Psychotherapy Books

Book SynopsisOriginally published in 1970 this title commemorates the men and ideas that started, inspired and established a pioneer institution in British psychiatry. Based on the impetus of Freudian and related innovations after the First World War, the Tavistock Clinic offered treatment, training and research facilities in the field of neurosis, child guidance and later on group relations.Dr Dicks, who had been associated for nearly forty years with the work and personalities that helped to develop the Tavistock venture, describes the struggles and capacity for survival of the clinic. He shows how, belonging neither to the older classical psychiatry nor to orthodox psychoanalysis, and suspect to both, the Clinic nevertheless became increasingly used by the rest of the profession as a psychotherapeutic resource. Dr Dicks describes the influence of the Tavistock on the medical, psychological and social work scene both before and after the Second World War, and assesses its achievements aTable of ContentsList of Illustrations.

MFT is different from psychology and social work and this book seems to highlight the differences and explains how to market these differences for a job.”—Kristin Koberstein, MA, LMFT, is a licensed marriage & family therapist for University of Rochester Strong Behavioral Health and adjunct faculty member for Keuka College.“This book should be a required reading for every marriage and family therapy student as it provides not only information on the employability of a new MFT, but describes which skills, interests, and personality features are helpful in order to enjoy and prosper in each setting.

This book will finally provide guidance to students and new graduates, providing them with key information that will enlighten them to fulfill their dreams and accomplish their professional goals.”—Elliott Connie, is the author of The Art of Solution Focused Therapy, Solution Building in Couples Therapy, and The Solution Focused Marriage.“This book truly captures the complexity of a successful career in an emotionally-driven field.

Book SynopsisFirst published in 1995. Traumatology, or the field of traumatic stress studies, has become a dominant focus of interest in the mental health fields only in the past decade. Yet the origin of the study of human reactions to traumatic events can be traced to the earliest medical writings in Kunus Pyprus, published in 1900 B.C. in Egypt. Many factors account for the recent emergence of this field, including a growing awareness of the long-term consequences of shocking events. Among these consequences are violence toward others, extraordinary depression, dysfunctional behavior, and a plethora of medical maladies associated with emotional stress. This is the latest in a series of books that have focused on the immediate and long-term consequences of highly stressful events. The purposes of the book, then, are (a) to introduce the concept of compassion fatigue as a natural and disruptive by-product of working with traumatized and troubled clients; (b) to provide a theoretical basis for the Table of ContentsChapter 1 Compassion Fatigue as Secondary Traumatic Stress Disorder: An Overview, Charles R.Figley; Chapter 2 Survival Strategies: A Framework for Understanding Secondary Traumatic Stress and Coping in Helpers, PaulValent; Chapter 3 Working with People in Crisis: Research Implications, Randal D.Beaton, Shirley A.Murphy; Chapter 4 Working with People with PTSD: Research Implications, Mary AnnDutton, Francine L.Rubinstein; Chapter 5 Sensory-Based Therapy for Crisis Counselors, Chrys J.Harris; Chapter 6 Debriefing and Treating Emergency Workers, Susan L.McCammon; Chapter 7 Treating the “Heroic Treaters”, Mary S.Cerney; Chapter 8 Treating Therapists with Vicarious Traumatization and Secondary Traumatic Stress Disorders, Laurie AnnePearlman, Karen W.Saakvitne; Chapter 9 Preventing Secondary Traumatic Stress Disorder, JanetYassen; Chapter 10Preventing Compassion Fatigue: A Team Treatment Model, James F.Munroe, JonathanShay, LisaFisher, ChristineMakary, KathrynRapperport, RoseZimering; Chapter 11 Preventing Institutiona I Secondary Traumatic Stress Disorder, Don R.Catherall; Epilogue: The Transmission of Trauma, Charles R.Figley; Index; Subject Index;

Book SynopsisAppropriate for both sex therapists and art therapists, When Art Therapy Meets Sex Therapy explores sexuality and gender through the use of art making, connecting relevant theories and research from both fields. It begins with a historical review of how explorations of anatomy, physiology, and sexual identity manifested in art making in different cultures and discusses why a clinician must take these spiritual, medical, and socioeconomic factors in account to offer effective and culturally competent therapy. The second part of the book discusses clinically effective treatments in art and sex therapy, and contains numerous case illustrations. Included are interventions for important issues in therapy, such as exploring gender identity, sexual health and shame, processing sexual abuse, couples'' intimacy, parenting concerns regarding their children''s sexuality, and treating sex addiction.Trade Review“Dr. Einat Metzl’s book will invigorate the mental health community’s appreciation of art therapy and sex therapy. Grounded firmly in Metzl’s clinical experience, this comprehensive text illuminates areas critical to conducting effective and culturally competent treatment. It is a vital contribution to the literature, reinforcing the highest standards of professional competence in art therapy and sex therapy.”—Donna Betts, PhD, ATR-BC, board president, the American Art Therapy Association; professor, George Washington University Art Therapy Program, USA“In the book When Art Therapy Meets Sex Therapy, art therapy and sex therapy are a perfect marriage; most therapists will find that the two provide assessment and treatment tools to understand a world that may not be accessible with verbal techniques alone. This book gives a good review of the practices and benefits of art therapy as a way to use an adjunctive therapy to increase creativity and enhance treatment.”—Tammy Nelson, PhD, certified sex therapist, registered art therapist, licensed relationship therapist; author, The New Monogamy and Getting the Sex You Want.“Anyone reading this book will experience an ‘Aha!’ moment as Dr. Einat Metzl brings into focus two seemingly incongruent fields. Written in a style that is both informative and conversational, readers from either discipline—sex or art therapy—will undoubtedly learn something new and essential that can inform their practice. The book is also a great springboard to researchers looking for an area of fruitful investigation.”— Stephanie Buehler, MPW, PsyD, CST-S, psychologist and sex therapist; author, What Every Mental Health Professional Needs to Know about Sex"...Metzl makes a good argument for art therapists learning more about sexuality and becoming more comfortable with talking the talk."— Leonore Tiefer, Certified Sex Therapist, in PsycCRITIQUESTable of ContentsPreface Outline of the Book I: Why Should We Explore Sexuality Creatively? 1.

Book SynopsisPaul Gilbert brings together an international line-up of leading scholars and researchers in the field to provide a state-of-the-art exploration of key areas in compassion research and applications. Compassion can be seen as a core element of prosocial behaviour, and explorations of the concepts and value of compassion have been extended into different aspects of life including physical and psychological therapies, schools, leadership and business.While many animals share abilities to be distress sensitive and caring of others, it is our newly evolved socially intelligent abilities that make us capable of knowingly and deliberately helping others and purposely developing skills and wisdom to do so. This book generates many research questions whilst exploring the similarity and differences of human compassion to non-human caring and looks at how compassion changes the brain and body, affects genetic expression, manifests at a young age and is then cultivated (or Trade Review"This exciting collection of chapters will bring readers up-to-date with the latest developments in compassion research.

