This book provides detailed guidance on assessing and accommodating
patient preferences for the psychotherapist, the therapeutic
approach, and treatment activities. Blending empirical research and
clinical expertise into easy-to-read advice, Drs. John Norcross and
Mick Cooper offer multiple strategies for routinely assessing
preferences as they evolve over the course of therapy, focusing
primarily on strong likes and dislikes. They describe multiple
tools for rapidly and reliably measuring preferences in session,
including their Cooper-Norcross Inventory of Preferences (C-NIP).
Four key strategies for accommodating a client's preferences are
explored in depth: adopting them into treatment, adapting the
therapist's approach, exploring alternative preferences, and
referring the patient to another practitioner if necessary. The
authors describe the limitations of personalization and how to
avoid common errors, such as therapists assuming they know what
clients want. Training and supervision strategies are also
featured. Clinical cases and patient-therapist dialogues
demonstrate how to evaluate and integrate client preferences in a
respectful, ethical, and professional manner that leads to enhanced
alliances and improved outcomes.
Change is hard. But not if you know the five-step formula that
works whether you're trying to stop smoking or start recycling. Dr.
John C. Norcross, an internationally recognized expert, has studied
how people make transformative, permanent changes in their lives.
Over the past thirty years, he and his research team have helped
thousands of people overcome dozens of behavioural ailments, and
now his revolutionary scientific approach to personal improvement
is available in this indispensable guide. Unlike the overwhelming
majority of self-help books, the Changeology plan has a documented
track record of success. Whether you want to quit overeating or
drinking, or end depression, debt, and relationship distress, Dr.
Norcross gives you the tools you need to change within 90 days.
Changeology shows you how to define your goals, pump up your
motivation, prevent relapses, and master the skills that will help
you sustain change. In addition, you can personalize your journey
with Check Yourself assessments and helpful tools on the author's
interactive website, ChangeologyBook.com. Whatever your goal or
resolution, Changeology will help you achieve a life filled with
greater health and happiness.

While we know that psychotherapy works, there is hearty debate
about what makes it work. In the past, rival arguments have
maintained that psychotherapy proves effective because of the
treatment approach, patient contributions, or the therapeutic
relationship. Psychotherapy Skills and Methods That Work argues
that clinical skills and methods also play a crucial role and that
what therapists do has major consequences for improving practice.
Psychotherapy Skills and Methods That Work is the result of a
multiyear, interorganizational Task Force commissioned to identify,
compile, and disseminate the research evidence and clinical
practices on psychotherapist skills and methods used across
theoretical orientations. Edited by renowned scholars Clara E. Hill
and John C. Norcross, this book provides original research reviews
on the effectiveness of 27 specific psychotherapy skills and
methods, including affirmation, self-disclosure, role induction,
between-session homework, empathic reflections, mindfulness and
acceptance, emotion regulation, and cognitive restructuring. Each
chapter on a therapy skill or method features clinical examples,
diversity considerations, training implications, and bulleted
therapeutic practices, while the final chapter summarizes the
research evidence for the effectiveness of these skills/methods and
emphasizes implications for clinical training and practice.
Forcefully demonstrating what therapists do to help clients change
and live more effective lives, Psychotherapy Skills and Methods
That Work will serve as a go-to guide for psychotherapy
practitioners of all persuasions and professions, as well as
graduate students and psychotherapy researchers.

