Investigating Clinical Psychology takes a deep dive into the field
of clinical psychology through the lens of pseudoscience and fringe
science. An expert panel of authors honor the role of science in
the field while also exploring and guarding against the harms that
pseudoscience can cause. Clinicians have an ethical duty to provide
the best available, evidence-based care. Engaging, accessible, and
open-minded in approach, this book outlines the distinction between
science and pseudoscience in order to prevent the false, and often
quite harmful, effects that pseudoscientific practices can have on
patients in need of mental health services. The book covers a
variety of topics, including harmful therapies, purple hat
therapies, animal-assisted therapies, hypnosis, and energy
medicine. Featuring world-renowned voices, it equips readers with
the skills needed to differentiate between pseudoscientific and
evidence-based approaches in both study and practice. Aligning with
many major undergraduate textbooks for easy course integration,
Investigating Clinical Psychology is valuable supplemental reading
in undergraduate and graduate courses in clinical psychology. It is
also a beneficial reference for clinicians in practice, as well as
anyone interested in pseudoscience psychology within the mental
health sector.

Every day, millions of children experience serious mental health
issues, such as symptoms related to autism, psychosis, mania,
depression, and anxiety. Moreover, many youth struggle with issues
related to trauma, eating, sleep, disruptive behavior, and
substance use. Most of these youth do not receive evidence-based
treatments. Instead, they commonly receive untested, ineffective,
and even harmful treatments. Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy
presents the research-supported treatment packages and their
individual components for every major mental health issue facing
infants, children, and adolescents. Each chapter also identifies
and analyzes other variables and resources that influence
treatment: parents, assessment, comorbidity, demographics and
medication. Useful resources are included for each mental health
issued covered in the book. The chapters are organized in the same
order as they appear in the DSM-5.
Most infants, children, and adolescents facing mental health
challenges - including autism, psychosis, mania, depression,
anxiety, and substance use - do not receive evidence-based
treatments. Instead, they commonly receive ineffective and even
harmful treatments. In this book, leading experts from the fields
of clinical psychology, school psychology, developmental
psychology, pediatric neurology, applied behavior analysis, and
social work identify the most problematic psychotherapy
interventions used for each mental health issue. In addition to
these primary authors, each chapter includes a side bar from a
specialist representing the disciplines of pediatrics,
anthropology, neuroscience, and psychology. The contributors work
in academia, hospitals, and private practice and include book
authors, podcasters, and even a filmmaker. Not only does this book
highlight the threats of potentially harmful pseudoscience, it also
summarizes treatments that actually have a strong evidence base and
deliver far more positive results.
With a unique focus on inquiry, Thinking Critically About Child
Development presents 74 claims related to child development for
readers to examine and think through critically. Author Jean Mercer
and new co-authors Stephen Hupp and Jeremy Jewell use anecdotes to
illustrate common errors of critical thinking and encourage
students to consider evidence and logic relevant to everyday
beliefs. New material in the Fourth Edition covers adolescence,
adverse childhood experiences, genetics, LGBT issues for both
parents and children, and other issues about sexuality, keeping
readers up to date on the latest scholarship in the field.
