The Evolution of Cognitive Behavior Therapy: A Personal and
Professional Journey with Don Meichenbaum explores the "untold
story" of how Cognitive Behavior Therapy emerged and discusses the
controversies encountered along the way. This volume will feature a
personal account of Don Meichenbaum's contributions from his
initial work on self-instructional training with schizophrenics and
impulsive children, through his work on stress inoculation
training, and his most recent works with traumatized individuals.
These previously published papers are complemented with updated
papers and accompanying commentary.
Since 1950, when Hans Selye first devoted an entire book to the
study of stress, professional and public concern with stress has
grown tremendous ly. These concerns have contributed to an
understanding that has impli cations for both prevention and
treatment. The present book is designed to combine these data with
the clinical concerns of dealing with stressed populations. In
order to bridge the gap between research and practice,
contributions are included by major researchers who have been con
cerned with the nature of stress and coping and by clinical
researchers who have developed stress management and stress
prevention programs. The book is divided into three sections. The
goal of the first section is to survey the literature on stress and
coping and to consider the implica tions for setting up stress
prevention and management programs. Follow ing some introductory
observations by the editors are the observations of three prominent
investigators in the field of stress and coping. Irving JaniS,
Seymour Epstein, and Howard Leventhal have conducted seminal
studies on the topic of coping with stress. For this book they have
each gone beyond their previous writings in proposing models and
guidelines for stress prevention and management programs. While
each author has tackled his task somewhat differently, a set of
common suggestions has emerged."
This book is an account of a personal journey through a research
program. A number of people have helped guide my way. To them I am
deeply grateful. Special thanks are offered to my students, whose
constant stimulation and provocation were incentives to write this
book. Moreover, in the belief that they would never show the
initiative to put together a festschrift for me (Le., a book
dedicated to someone for his contributions), I decided to do it
myself. Several people cared enough to offer editorial criticisms,
namely, Myles Genest, Barney Gilmore, Roy Cameron, Sherryl Goodman,
and Dennis Turk. The reader benefits from their perspicacity.
Finally, to my parents, who taught me to talk to myself, and to my
family, without whose constant input this book would have been
completed much sooner, but would have been much less fun, I
dedicate this book. D.M. 5 Contents Prologue 11 Chapter 1 17

Integrating client stories, research and evidence-based strategies,
this Workbook offers educational information, clinical tools and
coping techniques to assist addiction patients on the journey
toward recovery. Chapters include psycho-educational information on
the science behind addiction and examine how patients engaging in
resilience behaviors can alter brain functions. A set of three
appendices then evaluates what "works" for the treatment of
individuals with addictive disorders including ways to engage
patients in the treatment process and ways to assess residential
treatment programs. Lastly, a glossary of the "language of
recovery" terms provides patients and their family members with the
guidelines to monitor treatment gains, support their journey of
recovery and bolster their resilience. Healthcare providers and
those suffering from addictive disorders alike will benefit from
the approachable discussion of the science and history behind
addiction, the personal case-studies and the patient-friendly set
of coping toolbox-activities designed to develop lasting behavioral
changes.

In 'Roadmap to Resilience', Dr. Meichenbaum discusses the
differences between those who recover from trauma through
resilience and those who must go through PTSD, for both military
and civilian populations.

From a leading researcher and practitioner, this volume provides an
innovative framework for understanding the role of spirituality in
people's lives and its relevance to the work done in psychotherapy.
It offers fresh, practical ideas for creating a spiritual dialogue
with clients, assessing spirituality as a part of their problems
and solutions, and helping them draw on spiritual resources in
times of stress. Written from a nonsectarian perspective, the book
encompasses both traditional and nontraditional forms of
spirituality. It is grounded in current findings from psychotherapy
research and the psychology of religion, and includes a wealth of
evocative case material.
This immensely practical volume describes the rationale,
development, and utilization of cognitive-behavioral techniques in
promoting health, preventing disease, and treating illness, with a
particular focus on pain management. An ideal resource for a wide
range of practitioners and researchers, the book's coverage of pain
management includes theoretical, research, and clinical issues, and
includes illustrative case material.