Book SynopsisIn 1958, Suzanne and Ezra Vogel embedded themselves in a Tokyo suburban community, interviewing six middle-class families regularly for a year. Their research led to Japan's New Middle Class, a classic work on the sociology of Japan. Now, Suzanne Hall Vogel's compelling sequel traces the evolution of Japanese society over the ensuing decades through the lives of three of these ordinary yet remarkable women and their daughters and granddaughters. Vogel contends that the role of the professional housewife constrained Japanese middle-class women in the postwar eraand yet it empowered them as well. Precisely because of fixed gender roles, with women focusing on the home and children while men focused on work, Japanese housewives had remarkable authority and autonomy within their designated realm. Wives and mothers now have more options than their mothers and grandmothers did, but they find themselves unprepared to cope with this new era of choice. These gripping biographies poignantly illuTrade ReviewThis book is likely to become a standard reference—even a classic—among scholars and students of postwar Japanese social and cultural life. Written toward the end of the author's long and distinguished career as a Harvard psychotherapist and student of Japan (in close alliance with her former husband, the highly regarded Harvard professor Ezra Vogel), her book displays compassion, deep analysis, sensitivity, and humane wisdom not only about Japanese families, but also about Americans interacting with Japanese. The book is organized around three case studies, each with a quite different story to tell in contrast to the others, with very close family and anecdotal details that lead the reader to think of them not as subjects of case studies so much as personal acquaintances. The Vogel's son Steven, a distinguished scholar of Japanese studies at Berkeley, helped his mother with the editing and preparation for an English-language edition. The writing is clear—often even charming—and accessible to readers without much background in Japanese language and culture, although the book will work best for those with some familiarity with the Japanese language and culture in the past sixty years. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All levels/libraries. * CHOICE *The Japanese Family in Transition focuses on the good wives and wise mothers of three of the families featured in Japan’s New Middle Class, and is . . . unfailingly interesting. Most of Vogel’s observations about her subjects—not least that they are different from one another—ring true [in her] skillful and unadorned observation. * Japan Times *[A] detailed portrait not just of Japanese housewives but also the arc of life courses that stretch from Japan’s colonial empire through the new millennium. Framed by two chapters offering analysis and discussion of larger social trends, the bulk of this book consists of extensive and affecting case stories from three women Vogel first met in 1958. Although these women are housewives, and that status deeply impacts the course of their lives, the book captures a tremendous range of their experiences, reflecting sociohistorical and economic particularities, as well as their own personalities. . . . The three life histories at the center of this book each feel like epic narratives, full of the twists and turns that populate most lives, real and fictional. . . .The Japanese Family in Transition will be extremely helpful for scholars looking for cases to illustrate any of a range of social or family norms in twentieth-century Japan. . . .The volume will be a lasting legacy to [the author] and to the people within. * Social Science Japan Journal *The author offers a rich social, cultural and historical context for the concept of the family. For example, readers are made aware that the employment of a live-in maid was once popular among the urban middle class, and the development of the rice-cooker changed the housewife’s daily routine. . . .[T]he stories of the women are written in a deeply personal manner likely to prompt reflection on the part of the reader. * Asian Studies Review *Suzanne Vogel's The Japanese Family in Transition: From the Professional Housewife Ideal to the Dilemmas of Choice is a warm, readable book based on her decades-long relationships with six families from suburban Tokyo. . . .[T]his is an engaging book that many will enjoy reading and find deeply resonant. It is written for a generalist audience and would make a good addition to a course on changing gender roles in Japan or on Japanese society at mid-century. * The Journal of Japanese Studies *A humanely rendered and often poignant exploration of the place of the professional housewife in Japan over the past half-century. Vogel’s study examines the still salient but rapidly waning influence of the post-War sengyō shufu ideal in Japanese society. Drawing on decades of professional and personal interactions with a group of Japanese women and their respective families, Vogel reveals the considerable variation in individual experiences and divergent household trajectories that are often elided under the label, ‘middle class.’. . . The result is an accessibly written monograph that resonates with contemporary studies of Japanese women and family life, while reflecting the rewards and challenges of long ethnographic engagement. * Asian Journal of Social Science *Suzanne Vogel writes in refreshingly clean prose with a remarkably deft handling of history and context: family, gender, work patterns, and the shift in labor relations and the economy. The book is smart and timely. And I like the take-away message—that there is something that people and the government can do. -- Anne Allison, Duke University; author of Permitted and Prohibited Desires: Mothers, Comics, and Censorship in JapanFifty years after the publication of the classic Japan's New Middle Class, Suzanne Vogel has produced a memorable sequel that focuses not on the salarymen but on their wives. It is a warm and engaging portrait of the changes as well as the continuities in Japanese family life. -- William Kelly, Yale University; editor of Fanning the Flames: Fans and Consumer Culture in Contemporary JapanSuzanne Vogel is perfectly placed to offer an important and unique perspective on the changing role of Japanese women. Her compelling portrait of the everyday triumphs and frustrations of Japan’s postwar ‘professional’ housewives offers an important new lens for understanding how the postwar ideal of the ‘perfect household’ and maintaining appearances contributes to the new manifestations of psychological stress we see today. -- Michael Zielenziger, journalist and author of Shutting Out the Sun: How Japan Created Its Own Lost GenerationTable of ContentsChapter 1: The Postwar Ideal Chapter 2: Mrs. Tanaka: Embracing the Role Chapter 3: Mrs. Itou: Resisting the Role Chapter 4: Mrs. Suzuki: Power and Submission Chapter 5: New Strains

