You will also learn to develop personal growth skills, and take committed action to create positive change.

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is more than just a set of techniques for structuring psychotherapeutic treatment; it also offers a new, insightful, transdiagnostic approach to case conceptualization and to mental health in general. Learn to put this popular new psychotherapeutic model to work in your practice with this book, the first guide that explains how to do case conceptualization within an ACT framework. ACT in Practice offers an introduction to ACT, an overview of its impact, and a brief introduction to the six core processes of ACT treatment--the six points of the hexaflex model and its pathological alter ego, the so-called inflexahex. It describes how to accomplish case conceptualizations in general and offers precis of the literature that establish the importance and value of case conceptualization. This guide also offers possible alternative case conceptualization for cases from different therapeutic traditions, a great help to therapists who come from a more traditional CBT background. Exercises throughout help you to evaluate the information you have just learned so that you may effectively integrate ACT into your practice.
Evidence-Based Educational Methods answers the challenge of the "No
Child Left Behind Act" of 2001 by promoting evidence-based
educational methods designed to improve student learning.
Behavioral scientists have been refining these instructional
methods for decades before the current call for evidence-based
education. Precision Teaching, Direct Instruction, Computerized
Teaching, Personalized System of Instruction, and other unique
applications of behavior analysis are all informed by the
scientific principles of learning, have been tested in the
laboratory, and are often shown to have significant success in
field applications. This book details each of these approaches to
education based on the principles of behavior analysis. Individuals
and agencies responsible for instruction that leaves no child
behind will find this compendium an important resource for meeting
that challenge, and young educators will greatly benefit from this
text, as they will see a blueprint of the evidence-based education
systems being planned for the future.
There is increasing recognition of the numerous and important services that ecosystems provide to human populations, such as flood protection, water purification, and climate control. Protecting ecological systems and services is part of the EPA's core mission. This book describes how the EPA can use an "expanded and integrated approach" to ecological valuation to encourage greater collaboration among a wide range of disciplines, including ecologists, economists at each step of the valuation process.
An expert examination of the way climate change is transforming the Arctic environmentally, economically, and geopolitically, and how the challenges of that transformation should be met. A growing number of scientists estimate that there will be no summer ice in the Arctic by as soon as 2013. Are we approaching the "End of the Arctic?" as journalist Ed Struzik asked in 1992, or fully entering the "Age of the Arctic," as Arctic expert Oran Young predicted in 1986? Arctic Doom, Arctic Boom: The Geopolitics of Climate Change in the Arctic looks at the uncertainty at the top of the world as the shrinking of the polar ice cap opens up new sea lanes and the vast hydrocarbon riches of the Arctic seafloor to commercial development and creates environmental disasters for Arctic biota and indigenous peoples. Arctic Doom, Arctic Boom explores the geopolitics of the Arctic from a historical as well as a contemporary perspective, showing how the warming of the Earth is transforming our very conception of the Arctic. In addition to addressing economic and environmental issues, the book also considers the vital strategic role of the region in our nation's defenses.
