A Textbook Worth Buying and Keeping! 5 out of 5 stars.
10 of 10 people found this review helpful.

This is by far the most useful textful I have ever used. As a graduate student in psychology, I have often used this text as both a training resource for my education and a problem solving guide in my clinical work. Written in language that you don't need a degree to understand, this book presents clinically applicable strategies for working with both children and adults in a variety of "helping" settings. That is, it reviews many of the basic skills one needs to talk to people effectively as a counselour or therapist. Each chapter includes detailed explanations, relevant examples, and exercises for integrating the discussed skills and/or interventions for your own use. It's one of the few resources that presents useful and relevant approaches to relating to people in a readable and understandable context. Best of all, this textbook makes an effort to discuss many of the issues facing "helpers" in the modern world of managed care. It's absolutely the best resource out there for developing and honing intelligent clinical skills!

Editorial Review:

For counselors and counselors-in-training who want to refine the craft of counseling so they can be more effective in today's multiculturally diverse, managed-care environment, this is a must-read book! Students will become familiar with the full range of interviewing, assessment, and intervention skills essential to practitioners. Filled with examples, case studies, and exercises, the book is an excellent resource for those who wish to strengthen their skills as empathic, culturally sensitive helpers. Readers will find coverage of many of the changes currently taking place in the training and delivery of counseling and psychological services, including an increased awareness of and emphasis on multicultural issues and diversity, the transition to "managed" mental health care through various HMOs, and the trend toward holistic treatment and health care services.

Editorial Review:

This biography of one of the world's most eminent psychologists describes Skinner's youth, family and education, his early and lingering desires to become famous as a writer or artist, his lifelong fascination with literary and "bohemian" figures, his difficult life and his devotion to his children. The author strips away many misconceptions about the great behaviourist pointing out that far from having a rigid, mechanistic view of humans, Skinner had an expansive, highly moral vision of the possibilities of human achievement. He shows Skinner's ideas as immensely practical with immediate "real world" applications through books geared to the general public, and through his interventions - machines and devices that could streamline everything from daily activities and teaching to missile guidance. The author has drawn on scholarly source material as well as personal correspondence, diary entries, interviews and other informal sources. The result is a narrative of Skinner's life, of the breakthroughs he made as a researcher and the lasting influences that his work still has on the science of psychology.

Editorial Review:

A investigative exposé of the brutal conditions in treatment programs for troubled teens, fueled by rigorous reporting and shocking first-person accounts.

The troubled-teen industry, with its scaremongering and claims of miraculous changes in behavior through harsh discipline, has existed in one form or another for decades, despite a dearth of evidence supporting its methods. And the growing number of programs that make up this industry are today finding more customers than ever.

Maia Szalavitz's Help at Any Cost is the first in-depth investigation of this industry and its practices, starting with its roots in the cultlike sixties rehabilitation program Synanon and Large Group Awareness Training organizations likeest in the seventies; continuing with Straight, Inc., which received Nancy Reagan's seal of approval in the eighties; and culminating with a look at the World Wide Association of Specialty Programs-the leading force in the industry today-which has begun setting up shop in foreign countries to avoid regulation. Szalavitz uncovers disturbing findings about these programs' methods, including allegation of physical and verbal abuse, and presents us with moving, often horrifying, first-person accounts of kids who made it through-as well as stories of those who didn't survive. The book also contains a thoughtfully compiled guide for parents, which details effective treatment alternatives.

Weaving careful reporting with astute analysis, Maia Szalavitz has written an important and timely survey that will change the way we look at rebellious teens-and the people to whom we entrust them. Help at Any Cost is a vital resource with an urgent message that will draw attention to a compelling issue long overlooked.

Editorial Review:

Behavior therapy has made significant inroads into a number of clinical problems. Recently, an American Psychological Association task force concluded that behavioral treatments for problems such as skill deficits, panic disorder phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder, etc., can be "validated." With a move away from contemporary learning research, this book is the right book at the right time. In recent years, behavior therapists have largely not kept up with the developments in learning research and theory. This book attempts to improve the field's future prospects by providing a readable, comprehensive, and accurate description of contemporary learning research. This edited volume covers all of the major dimensions of the field and encourages clinicians to apply contemporary learning research to clinical problems. Topics include: classical conditioning, inhibition, obsessive-compulsive disorders, latent inhibition, punishment, extinction, stimulus equivalence, and much more. Current and future clinicians and behavior therapists.

Editorial Review:

Child clinicians often receive referrals expressing concern that a child is "easily distracted," "moody," or "socially anxious," to name just a few of the most common complaints, yet each of these symptoms can point to a wide range of potential diagnoses. This important book helps the clinician target core symptom dimensions that cut across different emotional and behavioral disorders, providing practical tools and strategies for treating children with multiple, overlapping problems. Leading contributors offer step-by-step guidelines for differential diagnosis, assessment, case formulation, treatment planning, and evidence-based intervention. Each chapter features vivid clinical illustrations, tips on avoiding misdiagnosis, and suggestions for overcoming therapeutic roadblocks.

Editorial Review:

This excellent book is "must" reading for any dedicated psychotherapist and counselor or psychologically sophisticated lay person. Rational Behavior Therapy describes the only comprehensive, short-term, cognitive-behavioral method of psychotherapy and counseling that produces long-term results. How? In two important ways: 1) It lets the professional and the C/P (client or patient) quickly discover and therapeutically deal directly with the C/Ps' unsuspected, yet problem creating mental, emotional and physical behaviors. 2) It describes research proven, therapeutic emotional self-help concepts and techniques that enable C/Ps progress in therapy or counseling at their own pace, which almost always is as fast as possible.

Here is another PLUS of this book: It's the first self-help based therapeutic manual that integrates in psychotherapy and counseling what is well proven about the right and left brain neuro-psychology of emotionally satisfying self-management. BUT, this book is not just theory. It is a step by step, case example guide to the immediate, clinical practice of Cognitive-Behavioral psychotherapy and counseling.

Clear, Helpful and Effective 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This is a great introduction to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. It's easy to read, understand and apply. I highly recommend it to anyone who is new to the cognitive behavioral model.

Great case formulation guide! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Well-organized, readable and practical, I find this to be an indispensable case formulation book. Even if your primary orientation is not CBT, I believe most therapists and therapists-in-training will find Persons' guide to case formulation helpful for thinking efficiently yet flexibly about their patients, especially when most people who seek help are so complex that it can be difficult to figure out where to begin!

clinical psychologist 1 out of 5 stars.
22 of 51 people found this review helpful.

Gazzaniga presents a fine example of two behavioral principles:
1. The Peter principle. Gazzaniga over-extends way beyond his range of expertise, using a narrow and outmoded cognitive focus to try to explain just about all of the mind and human psychological functioning.

2. "Once you're well-known you can get anything published." The book is padded and says very little -- just about nothing -- that he hasn't hashed and rehashed before.

Editorial Review:

Selection theory has revolutionized our understanding of biology, but its implications for psychology have barely been tapped. In this book, a behavioural scientist reveals the radical implications of this powerful concept for students of human behaviour.