Book SynopsisFeaturing in-depth case presentations from master clinicians, this volume highlights the remarkable capacity of traumatized children to guide their own healing process. The book describes what posttraumatic play looks like and how it can foster resilience and coping. Demonstrated are applications of play, art, and other expressive therapies with children who have faced such overwhelming experiences as sexual abuse or chronic neglect. The contributors discuss ways to facilitate forms of expression that promote mastery and growth, as well as how to intervene when play becomes stuck in destructive patterns. They share effective strategies for engaging hard-to-reach children and building trusting therapeutic relationships.Trade Review"Play therapy, the oldest and most popular form of child therapy, is widely considered by practitioners to be uniquely responsive to the needs of children who have experienced interpersonal trauma. This volume offers a wealth of information about the effective use of play-based interventions that honor children’s self-healing strategies. From a renowned expert in the field, this is a valuable resource for beginning and experienced therapists who work with child victims of interpersonal trauma, such as abuse and neglect."--Charles E. Schaefer, PhD, RPT-S, Department of Psychology (Emeritus), Fairleigh Dickinson University"Gil and her contributing authors take us on an amazing journey that captures the creative ways traumatized children find to heal when we meet them in their world, not with language, but with play. The richly detailed cases are filled with unforgettable lessons about how to help children express their private, complex experiences. The book also provides substantial support for those needing to validate the healing power of creative interventions within a trauma-informed context. We will definitely recommend this book to the thousands of professionals the Institute trains yearly. It will be useful for both new and seasoned practitioners."--William Steele, PsyD, MSW, Director, National Institute for Trauma and Loss in Children, Starr Commonwealth Institute for Training"Gil and colleagues provide a warm and insightful description of play-based healing for traumatized children. Compelling case examples illustrate therapeutic principles such as the need to decode children's play behavior and the ways in which play facilitates natural healing processes following trauma. I highly recommend this book for clinicians working with children who have experienced interpersonal trauma--the hope and healing are heartening! As a classroom text, the book would offer students cutting-edge information and clear examples that model advanced clinical skills."--Jennifer Baggerly, PhD, Counselor Education Program, University of South Florida -This is a powerful book on two levels. Its descriptions of the abuse and trauma suffered by children at the hands of those supposed to provide love and care are harrowing. At the same time, it is one of the best advocates for the use of play therapy I have read in a number of years....The clinical focus is on play as a restorative form of non-verbal communication and on play therapy as a distinctive therapeutic form. As such it should prove a useful addition to the library of those services working with traumatized and abused children, as well as to the library of those organizations involved in the training of new practitioners.--Counselling Children and Young People, 8/5/2010ƒƒThe work is presented in a clinical but compassionate tone, providing accounts of incredibly moving therapy sessions, discussions of treatment, and references for further reading.

Book SynopsisHighly practical and accessible, this book shows how to synthesize complex information about child and adolescent mental health problems into clinically useful, dynamic case formulations. Strategies and tools are provided for analyzing the biological, psychological, social, cultural, spiritual, and developmental factors that may be contributing to the difficulties of clients ages 4-18. Numerous case examples illustrate the steps in crafting a comprehensive formulation and using it to plan effective, individualized treatment. Strategies for overcoming frequently encountered pitfalls in case formulation are highlighted throughout.Trade Review"Finally! This book will revive the vanishing skill of gathering multi-source clinical information and integrating it into a comprehensive formulation to guide culturally and developmentally sensitive biopsychosocial treatment. Manassis brings extensive clinical experience to her dedication to evidence-based mental health practice. This book should be required reading for all clinicians who aspire to provide optimal treatment for children and their families."--Mina K. Dulcan, MD, Professor of Psychiatry and Pediatrics, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine; Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago "Child clinicians often struggle to form cogent case conceptualizations. Now their struggle is over! This expertly crafted, comprehensive guide is replete with charts, diagrams, and case examples to help both experienced and beginning clinicians paint rich conceptual portraits. Most important, Manassis's work is developmentally sensitive, culturally attuned, links treatment to formulation, and teaches clinicians to collaboratively share their conceptualization with young patients and their families. I will keep this book close to my desk for ready reference."--Robert D. Friedberg, PhD, ABPP, Professor and Director, Center for the Study and Treatment of Anxious Youth, Palo Alto University "Manassis has an exceptional talent for illuminating key concepts through insightful yet concise clinical examples.

Book SynopsisAn important work from a leading scholar, this book explores self-development from early childhood to adulthood. Susan Harter traces the normative stages that define the emergence of many self-processes, including self-esteem. She also addresses individual differences and societal influences on self-development. Presenting pioneering empirical research, Harter shows that increasingly mature features of the self have both benefits and liabilities for psychological adjustment. The book highlights the causes and consequences of different types of self-representations, including those that are unrealistically negative or positive. New to This Edition *Reflects more than a decade of conceptual, empirical, and methodological advances. *Provides a broader sociocultural framework for understanding self-development. *Chapters on emerging adulthood, self-esteem and physical appearance, self-processes in the classroom, motivation, cross-cultural issues, and the quest for auTrade Review"Like the prior edition, this volume provides the most comprehensive and forward-looking overview of scholarship and theory on the construction of the self. The second edition is a major step forward--much exciting new work has been done in this area in the last 10 years. Harter offers a masterful summary and critique of this work; even more important, she gives us strong and insightful guidance for the future. Everyone interested in the construction of the self should read this book. It is an outstanding resource for seasoned researchers as well as an essential guide for young scholars entering the field and launching their research careers."--Jacquelynne S. Eccles, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Education, University of California, Irvine "In The Construction of the Self, Second Edition, Harter shows again why she has been the preeminent scholar in child and adolescent development for over four decades. Weaving together new theoretical insights with a far-ranging review of diverse research literatures, Harter provides a masterful look at the processes through which cognitive changes and personal experiences combine to influence self-views, which in turn underlie broader patterns of social and psychological development. Harter’s perspectives on adaptive and maladaptive trajectories of self-development provide an important framework for promoting self-views that buttress positive relationships and psychological well-being."--Mark R. Leary, PhD, Department of Psychology and Neuroscience, Duke University "Harter surveys the struggle for a sense of identity and worth that individuals face from youth to old age. She offers an in-depth description of how families and cultures shape our self-concepts, and how so many of these adopted identities hamper personal growth and connectedness. On topics from motivation to mindfulness, this second edition offers both solid wisdom and new insights. Harter is truly one of developmental psychology’s luminaries."--Richard M. Ryan, PhD, Institute for Positive Psychology and Education, Australian Catholic University; Department of Clinical and Social Sciences in Psychology, University of Rochester "I have relied on The Construction of the Self as a required foundational text for my Social and Personality Development course for more than a decade, through two editions. I have found it to be the most theoretically comprehensive text on how the self develops over time, while also offering powerful and insightful practical applications. Favorite concepts with which my students and I love to engage from the Harter text include conditional positive regard and self-esteem, true-self versus false-self behavior, authenticity of self, individualistic and collectivistic cultures, the cultural self, I-self and Me-self, the looking-glass self, the personal fable, scaffolding--and the list goes on. This is a comprehensive text that brings together the self, personality, the lifespan, and interesting and diverse ecological systems, in one 440-page treasure chest!"--Michelle R. Dunlap, PhD, Department of Human Development, Connecticut College - The development of the self is a complex—sometimes difficult to comprehend—process, not easily explained by simplistic models. This book has a sophistication, empirical grounding, and clinical savvy that make it an essential book for therapists interested in individual construction of the self. --Journal of Cognitive Psychotherapy, 3/8/2012ƒƒAs has been the case throughout most of Harter's distinguished career, the emphasis is on the developmental nature of self.

It should be required reading for students and professionals in mental health and community services, as well as others who seek to improve the lives of families.

