Excellent resource -- a must -buy for your bookshelf 5 out of 5 stars.
12 of 13 people found this review helpful.

Finally, a book on CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) for the rest of us! Everyone who deals with bipolar disorder will find Basco's work very helpful. I've read many books on CBT, including those by Ellis and his students -- they have great ideas, but they are not so easy to put into practice if you are cycling through the mood swings of manic depression. Basco customizes the CBT approach for bipolar and explains the process clearly. Multiple studies have shown this approach's usefulness. If you and your health care provider prefer a cognitive approach to help manage your bipolar symptoms, this book (now in paperback) is your best resource.

Editorial Review:

A comprehensive approach to the treatment of bipolar disorder, this book details an innovative program of interventions that augments rather than replaces pharmacotherapy. Topics covered include patient and family education, early symptom detection for the prevention of relapse, methods for the enhancement of treatment compliance, strategies for the remediation of subsyndromal symptoms of depression and mania, and ways to identify and resolve psychosocial and interpersonal problems. Each chapter provides session-by-session instructions, as well as patient assignments and clear and concise directions for the implementation of each intervention.

Editorial Review:

Together for the first time in one paperback volume are two of Jung's major late works, in the version published in The Collected Works of C. G. Jung, as rendered by Jung's official translator. "The Undiscovered Self" (1957) integrates many of Jung's lifelong social and psychological concerns and addresses the uneasy relation between the individual and mass society. The survival of civilization, he maintains, depends on individual awareness of both the conscious and unconscious aspects of the human psyche. The exploration of the unconscious, in particular, leads to self-knowledge and with it recognition of the duality of human natureits potential for evil as well as for good. Jung believes that it is this self-knowledge that enables the individual to resist the collective power of mass society and the state and to cope with their possible threats. Jung's reflections on self-knowledge and the exploration of the unconscious carry over into his essay "Symbols and the Interpretation of Dreams," completed shortly before his death in 1961. (It is the original version of his introduction to the symposium Man and His Symbols, conceived as a popular presentation of Jungian ideas.) Describing dreams as communications from the unconscious--as expressions of aspects of the individual that have been neglected or unrealized--Jung explains how the symbols that occur in dreams compensate for repressed emotions and intuitions. In a world dehumanized, in Jung's view, by scientific "progress" and the loss of emotional participation in natural events, symbols recall our original nature, its instincts and peculiar way of thinking. This essay brings together Jung's fully evolved thoughts on the analysis of dreams and the healing of the rift between consciousness and the unconscious, in the context of his system of psychology.

i think this is the most interesting psych text i have read. i got it for a 4 week online class and had to read it cover to cover in less than a month. it was easy to read and has review sections within the chapter to make sure you are getting the information, and the author has a lovely sense of humor. I would reccommend this book very highly. the research is current and sound and he gives many perspectives on the same issues. there are some issues i had with how he organizes information, because it can be a bit confusing how he goes from general to specific then changes topics completely, but how else are you going to cover everything? Love the format, get the study guide too if you can.

An excellent breakdown of cognitive techniques 5 out of 5 stars.
54 of 54 people found this review helpful.

McMullin does an excellent job of taking a fluid process such as therapy and breaking it down into its component parts. McMullin demystifies therapy by breaking the techniques down they are more easily applied in practice. For each technique there are real life examples and application, research and his personal thoughts on the effectiveness of the technique. McMullin also refuses to get lost in the technique and also describes the mechanism of faulty automatic thoughts in excellent detail. This book is designed for especially for professionals, students, but might also be useful to someone who is actively involved in psychology as a client or significant other to someone in therapy. After having read this book I felt much more confident that I would be able to handle situations in my private practice.

Editorial Review:

A huge assortment of cognitive therapy techniques described, explained, and demonstrated. This how-to reference provides the therapist with an immediately usable guide to cognitive therapy. It presents over a hundred cognitive therapy techniques, offering for each the theoretical basis, a thumbnail description of the technique, and case illustrations. In this major revision of his 1986 Handbook, McMullin has added seven new chapters, which explain how to teach basic concepts, how to uncover harmful schemas, and how to resynthesize historical and cultural beliefs. In addition, he has tripled the number of examples, dialogues, case transcripts, and illustrations.

Editorial Review:

Anthropologist Jeremy Narby has altered how we understand the shamanic cultures and traditions that have undergone a worldwide revival in recent years. Now, in one of his most extraordinary journeys, Narby travels around the globe-from the Amazon basin to the Far East-to probe what traditional healers and pioneering researchers perceive about the intelligence present in all forms of life.

