Hays' popular bestseller invites readers to move beyond a
one-dimensional view of identity to a nuanced understanding of the
overlapping cultural influences that affect us all. This fourth
edition features new chapters featuring culturally adapted
cognitive behavioral tools and techniques, and trauma due to racism
and other systemic forms of oppression. It remains richly
illustrated with case material, with many new vignettes and
examples demonstrating the ADDRESSING framework in both counseling
and clinical practice. Other new material includes updated
discussion of gender identity, with attention to clinically
relevant research regarding transgender and nonbinary people, more
on people with disabilities (the largest minority group in the
U.S.), the latest terminology and language regarding diverse
minority groups, and a special section on social justice and its
relationship to therapeutic practice. In an increasingly diverse
society, mental health providers must be able to work effectively
with a wide variety of clients. The ADDRESSING framework shows
clinicians and counselors how to take into account age and
generational influences, developmental or other disabilities,
religion and spirituality, ethnic and racial identity, Indigenous
heritage, national origin, socioeconomic status, sexual
orientation, and gender. Each chapter includes Key Ideas summaries
and practice exercises, making this book ideal for personal
education or group use.
This book presents scientifically-supported guidance for people who
want to replace stress and painful emotions with a sense of
well-being and contentment. With empathy and unfailing good humour,
Dr. Pamela Hays outlines a four-step process that has proven
successful in her professional clinical psychology practice as well
as in her own life. She invites readers to step onto the path of
well-being by recognising their stressors, avoiding negative
thought-traps, re-examining their thinking, and taking action
wherever possible, using environmental change, better communication
skills, social support, and self-care. Each chapter demonstrates
how taking small, manageable steps adds up, over time, to real and
permanent change. Packed with tips and tools for self-reflection
and behavioural change, this book shows readers how to build
well-being from the ground up.
This volume shows mental health providers how to integrate cultural
factors into cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). Contributing authors
describe the application of CBT with clients of diverse cultures,
and discusses how therapists can refine CBT to increase its
effectiveness with clients from a variety of cultural backgrounds.
They examine the unique characteristics of, and the use of CBT with
various racial, ethnic, and religious minority groups in the United
States including Latinx, Asian Americans, African Americans,
American Indians, Alaska natives, Arabs, and Orthodox Jews.
Strategies for using CBT with older adults, individuals with
disabilities, and LGBTQ clients are also examined. A chapter on
culturally responsive CBT clinical supervision closes this volume.
This second edition includes fully-updated demographic information,
a greater emphasis on culture-specific assessments, and a chapter
on using CBT with clients of South Asian descent.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a complex and evolving model
of treatment that has been developed for and applied to a wide
range of mental and physical problems and disorders. CBT's
flexibility as a model can also make it a difficult technique to
master. To be an effective cognitive behavioural therapist, the
practitioner must be able to learn the broad principles related to
CBT, and understand how to adapt those principles to his or her
varied clients. Intended as a stand-alone companion to the APA
video series of the same title, this book brings together three
esteemed leaders and trainers in the field to elucidate the key
principles, frameworks, and therapeutic processes that are used by
effective cognitive behaviour therapists. In engaging language,
this slim and approachable volume follows the typical sequence of
delivering CBT to a client, with chapters focusing on assessment,
case conceptualizations, core beliefs, behavioural strategies,
problem-solving strategies, cultural responsiveness, and techniques
to address distorted thinking. Featuring illustrative hypothetical
cases and discussion of cutting-edge research, this book will give
therapists a rich understanding of the various methods, approaches,
and ideas that drive modern CBT.