Everyone, it seems, is talking and arguing about Evidence-Based
Practice (EBP). Those therapies and assessments designated as EBP
increasingly determine what is taught, researched, and reimbursed
in health care. But exactly what is it, and how do you do it? The
second edition of Clinician's Guide to Evidence-Based Practices is
the concise, practitioner-friendly guide to applying EBPs in mental
health. Step-by-step it explains how to conduct the entire EBP
process-asking the right questions, accessing the best available
research, appraising the research, translating that research into
practice, integrating that research with clinician expertise and
patient characteristics, evaluating the entire enterprise,
attending to the ethical considerations, and when done, moving the
EBP process forward by teaching and disseminating it. This book
will help you: * Formulate useful questions that research can
address * Search the research literature efficiently for best
practices * Make sense out of the research morass, sifting wheat
from chaff * Incorporate patient values and diversity into the
selection of EBP * Blend clinician expertise with the research
evidence * Translate empirical research into practice * Ensure that
your clients receive effective, research-supported services *
Infuse the EBP process into your organizational setting and
training methods * Identify and integrate ethics in the context of
EBP Coauthored by a distinguished quartet of clinicians,
researchers, and a health care librarian, the Clinician's Guide has
become the classic for graduate students and busy professionals
mastering EBP.
The Psychotherapist's Own Psychotherapy: Patient and Clinician
Perspectives lifts a curtain that has long shrouded the intimate
alliances between therapists and those of their patients who share
the same profession. In this unique volume, distinguished
contributors explore the multi-faceted nature of the psychotherapy
of psychotherapists from "both sides of the couch." The
first-person narratives, clinical wisdom, and research findings
gathered together in this book offer guidance about providing
effective treatments to therapist patients.
Part I presents multiple theoretical positions that justify and
guide the work of therapists' therapists. In Part II, eminent
therapists write eloquently and intimately about their own
experiences as patients. Their personal reflections offer valuable
insights about what is healing and educational about psychotherapy.
These narratives are followed by several chapters reviewing
scientific research on therapists in personal therapy, including
the first report of relevant findings from a major international
survey of psychotherapists.
In Part III, celebrated therapists from different theoretical
orientations offer guidance on conducting therapy with fellow
therapists. They reflect on the many challenges, dilemmas, and
rewards that arise when two people do the same work. Their chapters
offer wisdom and warnings about such issues as power dynamics,
boundary maintenance, therapist self-disclosure, the termination
process, and the post-termination phase of the relationship. These
first-hand accounts are enhanced by research overviews on coducting
personal treatment, including a new study of American therapists
commissioned for the book. ThePsychotherapist's Own Psychotherapy:
Patient and Clinician Perspectives is an essential resource for
practitioners and students of all orientations and disciplines.
Contemporary psychotherapists have come to realize that, given the
complexity of human behaviour, no one theory can ever suffice to
explain all situations, disorders, and clients. Over the past three
decades, the ideological cold war and "dogma eat dogma" ambience
have abated as clinicians look across and beyond single-school
approaches to see what can be learned - and how patients can
benefit - from alternative orientations. This volume provides a
comprehensive state-of-the-art description of therapeutic
integration and its clincial practices by the leading proponents of
the movement. After presenting the concepts, history, research, and
belief structures of psychotherapy integration, the book considers
two exemplars of theoretical integration, technical eclectism, and
common factors. The authors review integrative therapies for
specific disorders, including anxiety, depression, and borderline
personality disorder, along with integrative treatment modalities,
such as combining individual and family therapy and integrating
pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy. The book concludes with a
section on training and a look at future directions. Replete with
clinical vignettes, this unique handbook is invaluable to
practitioners and researchers alike.
This book presents integrative supervision applicable to
integrative and single-system psychotherapy alike. Distinctive
features include its synthesis of supervisory methods aligned with
multiple theoretical traditions, a research-informed fit of
supervision to the individuality of the supervisee, its insistence
on frequent feedback from both clients and trainees, and a modeling
of the philosophical pluralism and pragmatic flexibility of
integration itself. In reviewing videotaped therapy sessions,
integrative supervisors offer key insights into common problems,
demonstrate how to adjust treatment to clients' transdiagnostic
needs, and guide trainees to clinical competence. Includes
transcripts from actual supervision sessions and commentaries from
the authors' companion DVD, Integrative Psychotherapy Supervision.

life challenges. The revised edition of this award-winning book now
features online self-help resources, expanded content, and new
chapters focusing on autism, bullying, chronic pain, GLB issues,
happiness, and nonchemical addictions. Each chapter updates the
self-help resources launched since the previous edition and expands
the material. The final chapters provide key strategies for
consumers evaluating self-help as well as for professionals
integrating self-help into treatment.
All told, this updated edition of Self-Help that Works evaluates
more than 2,000 self-help resources and brings together the
collective wisdom of nearly 5,000 mental health professionals.