Book SynopsisDoes toxic pollution cause attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)? What about screen use? Are alternative treatments worth exploring? Can dietary changes help? From leading ADHD researcher Joel T. Nigg, this book presents exciting treatment advances grounded in the new science of epigenetics--how genes and the environment interact. Distinguishing unsupported, even dangerous, approaches from bona fide breakthroughs, Dr. Nigg describes specific lifestyle changes that have been proven to support the developing brain. Vivid stories illustrate ways to maximize the positive effects of healthy nutrition, exercise, and sleep, and minimize the damage from stress and other known risk factors. The book helps you figure out which options hold the most promise for improving your child's symptoms and overall well-being--and gives you step-by-step suggestions for integrating them into daily life.Trade Review"How can you stay abreast of the rapidly growing research base on ADHD and its treatment, when even clinical professionals can't keep up? Simple--read this book! Dr. Nigg is a foremost clinical scientist with a talent for making complex ideas digestible. He explains what is currently known about the causes of ADHD, and, more important, offers numerous insights and recommendations for how to find the best treatment for your unique child.”--Russell A. Barkley, PhD, ABPP, ABCN, author of Taking Charge of ADHD "What a great resource for current knowledge on the relationship between ADHD and diet, exercise, sleep, technology, and other hugely important topics. And it’s all distilled down into nuggets of practical advice and genuinely doable action plans. Every parent of a child with ADHD should read this book."--Peg Dawson, EdD, coauthor of Smart but Scattered "Thank you, Dr. Nigg! As a parent of a child with ADHD, I found this book tremendously valuable as well as enjoyable to read. It condenses the best current research into practical advice. After using some of this advice, I see a noticeable reduction in my child's irritability. I will definitely recommend this book to other parents who are looking for expert guidance."--Laura S., Michigan "Dr. Nigg presents a new understanding of ADHD that reveals how both genes and environment shape the disorder. He reviews the pros and cons of diet, exercise, and other novel treatments, helping you choose among a wide range of options for your child. Misinformation about ADHD abounds--this book separates facts from fiction."--Stephen V. Faraone, PhD, Distinguished Professor and Vice Chair for Research, Department of Psychiatry, State University of New York Upstate Medical University "This refreshingly commonsense book is outstanding in several ways--it is timely, relevant, comprehensive, balanced, and practical."--L. Eugene Arnold, MD, MEd, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health (Emeritus), The Ohio State University College of Medicine "As a parent who has read every book on the subject, I tried everything to help my son with ADHD. I made him feel like a lab rat and wasted time, energy, and money. If I could turn back time, this one book would sit on my nightstand. It is so nice to have a vision for a bright future alongside realistic, meaningful actions we can take right now. Getting Ahead of ADHD gives me the confidence and tools I need to make wise decisions."--Marie B., Oregon "Extraordinary! This book offers an efficient summary that brings you up to speed on the science of ADHD. Dr. Nigg helps you make decisions for your child based on science, rather than fads or the latest trends in the media. I will recommend this book to all parents in our clinic."--Julie Sarno Owens, PhD, Professor of Psychology and Co-Director, Center for Intervention Research in Schools, Ohio University -Throughout, Nigg links scientific findings with concrete treatment recommendations and take-home points.

Book SynopsisAn authoritative handbook, this volume offers both a comprehensive review of the current science of mindfulness and a guide to its ongoing evolution. Leading scholars explore mindfulness in the context of contemporary psychological theories of attention, perceptual processing, motivation, and behavior, as well as within a rich cross-disciplinary dialogue with the contemplative traditions. After surveying basic research from neurobiological, cognitive, emotional/affective, and interpersonal perspectives, the book delves into applications of mindfulness practice in healthy and clinical populations, reviewing a growing evidence base. Examined are interventions for behavioral and emotion dysregulation disorders, depression, anxiety, and addictions, and for physical health conditions.Trade Review"Although psychologists were 2,500 years late to recognize the benefits of mindfulness, behavioral scientists and practitioners have made immense strides in understanding this important process. Drawing from work across the domains of psychology, this volume examines the psychological processes that underlie mindfulness, comprehensively reviews basic research, and describes mindfulness-based interventions for specific populations. The book makes an exceptional contribution as it summarizes the current state of knowledge, offers ideas for future research, and paves the way toward even more effective interventions."--Mark R. Leary, PhD, Department of Psychology and Neuroscience, Duke University "With the exponential growth of mindfulness science over the past 30 years, this book offers a timely and inclusive snapshot of how we now define mindfulness and how it might work, the ways it integrates with current psychological theory, and how it is being applied to help improve well-being and reduce suffering. For clinicians and researchers newly interested in mindfulness, this book will provide a thorough review. For those with more experience in this area, too, the volume will most certainly provide refreshing insights and perspectives."--Mark A. Lau, PhD, Vancouver CBT Center and Department of Psychiatry, University of British Columbia, Canada "Finally, the most comprehensive work on mindfulness! This handbook sums up the current state of the research and clinical applications and offers insightful discussions of multiple aspects of mindfulness. The chapters are written in a clear and interesting fashion by highly respected experts. This is useful reading for advanced students in psychology and cognitive sciences as well as health care professionals, and will be 'unputdownable' for anyone interested in learning more about mindfulness. I wholeheartedly recommend this excellent book."--Britta Hölzel, PhD, Harvard Medical School/Massachusetts General Hospital and Department of Neuroradiology, Technical University of Munich, Germany "The mindfulness literature is growing so fast that keeping up can seem impossible. This volume helps tremendously. Ancient Buddhist teachings and their relationship to contemporary Western scientific approaches are thoughtfully discussed. Theoretical viewpoints, measurement issues, and basic research findings on the brain, cognition, and emotion are covered in depth, as are mindfulness-based interventions for healthy individuals and those with mental and physical health problems. This is an outstanding volume from a distinguished group of contributors."--Ruth A. Baer, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Kentucky "A welcome and needed addition to the burgeoning literature of mindfulness. Readers get a solid grasp of the historical roots and current applications of mindfulness and are introduced to psychological models--both well established and more recent--that provide a context for understanding the effects of contemplative practices on body, brain, and mind. Various levels of analysis are provided, including neurobiological, cognitive, affective and psychological perspectives. The emphasis on empirical research and reasoned argument will make this volume an invaluable text for graduate-level courses."--Tony Toneatto, PhD, Department of Psychiatry, University of Toronto, Canada -This is one of the most thorough books on mindfulness to date that I am aware of, with relevant and essential input of well-respected experts. It is a valued contribution, which summarizes not only the current state of knowledge, but provides some useful ideas for the next steps in mindfulness research.--Private Practice, 7/1/2016ƒƒ[The] Handbook of Mindfulness: Theory, Research, and Practice is an easy read that is tailored to those who are novices in exploring this timely topic. It would be most helpful to researchers who wish to have a compact volume that summarizes all aspects of the state of the art of meditation for mental health professionals….Because of the breadth examined, it would be an excellent choice for a textbook….Supervising clinicians who wish to quickly access common terms, themes, and clinical applications related to meditation as well as overviews of common mindfulness-based therapies would be satisfied. Content would be readable for trainees from the practicum to postdoctoral level of these well written and relatively brief 'meta-analyses' of sorts.--PsycCRITIQUES, 9/28/2015ƒƒThis book appears to be a major feat in the industry…seldom does one see something this complete, detailed, well balanced by the editors, informative, solid, and reliable in not pandering to the spiritual, but rather in answering the questions it set out to address: the nature of the theory, research, and practice of mindful interventions. It belongs on your shelf.--Metapsychology Online Reviews, 8/18/2015ƒƒImpressive….Highly recommended. Graduate students, researchers, professionals.--Choice Reviews, 8/1/2015Table of Contents1.

