Pot fi tratate tulburările de personalitate, acele condiţii clinice complexe, care afectează atât individul, cât şi aparţinătorii acestuia şi, mai larg, societatea? Răspunsul oferit de autorii volumului de față, pe baza studiilor validate științific asupra tulburărilor de personalitate, este afirmativ. În paradigma cognitiv-comportamentală, semnele şi simptomele acestor tulburări sunt văzute ca derivând din prelucrări dezadaptative de informaţie, rezultate din experienţa ontogenetică, pe un potenţial fond de vulnerabilitate bio-genetică, prelucrări care generează apoi răspunsuri specifice emoţionale, cognitive şi comportamentale menţinute prin întăriri (de exemplu, recompense şi pedepse). Modificarea acestor prelucrări informaţionale – prin tehnici de restructurare cognitivă – şi întăriri prezente – prin tehnici comportamentale – permite trecerea de la o abordare terapeutică a simptomelor, la modificarea personalității în ansamblul ei. Aşadar, în această lucrare se analizează comprehensiv tulburările de personalitate având în vedere atât diagnosticul psihiatric şi psihologic, important pentru a înțelege relația dintre trăsăturile de personalitate și tulburările de personalitate, cât şi modalităţile de intervenţie cognitiv-comportamentală, cu accent pe protocolul clinic şi pe mecanismele subiacente acestuia. Cititorii pot gasi în lucrarea de față informații actualizate despre abordările psihologice validate ştiinţific pentru tulburările de personalitate, utile atât pentru studenţii în psihologie şi medicină, cât şi pentru practicieni, psihologi şi medici, şi cercetători în domeniu.

In Rational and Irrational Beliefs: Research, Theory, and Clinical Practice, leading scholars, researchers, and practitioners of rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) and other cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBTs) share their perspectives and empirical findings on the nature of rational and irrational beliefs, the role of beliefs as mediators of functional and dysfunctional emotions and behaviors, and clinical approaches to modifying irrational beliefs, enhancing rational beliefs, and adaptive coping in the face of stressful life events. Offering a comprehensive and cohesive approach to understanding REBT/CBT and its central constructs of rational and irrational beliefs, contributors review a steadily accumulating empirical literature indicating that irrational beliefs are associated with a wide range of problems in living and that exposure to rational self-statements can decrease anxiety and other psychological symptoms, and play a valuable role in health promotion and disease prevention. Contributors also identify new frontiers of research and theory, including the link between irrational beliefs and other cognitive processes such as memory, psychophysiological responses, and evolutionary and cultural determinants of rational and irrational beliefs. A truly accessible, state-of-the-science summary of REBT/CBT research and clinical applications, Rational and Irrational Beliefs is an invaluable resource for psychotherapy practitioners of all theoretical orientations, as well as instructors, students, and academic psychologists.

The Complete Book of Unusual Names If you are looking for unique and different names, this is your one-stop resource. Some of the names will roll off your tongue, some bounce, some even tap dance. The author encourages us to, "Try thinking of a name as a dash of color that you give to the world; a way to leave your mark, like an elaborate scarf wound through auburn hair or a periwinkle, paisley tie that everyone admires." With over 1000 names, complete with usage examples, readers seeking a non-traditional first or middle name can bet there won't be five others in the class bearing the same name. "Dr. Spock has seen your letter and your manuscript and has asked me to respond. He thinks your book is good, but he is right in the middle of revising Baby and Child Care and cannot do other work until he has finished this. The publishers have a deadline and they keep calling for the finished product. I hope your understand and we appreciate your thinking of Dr. Spock." --Mary Morgan for Dr. Spock "You have a wonderful idea for a book" --Dr. T. Berry Brazelton "David has researched and presented to us a unique and tantalizing list of names, each of which parents my proudly bestow on a new-born child, knowing the value in new life is honored by the time spent searching for 'the name, ' a name to take along on the adventure that is life." --Nancy Ellis Baker PhD.

A Comprehensive, Systematic Evaluation of Treatment Effectiveness for Major Psychological Disorders With over 500 types of psychotherapy being practiced in the field today, navigating the maze of possible treatments can be daunting for clinicians and researchers, as well as for consumers who seek help in obtaining psychological services. Evidence-Based Psychotherapy: The State of Science and Practice offers a roadmap to identifying the most appropriate and efficacious interventions, and provides the most comprehensive review to date of treatments for psychological disorders most often encountered in clinical practice. Each chapter applies a rigorous assessment framework to evaluate psychotherapeutic interventions for a specific disorder. The authors include the reader in the evaluation scheme by describing both effective and potentially non-effective treatments. Assessments are based upon the extant research evidence regarding both clinical efficacy and support of underyling theory. Ultimately, the book seeks to inform treatment planning and enhance therapeutic outcomes. Evidence-Based Psychotherapy: The State of Science and Practice: Presents the available scientific research for evidence-based psychotherapies commonly practiced today Systematically evaluates theory and intervention efficacy based on the David and Montgomery nine-category evaluative framework Covers essential modes of treatment for major disorders, including bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, PTSD, eating disorders, alcohol use disorder, major depressive disorder, phobias, and more Includes insightful discussion of clinical practice written by leading experts Clarifies “evidence-based practice” versus “evidence-based science” and offers historical context for the development of the treatments under discussion Evidence-Based Psychotherapy: The State of Science and Practice is designed to inform treatment choices as well as strengthen critical evaluation. In doing so, it provides an invaluable resource for both researchers and clinicians.
