Navigating Life Transitions for Meaning explores the central human
motivation of meaning making, and its counterpart, meaning
disruption. The book describes different types of specific
transitions, details how specific transitions affect an individual
differently, and provides appropriate clinical approaches. The book
examines the effects of life transitions on the component parts of
meaning in life, including making sense (coherence), driving life
goals (purpose), significance (mattering), and continuity. The book
covers a range of transitions, including developmental (e.g.,
adolescence to adulthood), personal (e.g., illness onset, becoming
a parent, and bereavement), and career (e.g., military deployment,
downshifting, and retiring). Life transitions are experienced by
all persons, and the influence of those transitions are tremendous.
It is essential for clinicians to understand how transitions can
disrupt life and how to help clients successfully navigate these
changes.
Many providers have difficulty implementing exposure-based
cognitive behavioral therapy for youth with anxiety and
obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), despite it being the leading
treatment for this condition. Exposure Therapy for Children with
Anxiety and OCD: Clinician's Guide to Integrated Treatment provides
a step-by-step framework for how providers apply exposure therapy
in practice. The book begins with empirical support for the
treatment followed by suggested implementation of exposures for
specific conditions and ages. Tables of sample exposures and case
illustrations are provided throughout the book and common
challenges that may complicate implementation are addressed.
Intended for busy providers to implement directly into practice,
chapters provide clinical excerpts and illustrate techniques in an
easy "how-to" format.
Statistics for Applied Behavior Analysis Practitioners and
Researchers provides practical and useful content for individuals
who work directly with, or supervise those who work directly with,
individuals with ASD. This book introduces core concepts and
principles of modern statistical analysis that practitioners will
need to deliver ABA services. The organization of the book works
through the flow of behavior analytic service provision, aiming to
help practitioners read through research, evaluate intervention
options, incorporate statistics in their analysis of time-series
intervention and assessment data, and effectively communicate
assessment and intervention effects using statistics. As
professionals who provide applied behavior analysis (ABA) services
are required to use evidence-based practices and make data-based
decisions regarding assessments and interventions, this book will
help them take a modern, scientific approach to derive knowledge
and make decisions based on statistical literacy.
Clinician's Toolkit for Children's Behavioral Health provides a
wealth of clinical tools, best practices, and research-based
recommendations on the behavioral health of children. Based on the
current perspectives on behaviorism, social-cognitive theory and
attachment theory, the book reviews the evidence-base on
developmentally appropriate methods to promote and reinforce
positive, prosocial behaviors in children. Each chapter covers the
most recent evidence base on normal and atypical development
treatment parameters, best practices, and how to most effectively
address issues with families, providing guidance on verbal or
physical aggression, punishment spirals, and other ineffective or
potentially harmful methods. Evidence-based best practices are
outlined for addressing bedtime problems, toilet training, bullying
behavior and victimization, the relationship between somatic
complaints, anxiety, and school refusal, problematic use of screen
media, and more.
Insomnia and fatigue are two of the most frequent consequences
after traumatic brain injury (TBI). About 30% of individuals suffer
from chronic insomnia, an additional 20% have symptoms of insomnia,
and up to 75% have significant and persistent fatigue. There is a
strong empirical basis for the effectiveness of
cognitive-behavioral interventions for the management of insomnia
and fatigue in the general population and in other patient
populations, and emerging research shows that these interventions
seem applicable with similar benefits to people with TBI. Insomnia
and Fatigue After Traumatic Brain Injury: A CBT Approach to
Assessment and Treatment is written by a team of four
scientist-practitioners in psychology who are experts in sleep
medicine, cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia, and traumatic
brain injury (TBI). Together they have authored this assessment and
intervention manual for insomnia and fatigue, intended for
clinicians working with the TBI population. Based on
cognitive-behavioral principles, the manual integrates
evidence-based interventions and techniques used by expert
clinicians working with these populations. Throughout the
development process, there has been an ongoing integration of the
best available research, specialized clinical expertise, and
knowledge transfer expertise: all of these perspectives were used
to choose, revise, and format the content of the manual as to
ensure that it would be most useful for the target audience.
Teenagers, Sexual Health Information and the Digital Age examines
the online resources available on teenagers, including games and
digital interventions. In addition, it highlights current issues
such as sexting and pornography. Information needs and provisions
are examined, and existing sexual health interventions and digital
interventions are discussed, gathering both teenagers' and sexual
health professionals' views on these services. In addition to a
review of the current literature on sexual health and teenagers,
the book examines groups of teenagers, particularly those
vulnerable to risky sex and asks what are the predictors of these
behaviors and what can be done to address the behaviors. Finally,
the book will also provide reflections and practical advice on the
ethical issues associated with research in this context.
Advanced Casebook of Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders:
Conceptualizations and Treatment presents a synthesis of the
emerging data across clinical phenomenology, assessment,
psychological therapies and biologically-oriented therapies
regarding obsessive compulsive disorders, including hoarding, skin
picking, body dysmorphic and impulse control disorders. Following
the re-classification of such disorders in the DSM-5, the book
addresses recent advances in treatment, assessment, treatment
augmentation and basic science of OCRDs. The second half of the
book focuses on the treatment of OCRDs, covering both psychological
therapies (e.g. inhibitory learning informed exposure, tech-based
CBT applications) and biologically oriented therapies (e.g.
neuromodulation).
The Clinician's Guide to Anxiety Sensitivity Treatment and
Assessment provides evidence-based strategies for clinicians
looking to treat, assess and better understand anxiety sensitivity
in their patients. The book delivers detailed guidance on the
theoretical background and empirical support for anxiety
sensitivity treatment methods, assessment strategies, and how
clinicians can best prepare for sessions with their clients.
Bolstered by case studies throughout, it highlights anxiety
sensitivity as a transdiagnostic risk factor while also looking at
the importance of lower-order sensitivity factors (physical,
social, cognitive) in treatment planning, implementation and
evaluation.
Transdiagnostic Group Therapy Training and Implementation provides
clinicians with a user-friendly roadmap for delivering a brief,
transdiagnostic group therapy that can be used for patients
suffering from stress, depression, anxiety, and a range of other
related mental health problems. This is supplemented by over an
hour of training videos hosted on the book's companion website,
visually demonstrating how to effectively implement the therapy.
The book introduces the empirical research that has led to a
greater emphasis on transdiagnostic treatment approaches, and
details how to implement each phase of the therapy, supported by
clinical examples to make practical application easier.