I'm not aware of any other book that balances practical detail and theoretical insight in such an accessible and engaging style. Taibbi has the rare ability to synthesize rich clinical wisdom with cutting-edge research into an easy-to-understand therapeutic model. This is a book by a clinician for clinicians, informed by solid theory and research. I plan on using this second edition as a text in my master's- and doctoral-level couple therapy courses. I also recommend it to established clinicians beginning couple therapy, or couple therapists who want to take their practice to the next level."--Sean D. Davis, PhD, LMFT, Couple and Family Therapy Program, Alliant International University"Couple therapy requires a whole different skill set than individual therapy. Taibbi masterfully simplifies the confusing morass that couple therapy can be. He culls pragmatic techniques from several approaches and presents them in a clear and well-illustrated way. This is very useful wisdom from a veteran couple therapist."--Richard C. Schwartz, PhD, Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School/Cambridge Health Alliance"Taibbi offers an extraordinarily practical introduction to what is arguably the most challenging therapeutic modality. Using down-to-earth language and terms, this book walks readers through a comprehensive, step-by-step approach to working with couples. Taibbi offers a flexible system for conceptualizing couple dynamics and outlines each phase of therapy in great detail. The 'Looking Within' questions at the end of each chapter are especially useful in classroom settings to address self-of-the-therapist issues unique to the practice of couple therapy.

Book SynopsisProviding tools to enhance treatment of any clinical problem, this book shows how integrating motivational interviewing (MI) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can lead to better client outcomes than using either approach on its own. The authors demonstrate that MI strategies are ideally suited to boost client motivation and strengthen the therapeutic relationship, whether used as a pretreatment intervention or throughout the course of CBT. User-friendly features include extensive sample dialogues, learning exercises for practitioners, and 35 reproducible client handouts that can be downloaded and printed in a convenient 8 1/2 x 11 size. This book is in the Applications of Motivational Interviewing series, edited by Stephen Rollnick, William R. Miller, and Theresa B. Moyers.Trade Review"With this book, the integration of MI and CBT takes a leap forward. Behavior therapists have, I believe, paid far too little attention to the substantial impact of interpersonal skills and the therapeutic relationship in shaping treatment engagement, retention, adherence, and outcome….Person-centered advocates could, in turn, be faulted for paying too little attention to empirical science in recent decades….Perhaps MI and CBT are like oil and water. My junior chemistry project in high school was a study of emulsifying agents that make it possible to blend oil and water. It was a portent of things to come. This book is an emulsifier."--from the Foreword by William R. Miller, PhD, Emeritus Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry, The University of New Mexico; codeveloper of MI "An excellent resource. Rightly noting that CBT is hard work, the authors provide concrete strategies to capitalize on clients' own reasons for changing, while also avoiding the power struggles that can arise. As a clinical supervisor, I will recommend this book to my trainees as essential reading."--Shannon Sauer-Zavala, PhD, Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders and Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, Boston University "This clear, concise, practical guide arms the clinician with the background required to intelligently integrate MI principles into a CBT formulation and apply MI techniques alongside CBT techniques in treatment. The authors have significant expertise, which they share in a highly readable, usable format. The book is filled with helpful illustrative examples and guides the reader through the steps without being overwhelming. A 'must have' for any clinician who wishes to apply MI in the context of CBT."--Christine Purdon, PhD, CPsych, Professor and Director of Clinical Training, Department of Psychology, University of Waterloo, Canada "Integrating MI into CBT is one of the most exciting and promising areas for improving the treatment of psychological disorders, but answers to questions of 'How?', 'When?', and 'How much?' were difficult to find until now. Naar and Safren present know-how and guidance to help the clinician conceptualize and effectively work with real-world clients who are struggling with competing motivations and fluctuating ambivalence and commitment. Packed with essential learning activities and reproducible tools, this book is an essential contribution to any mental health practitioner’s library. I will be recommending it as a text for our introductory doctoral-level 'how to do psychotherapy' unit or one of our more specialized advanced CBT units."--Peter J. Norton, PhD, Cairnmillar Institute, Melbourne, Australia “This is a unique contribution to the literature on CBT training and practice. There are excellent clinical examples and exercises targeting collaborative communication that would be extremely useful for instructors to review with early-career clinicians. The text addresses conflicts between CBT and MI and suggests ways to resolve them. The guidelines and activities it gives practitioners and trainees are accessible and clear.”--Donna M. Sudak, MD, Professor of Psychiatry, Senior Associate Training Director, and Director of Psychotherapy Training, Drexel University College of Medicine -This book integrates two excellent therapeutic approaches, motivational interviewing and CBT. It is easy to read and very practical, containing handouts that can be used with clients.

