist.

Book SynopsisAcclaimed for its clear writing and stellar contributors, this authoritative text is now in a revised and updated fourth edition. The book explains the history, assessment approach, techniques, and research base of each of the 12 most important psychotherapies practiced today, along with its foundational ideas about personality and psychological health and dysfunction. The consistent chapter format facilitates comparison among the various approaches. Every chapter includes engaging clinical vignettes and an extended case example that bring key concepts to life, as well as suggested resources for further learning. New to This Edition *Incorporates important developments in clinical practice and research. *Entirely new chapters on CBT, third-wave CBT, couple therapies, and interpersonal and brief psychodynamic therapies; all other chapters fully updated. *Increased attention to multiple dimensions of diversity, the evidence-based practice movement, psychotherapy inTrade Review"Coedited by two of the most influential figures in the field, this text achieves a major feat by meeting the learning needs of aspiring and early-career practitioners while also providing helpful guidance to experienced psychotherapists. The fourth edition covers issues that are crucial for understanding when psychotherapy may be indicated, who may benefit from it, how it may be best implemented, and what type of benefits it may bring--as well as what its limitations are and potential ways to improve it. Leading clinicians and researchers present what is necessary to know about the predominant theoretical orientations of our day. In addition to covering core ingredients of psychotherapy, chapters address cutting-edge issues such as the promotion of evidence-based practices, diversity factors in the richness of human experience, and connections between psychological and physical health."--Louis G. Castonguay, PhD, Liberal Arts Professor of Psychology, The Pennsylvania State University "Messer and Kaslow have done an exceptional job of editing the fourth edition of this much-beloved text. Contributors describe the theory, research, and practice of each psychotherapy with extraordinary depth and forward-thinking clarity. They underscore the implications of new developments and future directions. I strongly recommend this text as truly essential to preparing the next generation of mental health providers in any discipline. Students will go back to the book again and again, and each time will find their thinking about psychotherapy deepened and refined.”--Jennifer L. Callahan, PhD, ABPP, Department of Psychology, University of North Texas "The fourth edition of this text shows the remarkable progress we have made in psychotherapy over the last several decades. The distinguished chapter authors cover the waterfront--from the various psychodynamic and CBT approaches to group, couple, and family therapies. The book's vision of psychotherapy is more like a chorus of remarkable individual voices singing in harmony than the Tower of Babel, as the field is sometimes portrayed. This book is perfect for a foundational course in psychotherapy, and also meets the needs of experienced practitioners who want to stay up to date on the latest theory and evidence-based practice."--Richard F. Summers, MD, ABPN, Department of Psychiatry, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania "Messer and Kaslow have selected seasoned experts to describe the major theories and interventions that have influenced the field of psychotherapy. Each chapter provides a strong theoretical focus and historical context for the treatments, a summary of the available empirical research, conceptualizations of personality, and treatment-specific ethical issues. Detailed case examples nicely depict the differences between therapeutic approaches, as well as multicultural considerations. The suggestions for further reading and recommended videos are particularly useful. For students who are evolving as therapists themselves, the understanding of the field's history and development that this text provides is critically important."--Sandra B.
