The Handbook of Humility is the first scholarly book to bring
together authors from psychology as well as other fields to address
what we know and don't know about humility. Authors review the
existing research in this burgeoning field that has well over 100
empirical articles and an increasing trajectory of publication.
This work should form the basis for research in humility for many
years. In this book, chapters address definitions of humility that
guide research. Authors also reflect on the practical applications
of humility research within the areas they reviewed. The book
informs people who study humility scientifically, but it is also an
exceptional guide for psychotherapists, philosophers, religious and
community leaders, politicians, educated lay people, and those who
would like to fuel an informed reflection on how humility might
make interactions more civil in relationships, organizations,
communities, political processes, and national and international
relations.

Learning how to do research well is not easy, and for newer
scholars the process can feel overwhelming. Using clear and
supportive language, this book is designed help graduate students
and early career professionals in psychology develop skills to
effectively work through the research process. Â Chapters
cover the essential character traits and skills that are necessary
to become an effective researcher, walk through the main steps for
completing a research project from start to finish, and discuss
considerations when building a career and research program. Rather
than the nitty-gritty of research methods, authors Joshua N. Hook,
Don E. Davis, and Daryl R. Van Tongeren focus on the big picture of
what is required in research. Chapters in the first section address
overarching principles—the personal growth, attributes, and
habits that are important to develop to become a successful
researcher. The second section illustrates the key steps in
completing a research project from start to finish, from
formulating an idea for a project, to completing a literature
review, collecting data, analyzing data, and writing up the
results. The third section discusses developing a research program
and transitioning from graduate student to professional—topics
such as collaborating with others in research and mentoring
students. This section is full of practical advice the authors
learned from mentors and from personal experience. Â Written
for people with a broad range of career goals, and with the
mentoring relationship in mind, the book helps mentors and students
form productive relationships that feel mutually beneficial and
rewarding. Each chapter aims to help students and professionals
along their research journey, and teaches them not just how to
survive the process, but thrive.
Eastern spirituality has exerted considerable influence on the
fields of counseling and psychology through the use of
mindfulness-based practices. This book serves as a practical
introduction to integrating mindfulness-based practices in therapy,
with a focus on assessing whether it is appropriate to use or adapt
mindfulness activities to the specific cultural identity or
identities of clients. Interventions can be adapted to account for
clients' religious/spiritual identity, gender norms, racial/ethnic
background, community values and pressures, personality traits,
unfamiliarity with mindfulness-based practices, cognitive
flexibility, and individual life experiences. The authors present
an approach to integrating mindfulness in therapy that emphasizes
cultural humility, which combines an accurate view of oneself
(including limits in one's awareness, knowledge, and skills for
working with individuals from diverse groups) with the ability to
cultivate an "other-oriented" stance, thus enhancing one's ability
to work with clients from a variety of cultural backgrounds. By
incorporating this client-centered approach, therapists will be
better able to align the therapy process with clients' values,
narratives about change, and therapy goals.
Are Christian treatments as effective as secular treatments? What
is the evidence to support its success? Christians engaged in the
fields of psychology, psychotherapy and counseling are living in a
unique moment. Over the last couple decades, these fields have
grown more and more open to religious belief and
religion-accommodative therapies. At the same time, Christian
counselors and psychotherapists encounter pressure (for example,
from insurance companies) to demonstrate that their accommodative
therapies are as beneficial as secular therapies. This raises the
need for evidence to support Christian practices and treatments.
The essays gathered in this volume explore evidence-based Christian
treatments, practices, factors and principles. The authors mine the
relevant research and literature to update practicing
psychotherapists, clinical researchers, students, teachers and
educated laypersons about the efficacy of certain
Christian-accommodative therapies. Topics covered in the book
include: devotional meditation cognitive-behavior therapy
psychodynamic and process-experiential therapies couples, marriage
and family therapy group intervention The book concludes with a
review of the evidence for the various treatments discussed in the
chapters, a guide for conducting clinical trials that is essential
reading for current or aspiring researchers, and reflections by the
editors about the future of evidence-based Christian practices. As
the editors say, "more research is necessary." To that end, this
volume is a major contribution to a field of inquiry that, while
still in its infancy, promises to have enormous implications for
future work in Christian counseling and psychotherapy. Christian
Association for Psychological Studies (CAPS) Books explore how
Christianity relates to mental health and behavioral sciences
including psychology, counseling, social work, and marriage and
family therapy in order to equip Christian clinicians to support
the well-being of their clients.