Book SynopsisGrounded in extensive research and clinical experience, this book describes how to adapt mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) for participants who struggle with recurrent suicidal thoughts and impulses. Clinicians and mindfulness teachers are presented with a comprehensive framework for understanding suicidality and its underlying vulnerabilities. The preliminary intake interview and each of the eight group mindfulness sessions of MBCT are discussed in detail, highlighting issues that need to be taken into account with highly vulnerable people. Assessment guidelines are provided and strategies for safely teaching core mindfulness practices are illustrated with extensive case examples. The book also discusses how to develop the required mindfulness teacher skills and competencies. Purchasers get access to a companion website featuring downloadable audio recordings of the guided mindfulness practices, narrated by Zindel Segal, Mark Williams, and John Teasdale. (Published in hardTrade Review"The book is the culmination of an ambitious decade-long effort to develop and refine an effective treatment for the subgroup of depressed patients who are most susceptible to suicidal behavior--those with histories of early maltreatment, an early onset, recurrent episodes, and incomplete recovery. The authors comprehensively present their adaptation of MBCT, provide guidelines for training and supervision, and summarize the results of a recent clinical trial. This is useful and fascinating material for clinicians treating this highly challenging group of patients."--Daniel N. Klein, PhD, Department of Psychology, Stony Brook University "MBCT has established an admirable track record for preventing relapse into depression. But can a program based on mindfulness meditation be safely applied to people suffering from vulnerability to suicide? The authors take us on a scholarly and compassionate journey that lasted over a decade, pointing out the specific adaptations they made to the MBCT program and why. This book represents an important advance for mindfulness-based psychotherapy, an impressive model for how to develop an evidence-based treatment, and a rich resource for anyone who wishes to understand and treat the dilemma of suicide."--Christopher Germer, PhD, private practice, Arlington, Massachusetts "This book examines despair and suicidality with a keen eye. It is a beautiful illustration of how to bring astute observation to an important clinical problem and develop and test a theory-based intervention. The authors present an innovative adaptation of MBCT that helps individuals uncouple suicidality from depressed mood, decrease cognitive reactivity and suicidal thinking, and increase awareness and self-compassion. Importantly, their research demonstrates the particular effectiveness of this approach for the most vulnerable, those who experienced childhood trauma."--Stuart J. Eisendrath, MD, Director, UCSF Depression Center, University of California, San Francisco "Taking up a sensitive and painful topic, this book lays out a comprehensive course for helping suicidal patients using MBCT. Williams et al. explain suicidality through evolutionary logic and grapple directly with the most treacherous aspects of working with this population. The authors argue that MBCT helps to make autobiographical memories more specific, thus addressing a crucial vulnerability factor in suicidality. The volume covers a lot of ground. It provides multiple mindfulness and movement exercises aimed to reduce suicidal thoughts and restore patients on a path of well-being."--Elliot Jurist, Professor of Psychology and Philosophy, The Graduate Center and the City College of New York, City University of New York “Extremely accessible, informative, and engaging, this outstanding book is a 'must read' for anyone with an interest in understanding suicidal despair and its treatment. It is unusual in a single volume to find such a comprehensive description of the science of suicide risk as well as a detailed overview of how to adapt and implement MBCT. The inclusion of the case studies, such as 'Jane's story,' is really helpful."--Rory C. O’Connor, PhD, Director, Suicidal Behaviour Research Laboratory, University of Glasgow, United Kingdom "The authors describe their work with clients who need the best help possible, but who are often excluded from research trials and treatment programs. They discuss how they sensitively adapted the MBCT program to address such problems as the originally high dropout rate of people at the highest risk of suicide. The reward is clear: those who are most vulnerable do best with this adapted version of MBCT, compared to treatment as usual and psychoeducation. I truly hope this program becomes available to all who need it."--Susan Bögels, PhD, Department of Medical, Clinical, and Experimental Psychology, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands-This book is a very helpful addition to the literature on treatment of patients experiencing suicidal ideation and depression. The authors present a wealth of clinical, teaching, and research information to appeal to clinicians and train them to incorporate mindfulness and cognitive restructuring--within a positive, compassionate stance--to assist clients with significant depression. The informative and easygoing writing style makes the material easy to digest. The rich description of what to do, with examples, makes this book easy to read and absorb so that clinicians can incorporate the techniques in their work with clients.--Mindfulness, 6/26/2017ƒƒThroughout the book there are helpful summary boxes of key points and examples of dialogue to illustrate examples--this helped immensely to make this book very reader friendly….This book would be helpful for any clinician working with clients who present with these difficulties and offers a new, innovative way to effectively work with people who experience acute distress and suffering.--The Psychologist, 6/1/2016ƒƒTeachers of mindfulness-based interventions, both those who are interested in using MBCT with individuals at risk for suicidal thinking and behavior and those who are less inclined to work with such individuals, will benefit from reading this engaging, informative, and accessible book. For the general teacher, the book offers practical, clearly articulated material to increase competency….For the teacher interested in using this adapted version of MBCT to treat individuals at risk of suicidal depression, the book provides a clear and comprehensive review of the protocol changes that were made to tailor the treatment for this population. Moreover, the detailed description of the authors' theoretically and empirically based conceptualization of suicidal behavior clarifies the purposes of and rationale for the various techniques of adapted MBCT.--PsycCRITIQUES, 12/21/2015Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisA leading text for courses that go beyond the basics of family systems theory, intervention techniques, and diversity, this influential work has now been significantly revised with 65% new material. The volume explores how family relationships--and therapy itself--are profoundly shaped by race, social class, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and other intersecting dimensions of marginalization and privilege. Chapters from leading experts guide the practitioner to challenge assumptions about family health and pathology, understand the psychosocial impact of oppression, and tap into clients' cultural resources for healing. Practical clinical strategies are interwoven with theoretical insights, case examples, training ideas, and therapists' reflections on their own cultural and family legacies. New to This Edition *Existing chapters have been thoroughly updated and 21 chapters added, expanding the perspectives in the book. *Reflects over a decade of theoretical andTrade Review"This outstanding, transformative book views family therapy through a multicultural perspective, encompassing ethnicity, social class, race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and spirituality. It contains the cultural legacies and rich personal stories of therapists who share their experiences with suffering, oppression, and, most powerfully, resilience. The third edition is a rich resource that should be required reading in every graduate program in our field. It presents an in-depth discussion of the most current, important clinical issues, and conveys with deep compassion a vision for the future."--Nancy Boyd-Franklin, PhD, Distinguished Professor, Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey "The uniformly excellent chapters in this book make abundantly clear that the goal in learning about families and diversity is not to achieve some static level of 'cultural competence,' but, rather, to adopt a spirit of humility, excitement, and respectful curiosity about the lives of others. The third edition represents the next step in our field's understanding of diversity and of the forces that promote--or, more often, impede--social justice. A major focus is on the self of the therapist and the core ingredients of a healing, empowering therapeutic relationship. This spectacular book should be read by students at all levels of training, as well as by established mental health professionals."--Peter Fraenkel, PhD, Department of Psychology, The City College of the City University of New York "This essential volume highlights the critical intersection of family therapy and culture. I find the emphasis on sociocultural trauma in the third edition to be especially relevant to our times. Family therapists and those in training will benefit tremendously from this timely update."--Ling Lam, PhD, lecturer, Counseling Psychology Department, Santa Clara University "This volume offers crucial and immensely practical insights for promoting diversity competence among clinicians. I am grateful to be able to use the third edition in my courses and training seminars on couple and family therapy, as the contributors integrate textured intersectional perspectives with self-of-the-therapist transparency and clinical wisdom. We desperately need many more clinicians who embody a measure of the diversity knowledge, awareness, and skill revealed in this volume. This is a book I will repeatedly study and one that is informing my own diversity competence growth plan."--Steven J. Sandage, PhD, LP, Albert and Jessie Danielsen Institute, Boston University "Without candy-coating the social injustices witnessed in our daily newsfeeds, this classic work invites hope for the next generation of therapists and the families they serve. The third edition reminds us that transformation must touch every level of human interaction; in particular, lessons of intersectionality abound, with the caution not to silo people into simple categories. New and revised chapters come from cutting-edge thinkers who communicate clinical wisdom in sociocultural contexts, often through the power of personal story. Suitable for graduate-level courses, this text makes a significant contribution."--Claudia Grauf-Grounds, PhD, LMFT, Professor Emerita, Department of Marriage and Family Therapy, Seattle Pacific University "Giving the student, therapist, and supervisor access to a diverse range of clinical voices, this text maps the terrain of culture, privilege, oppression, and resilience. In the third edition, McGoldrick and Hardy have brought together stellar contributors to encourage an ever-expanding dialogue. By situating lived experience as a valid starting point for systemic reflection, this book widens the scope of what may be considered evidence of strength, marks of oppression, and signs of overcoming in family relationships. It guides us to notice and draw from the rich personal and systemic wells that influence the therapeutic conversation and compel us to pursue societal change."--Sharon Y. Ramsay, MDiv, RP, RMFT, private practice, Toronto, Canada -McGoldrick and Hardy have done it again with this third edition of their book on family therapy. As excellent as the first two editions (1998 and 2008), this update is needed because of all the multicultural changes we see around us….Clearly written with practitioners in mind, this is an excellent guide for students training to become family therapists at the master's or doctoral level. It is also invaluable for clinicians in the trenches working with marginalized populations….The authors are more than well known nationally and internationally in the field of family therapy; they are living legends and role models for past and future generations of clinicians working with families.--Doody's Review Service, 8/30/2019Table of ContentsI.

