Counseling Psychology, one of the original specialties recognized
in the profession of psychology, centers on and promotes clients'
personal strengths during times of developmental transition or
personal challenge and crisis. This tradition has led the
discipline to excellence in areas such as improving vocational
decision making and understanding client response during
counseling. More recently, this tradition has been applied in new
and exciting areas, such as understanding the role of multicultural
factors among persons and society, responding to crises in life
such as health threats and disasters, and enhancement of social
justice in systems and communities. The Oxford Handbook of
Counseling Psychology comprises chapters, all written by expert
contributors, in four sections: foundations of the specialty;
contextual variables such as ethnicity and social class;
applications across individual, couple, family and group
populations; and intersections of the specialty with new targets of
client or context. Each chapter reviews the history of research,
theory and application; analyzes current directions, and sets an
agenda for the close future, again in theory, research and
application. The handbook is a comprehensive and well written
survey of many of psychology's domains of growing interest to
students, professionals, and the public.
Promoting Positive Processes After Trauma targets one of the most
damaging effects of trauma, ongoing impairment across the whole of
"living." Viewing clients with trauma histories from the
perspectives of their shared experiences is the foundation for the
application of six strengths and virtues studied by positive
psychology: hope, positive emotions, resilience, forgiveness,
spirituality and religiosity, and meaning-making. The lived trauma
experience of the contributing author illustrates actual means of
change
Reconstructing Meaning After Trauma: Theory, Research, and Practice
informs actual therapeutic work with clients who present with
traumas or other life disruptions by providing clinicians with
information on the construction of meaning. It includes material on
diverse mechanisms of clinical change and positive-promoting
processes. The book covers identifiable treatments and specific
lines of research in assisting clients in developing new meaning,
such as posttraumatic growth (after sexual assault, diagnosis, and
treatment of cancer, destructive natural phenomena, such as
hurricanes, and refugee experiences), and finding benefit (in the
context of loss-loss of health, or loss of a loved one).
This book provides a psychologically informed perspective on
childhood sexual abuse. Its goal is to help you orient yourself
toward recovery and learn healthy practices that will lead to
thriving, not just surviving. Written by an author who is herself a
survivor, this guide describes how complex trauma affects your
overall health. On that knowledge foundation you are invited to
build strengths in various areas of your life, such as
meaning-making, connections with others, and hope.
Psychology has become a global profession. Professionals are now
readily able to practice in geographic areas far from where they
were trained. In practice, psychology has a social contract with
the public to promote human and societal welfare, all the while
responsible for the constant upkeep of systems that promote,
maintain, and demand quality from health care professionals. In
Global Promise: Quality Assurance and Accountability in
Professional Psychology, editors Judy E. Hall and Elizabeth M.
Altmaier examine the tools needed for evaluating the crucial
components of quality assurance- education, training, accreditation
and designation, licensing and credentialing, ethics, mobility, and
continuing professional development- from an international
perspective, with a specific focus on practices in the United
States, Canada, the European Union, Latin America, Australia, and
The Netherlands and vignettes on the United Kingdom, China and
South Africa. An international team of contributors synthesizes the
progress made in implementing quality assurance mechanisms across
the globe and offers diverse perspectives as to how the wider
international community can promote quality and mobility. With an
eye toward the future of psychology as well as on the systems that
will support it, Global Promise is required reading for
universities, regulatory bodies, professional associations,
professionals and students.
Rich with practical advice, Intervention in Occupational Stress focuses on intervention strategies that therapists and other helping professionals can use to help individuals suffering from the emotional and psychological stresses of the workplace. Filled with illustrative case studies, the chapters in this volume define the nature of occupational stress and provide information about the emotional, behavioral, psychological, and cognitive symptoms that can occur. Randall R. Ross and Elizabeth M. Altmaier discuss the various factors that influence the individual, the work setting, and the larger social context. They explore relaxation training, stress management programs, and other coping strategies such as job redesign and career planning. Methods to evaluate interventions are also presented.