Intelligence in Nature offers overwhelming illustrative evidence that independent intelligence is not unique to humanity. Indeed, bacteria, plants, animals, and other forms of nonhuman life display an uncanny proclivity for self-deterministic decisions, patterns, and actions. The Japanese possess a word for this universal knowing: chi-sei. For the first time, Narby presents an in-depth anthropological study of this concept in the West. He not only uncovers a mysterious thread of intelligent behavior within the natural world but also probes the question of what humanity can learn from nature's economy and knowingness in its own search for a saner and more sustainable way of life.

The worst possible book to learn about Jung.... 1 out of 5 stars.
23 of 32 people found this review helpful.

Treating someone of the caliber of Jung the way this book does is at best a very bad joke. Carl Jung was not a pop group, hence presenting his theories in a fragmented way by giving us a bit of this and a bit of that in a totally disconnected manner helps noone.
It certainly doesn't do any justice to a mind like the one Jung possesed and it definately won't help any type of reader interested in Jung:

-for those already acquainted with the Jungian theories this book is going to be an utter waste of time. It doesn't help you go any deeper or progress in acquanting yourself with Jung's mindset and in no way does it work as a "reference book" which is what i imagine was the premise of the author who assembled this disastrously bad collection of Jungian essays together. In order for such an endeavour to have any hope for function ti would need to be at least 4 times the volume it has. Why do say that? Well, for starters, the essays presented in this book are so short, so much out of any coherence, and so taken out of context, that even Jung himself would've trouble detecting where they are taken from...

-for those NOT acquainted with Jungian thought, reading this book merely means that they will remain NOT acquanited with Jungian thought. I can't put it in a starker way than this and i feel no need to elaborate on this further. If you want to introduce yourself to the Jungian school of thought DO NOT under any circumstances begin with this book because you're running the risk of actually being turned off alltogether..

Start instead with "Memories, dreams and reflections". That is written by Jung himself, and while it's an excellent presentation to the way Jung approached psychology and psychotherapy, it's at the same time sort of an autobiography as well as a seriously insightful and as influential a book as they come...

Editorial Review:

This volume presents the essentials of Jung's thought in his own words. To familiarize readers with the ideas for which Jung is best known, the British psychiatrist and writer Anthony Storr has selected extracts from Jung's writings that pinpoint his many original contributions and relate the development of his thought to his biography. Dr. Storr has prefaced each extract with explanatory notes. These notes link the extracts, and with Dr. Storr's introduction, they show the progress and coherence of Jung's ideas, including such concepts as the collective unconscious, the archetypes, introversion and extroversion, individuation, and Jung's view of integration as the goal of the development of the personality.

Seeing Through the Serious Business of Psychotherapy 5 out of 5 stars.
35 of 42 people found this review helpful.

I think Jung would have appreciated the irony: in a way this book both completes and thoroughly undermines the Jungian project. At least that's how it worked for me.

Hillman is a genuinely wise man (I do hope he never reads this, or if he does, that he forgives me for saying so! :-). Yes, he is certainly a poet, a mythologist, a psychotherapist, a thinker, an iconoclast, a scholar etc, etc... But above all, he is a wise man -- a shaman, a guide. In this book he turns his gift for "seeing through" to the subject of psychotherapy itself. I can only describe the result as an astonishing, erudite, profoundly beautiful and ultimately liberating dance, in which Hillman, on our behalf, engages (and disengages!) himself with the psychological stuff of psychotherapy. This is healing of the highest order, and I never expected to encounter it in such an accessible form.

Having read this book, I can no longer think of Psyche in terms other than those of polytheistic "seeing through". And I can no longer read any books on psychotherapy, except through Hillman's playful, re-visioning eyes -- no, not even Jung, nor Hillman himself. The circle is complete. The thesis and anti-thesis have combined into synthesis, and in the four-step magical dialectics, got transmuted into a new totality. Where do we go from here? I have no idea, but it will be somewhere else.

Editorial Review:

This groundbreaking classic explores the necessity of connections between our life and soul and developing the main lines of the soul-making process.

Like Perls for Children 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

I have a thriving passion for experiential work, and Violet shows how it is applicable to child treatment. Dr. Oaklander has a deep respect for and understanding of children. She knows how to use their imaginations (and her own) to help them both heal and develop internal resources. I have included her ideas in my own therapeutic work with children/teens, and also in training clinicians. This is my favorite child therapy book. Her new book is due out in December 2006.

Excellent 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

This is a wonderful book on using many techniques with children. She incorporates guided imagary and art therapy techniques. I work with children and have utilized many ideas with great success. I do wish she would write another book with even more techniques.

Editorial Review:

With over 300 pages of methods, materials, techniques for working with children and adolescents, transcripts, case examples and discussion, this book more than fills a void in the child therapy literature. Counselors and therapists, in schools, mental health centers and private practice embrace this book. It is the largest selling book on the subject in the world.