See also Rathus and Miller's DBT Skills Manual for Adolescents, packed with tools fTrade Review"An excellent, practical book on a very difficult-to-treat and neglected population: teens with multiple and severe psychiatric disorders, mood dysregulation, and recurrent suicidal and/or self-harming behaviors. This book is recommended for students, psychologists, social workers, psychiatric residents, psychiatrists, and other professionals dealing with mental health issues in teenagers. Also, this book is an outstanding resource for researchers evaluating the efficacy of Dialectical Behavior Therapy for teenagers."--Boris Birmaher MD, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center "This book is extremely relevant for therapists working with adolescents who engage in suicidal and other high-risk behaviors. In addition to providing an efficacious and easily understood manualized approach for this population, it offers many valuable tips for building a strong therapeutic alliance with this challenging population."--Lynn Ponton, MD, University of California, San Francisco "Outstanding. This book represents a major contribution to the prevention of adolescent suicide. It is extensively detailed to inform clinicians about the applications of this effective psychosocial treatment for adolescents who present with specific risk factors. Written by pioneering developers of DBT, this book is essential reading for mental health professionals at every level of experience and training."--Cynthia R. Pfeffer, MD, Department of Psychiatry, Weill Medical College of Cornell University "This book offers the latest thinking on core elements of DBT while illustrating important strategies specific to treating adolescents. The authors' skill and expertise with this population shine, making this an essential manual for DBT practitioners and administrators working with adolescents."--André Ivanoff, PhD, Columbia University School of Social Work "Humane, practical, and erudite. The authors, through their dialectical approach, provide a theoretical framework that allows for an efficient, realistic, and parsimonious approach to the core difficulties in multiple health-risk behaviors in youth. Most important, they provide clear guidelines as to how therapists should conduct themselves to be maximally effective with these challenging adolescents, and how to cope with the emotional demands of work with this population. What the reader will learn is that DBT is more than a set of skills and techniques--it is a way of understanding and conceptualizing human behavior. This book should be read by every professional who works with multiproblem teens."--David A.

Book SynopsisNegative, distorted self-images are a key feature of social anxiety disorder (SAD)--and working with imagery can make cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) more effective for those who struggle with this debilitating problem. This book presents an innovative modular framework that incorporates vivid multisensory imagery into all aspects of treatment. Step-by-step guidance for implementing this evidence-based approach with individuals or groups is illustrated with rich case material. In a large-size format for easy photocopying, the book includes 35 reproducible worksheets and handouts. Purchasers get access to a Web page where they can download and print the reproducible materials.Trade Review"An excellent work that covers the most up-to-date research on and treatment for SAD. What sets this book apart is its emphasis on imagery, an aspect of CBT that many practitioners neglect in both their conceptualizations and treatment. Identifying and responding to relevant spontaneous images and inducing images for therapeutic effect can help clients change their cognitions at the emotional level. Therapists of any level of experience will find this book useful in constructing personal models of anxiety, focusing on the six maintaining factors of the disorder. The many case examples, session transcripts, and reproducible worksheets are valuable."--Judith S. Beck, PhD, President, Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavior Therapy "Recent years have seen an explosion of interest in mental imagery among practitioners and scientists alike. Even our best psychological treatments do not work for everyone, and we need to improve our techniques. Research on the mental imagery enhancements described in this book suggests they increase treatment completion rates and reduce symptoms. McEvoy, Saulsman, and Rapee are pioneering experts who are well positioned to integrate imagery innovations with existing evidence-based treatments. This volume is a 'must have' for all interested in expanding their clinical skills by adding mental imagery techniques to their toolboxes. The authors are to be commended for a most exciting book!"--Emily A. Holmes, DClinPsy, PhD, Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Karolinska Institutet, Sweden "This excellent book provides an intervention for individuals (or groups) with SAD that builds well on general CBT practice. The authors make a compelling case for the integration of imagery-based procedures as a means to increase the emotional impact of typical CBT procedures. They lay out their approach in a systematic and detailed but entirely accessible manner, which should be of great utility to novice clinicians and seasoned veterans alike."--Richard G. Heimberg, PhD, Department of Psychology and Director, Adult Anxiety Clinic of Temple, Temple University "This is a wonderful, much-needed volume written by authors highly respected for their research on and treatment for SAD. The book provides a cogent rationale for the benefits of incorporating imagery-based interventions in therapy and presents a step-by-step description of each phase of an empirically validated imagery-enhanced CBT protocol. Case examples, detailed scripts, and downloadable worksheets and handouts are included. A particularly welcome feature is the emphasis on treatment process. Straightforward and clearly organized, the book provides exemplary guidance for professionals, including those with only introductory knowledge of CBT. I will use this book in my graduate CBT seminars, as well as in our training clinic."--Lynn E. Alden, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of British Columbia, Canada -Table of ContentsI.

