A bold new way to help anyone change Why is it so hard to change problem behavior—in our kids, our colleagues, and even ourselves? Conventional methods often backfire, creating a downward spiral of resentment and frustration, and a missed opportunity for growth. What if the thinking behind these old methods is wrong? What if people don’t misbehave because they want to, but because they lack the skills to do better? Or as renowned psychologist J. Stuart Ablon asks, what if changing problem behavior is a matter of skill, not will? Based on more than twenty-five years of clinical work with juvenile offenders as well training parents, teachers, counselors and law enforcement, and supported by research in neuroscience, Changeable presents a radical new way of thinking about challenging and unwanted behavior -- Collaborative Problem Solving -- that builds empathy, helps others reach their full potential, and most of all really works. With illuminating scientific evidence, remarkable success stories, and actionable insights, Changeable gives parents, teachers, CEOs and anyone interested in learning about why we behave the way we do a roadmap for helping people grow. *Includes a Bonus PDF with charts and graphs.

How Collaborative Problem Solving Changes Lives at Home, at School, and at Work

Changeable

Ai trong chúng ta hẳn đã có lúc cảm thấy khó xử khi đối mặt với một đứa trẻ không vâng lời, một đồng nghiệp vô lý hoặc người bạn đời khó chịu. Thực tế, những hành vi "không đúng đắn" luôn đầy rẫy quanh ta: Học sinh cá biệt, trẻ phạm tội vị thành niên, người bị bệnh tâm thần... Làm sao để thay đổi họ? Trong Changeable - "Mọi thứ đều có thể thay đổi", J. Stuart Ablon đề xuất một phương pháp đột phá để thay đổi hành vi con người. Ông gọi là Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) - Phương pháp giải quyết vấn đề thông qua hợp tác. Trọng tâm của phương pháp nằm ở lập luận con người không cố tình cư xử không đúng mực hay chống đối mà vì họ thiếu các kỹ năng tư duy cần thiết để đáp ứng các kỳ vọng và giải quyết xung đột. Chính vì lẽ đó, trong cuốn sách của mình, thông qua phương pháp CPS, J. Stuart Ablon đưa ra các tư duy mới về kỷ luật, xung đột, các mối quan hệ, cách giải quyết vấn đề, cũng như các công cụ đã được khoa học kiểm chứng để giải quyết các xung đột trong cuộc sống. Sách có tổng cộng 7 chương. Chương đầu tiên giới thiệu ý tưởng con người sẽ luôn cư xử đúng đắn nếu họ có khả năng làm vậy. Chương 2 cung cấp các bằng chứng khoa học cho thấy kỹ năng là yếu tố quyết định hành vi. Chương 3 xác định phương pháp thưởng phạt truyền thống gây hại nhiều hơn lợi. Chương 4 trình bày phương pháp thực tế để giải quyết vấn đề. Câu chuyện tác giả và các đồng nghiệp đã ứng dụng thành công phương pháp này như thế nào và cách ứng dụng phương pháp CPS với nhóm làm việc và gia đình, bạn bè được giới thiệu trong chương 5 và chương 6. Giống như tên của cuốn sách - "Mọi thứ đều có thể thay đổi", cuốn sách mang đến cái nhìn lạc quan và khoa học về cách chúng ta nên làm để vượt qua các thách thức trong quá trình tương tác của con người với con người, giúp chính mình và người khác thay đổi một cách hiệu quả.

The importance of conducting empirical research for the future of psychodynamics is presented in this excellent new volume. In Handbook of Evidence Based Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: Bridging the Gap Between Science and Practice, the editors provide evidence that supports this type of research for two primary reasons. The first reason concerns the current marginalization of psychodynamic work within the mental health field. Sound empirical research has the potential to affirm the important role that psychodynamic theory and treatment have in modern psychiatry and psychology. The second reason that research is crucial to the future of psychodynamic work concerns the role that systematic empirical investigations can have in developing and refining effective approaches to a variety of clinical problems. Empirical research functions as a check on subjectivity and theoretical alliances in on-going attempts to determine the approaches most helpful in working with patients clinically. Handbook of Evidence Based Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: Bridging the Gap Between Science and Practice brings together a panel of distinguished clinician-researchers who have been publishing their findings for decades. This important new book provides compelling evidence that psychodynamic psychotherapy is an effective treatment for many common psychological problems.

This book is the first to systematically describe the key components necessary to ensure successful implementation of Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) across mental health settings and non-mental health settings that require behavioral management. This resource is designed by the leading experts in CPS and is focused on the clinical and implementation strategies that have proved most successful within various private and institutional agencies. The book begins by defining the approach before delving into the neurobiological components that are key to understanding this concept. Next, the book covers the best practices for implementation and evaluating outcomes, both in the long and short term. The book concludes with a summary of the concept and recommendations for additional resources, making it an excellent concise guide to this cutting edge approach. Collaborative Problem Solving is an excellent resource for psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and all medical professionals working to manage troubling behaviors. The text is also valuable for readers interested in public health, education, improved law enforcement strategies, and all stakeholders seeking to implement this approach within their program, organization, and/or system of care.

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Research: Evidence-Based Practice and Practice-Based Evidence continues the important work of the first book published in 2009 by Humana Press (Handbook of Evidence-Based Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: Bridging the Gap Between Science and Practice). This landmark title presents in one volume significant developments in research, including neuroscience research, in psychodynamic psychotherapy by a team of renowned clinician-researchers. The demand for ongoing research initiatives in psychodynamic psychotherapy from both internal and external sources has increased markedly in recent years, and this volume continues to demonstrate the efficacy and effectiveness of a psychodynamic approach to psychotherapeutic interventions in the treatment of psychological problems. The work in this volume is presented in the spirit of ongoing discussion between researchers and clinicians about the value of specific approaches to specific patients with specific psychiatric and psychological problems. Multiple forms of treatment interventions have been developed over the past fifty years, and this volume makes clear, with firm evidence, the authors’ support for the current emphasis on personalized medicine. Groundbreaking and a major contribution to the psychiatric and psychologic literature, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Research: Evidence-Based Practice and Practice-Based Evidence provides firm grounding for advancing psychodynamic psychotherapy as a treatment paradigm.

The first comprehensive presentation for clinicians of the groundbreaking approach popularized in Ross Greene's acclaimed parenting guide, The Explosive Child, this book provides a detailed framework for effective, individualized intervention with highly oppositional children and their families. Many vivid examples and Q&A sections show how to identify the specific cognitive factors that contribute to explosive and noncompliant behavior, remediate these factors, and teach children and their adult caregivers how to solve problems collaboratively. The book also describes challenges that may arise in implementing the model and provides clear and practical solutions. Two special chapters focus on intervention in schools and in therapeutic/restrictive facilities.