Book SynopsisNow completely revised (over 90% new), this handbook established the concept of competence as an organizing framework for the field of achievement motivation. With an increased focus on connecting theory to application, the second edition incorporates diverse perspectives on why and how individuals are motivated to work toward competence in school, work, sports, and other settings. Leading authorities present cutting-edge findings on the psychological, sociocultural, and biological processes that shape competence motivation across development, analyzing the role of intelligence, self-regulated learning, emotions, creativity, gender and racial stereotypes, self-perceptions, achievement values, parenting practices, teacher behaviors, workplace environments, and many other factors. As a special bonus, purchasers of the second edition can download a supplemental e-book featuring several notable, highly cited chapters from the first edition. New to This Edition *Most chaptersTrade Review"You are holding in your hands a complete encyclopedia of current thinking on motivation and, more generally, the psychology of achievement. I cannot imagine a more esteemed group of authors to guide readers through the fundamentals of this area--and right up to the cutting edge."--Angela Duckworth, PhD, Founder and Scientific Director, Character Lab; Christopher H. Browne Distinguished Professor of Psychology, University of Pennsylvania "Like the first edition of this handbook, the second edition brings together the world's greatest experts on competence motivation to provide readers with the most important ideas and recent discoveries. Andit does something else that is new to this edition and very significant: it discusses exciting applications in key domains of everyday life, including education, business, and athletics. More than ever, this is a 'must-read' handbook for researchers, practitioners, and students."--E. Tory Higgins, PhD, Stanley Schachter Professor of Psychology and Professor of Business, Columbia University "This is a worthy and stunning sequel to the first edition, and much more than an update. Completely new chapters on core topics in motivation capture significant advances over the past decade. The coverage of intervention in each chapter is notable and refreshing. I can hardly wait to use this volume in my graduate seminar on motivation, where the topics of application and practice are always underlying themes. This handbook is the best evidence to date that the field of motivation is alive and well, and that it provides a valuable framework for addressing complex, real-world challenges, such as the racial achievement gap and the underrepresentation of women in STEM fields. Kudos to the editors and chapter authors for assuring the continued vitality of our field."--Sandra Graham, PhD, Distinguished Professor and UC Presidential Chair in Education and Diversity, Department of Education, University of California, Los Angeles "The second edition improves on its terrific predecessor with its deliberate attention to interventions that can promote achievement in schools and workplaces, making this volume extremely valuable to a broad audience of students, educators, and practitioners. The contributors are the most influential scholars in the field of motivation science. They provide critical perspectives on competence and motivation, with an eye toward both history and new frontiers."--Joshua Aronson, PhD, Associate Professor of Applied Psychology and Director, Mindful Education Lab, New York University -Each contributor is able to present his or her area of expertise, while at the same time making it clear why competence is important to that area....May very well be an essential addition to any motivation researcher's library, and it would also make a wonderful text for either an advanced seminar or a graduate course dedicated to the topic of motivation.

Book SynopsisAn innovative treatment approach with a strong empirical evidence base, brief cognitive-behavioral therapy for suicide prevention (BCBT) is presented in step-by-step detail in this authoritative manual. Leading treatment developers show how to establish a strong collaborative relationship with a suicidal patient, assess risk, and immediately work to establish safety. Proven interventions are described for building emotion regulation and crisis management skills and dismantling the patient's suicidal belief system. The book includes case examples, sample dialogues, and 17 reproducible handouts, forms, scripts, and other clinical tools. The large-size format facilitates photocopying; purchasers also get access to a webpage where they can download and print the reproducible materials.Trade Review"There are very few treatments specifically designed to reduce suicide risk. From leading figures in the field of suicide prevention, this is a timely, extremely useful book. Bryan and Rudd's evidence-based approach is accessible to any clinician trained in general principles of CBT. This book should be on the shelf of any CBT practitioner who sees patients with suicide ideation or attempts."--E. David Klonsky, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of British Columbia, Canada "This is the definitive handbook for suicide prevention--it outlines the most effective treatment for reducing suicide attempts developed to date. BCBT is supported by solid scientific evidence emanating from the largest-ever clinical trials targeting high-risk suicidal patients. The book provides extensive details on the functional analysis of suicidal behavior--directly targeting suicidal thoughts and behaviors as the primary outcome--unlike typical approaches targeting psychiatric diagnoses or symptoms. A 'must read' for all behavioral health counselors."--Alan L. Peterson, PhD, ABPP, Krus Endowed Chair in Psychiatry; Director, STRONG STAR Consortium; and Director, Consortium to Alleviate PTSD, University of Texas Health Care Science Center at San Antonio "Rather than focusing on some other diagnosis such as depression, Bryan and Rudd’s functional model of suicide prevention focuses on the suicidal behavior itself, with simple-to-apply, short-term CBT skills. This manual represents the most recent and effective effort in the evolution of treatments to reduce suicidal risk, and should be taught to and used by all clinicians for this most serious and increasingly frequent problem. This is a book that every therapist should have.”--Patricia A. Resick, PhD, ABPP, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Duke University Medical School "Bryan and Rudd have written an exceptionally detailed book that provides a step-by-step guide for the care of individuals at risk for suicide. Why should you learn BCBT? Because you will become equipped with specific CBT strategies that will make you not only more confident as a clinician, but also more effective in helping your suicidal patients regain their desire to live and thrive."--Marjan G. Holloway, PhD, faculty member, Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavior Therapy -This is an excellent clinician guide for implementing brief cognitive-behavioral therapy for suicide prevention. The rationale is solid and accompanied by salient and user-friendly materials. Having this structured approach to an intense situation can help increase clinician confidence and patient outcomes. *****!--Doody's Review Service, 10/05/2018Table of ContentsI.

Book SynopsisThis established text--now revised and updated--reveals how spoken language skills are acquired and how they affect childrenâs later reading and writing achievement. With a unique focus on the needs of educators, the book examines the foundations of language in the developing brain. It explores the relationship of language processes to core literacy skills and probes the impact of motivational and sociocultural factors on childrenâs learning. Implications of developmental knowledge for classroom instruction are highlighted, and effective practices reviewed. Revealing vignettes, clear explanations of research, and lists of âœmain ideasâ enhance the textâs accessibility for preservice teachers. New to This Edition *Chapter on emergent literacy and the predictors of reading success. *Incorporates the latest research, including findings from key longitudinal studies. *Increased attention to English learners, low-income children, and children with disabilities. *UTrade Review"This updated second edition provides an accessible yet thorough overview of how children develop critical language and literacy skills and why these skills are so important. Particularly important is the strong review of how early development fosters skilled reading comprehension later on. Byrnes and Wasik are recognized experts who translate current research in a meaningful way to help transform readers’ understanding of the remarkable task of language and literacy acquisition in children."--Laura M. Justice, PhD, EHE Distinguished Professor of Educational Psychology, The Ohio State University “Once again, Byrnes and Wasik provide an incredibly readable summary of the latest research on language and literacy development--and, at the same time, they make strong links to the implications for classroom instruction. This is a unique volume that appropriately merges the literatures on oral language and literacy skills, while successfully bridging the divide between psychology and education. It is an essential book for graduate students who plan to be teachers, for current educators and administrators, and for psychology students with applied interests. I highly recommend this volume as a course text! It is ideal for graduate-level classes on language and literacy development. My graduate students appreciate the 'relevance' portions of the chapters, which help motivate their learning; and the main ideas that frame each chapter help me to organize class discussions. The increased focus throughout on English language learners is relevant and timely. What was already an indispensable classroom text is even better in this updated second edition."--Meredith L. Rowe, EdD, Saul Zaentz Professor of Early Learning and Development, Harvard Graduate School of Education "The developmental perspective presented by Byrnes and Wasik is unique and important. The notion of 'education as a developmental mechanism' frames literacy learning as a pathway along which we need to recognize milestones and guide students accordingly. This book's message is that all students can achieve if we determine where they are and where they need to go--and offer experiences that are effective to help them get there."--Margaret G.
