Download or read book Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Interpersonal Problems written by Matthew McKay and published by New Harbinger Publications. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Interpersonal Problems presents a complete treatment protocol for therapists working with clients who repeatedly fall into unhealthy patterns in their relationships with friends, family members, coworkers, and romantic partners. These clients may blame others, withdraw when feeling threatened, react defensively in conflicts, or have a deep-seated sense of distrust—all interpersonal problems that damage relationships and cause enormous suffering. This book presents an acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) approach—utilizing a schema-based formulation—to help these clients overcome maladaptive interpersonal behavior. First, clients learn how schema avoidance behavior damages their relationships. Second, clients face “creative hopelessness” and practice new mindfulness skills. Third, clients examine what they value in their relationships and what they hope to gain from them, and translate their values into clear intentions for acting differently in the future. And lastly, clients face the cognitive and emotional barriers standing between them and values-based behavior in their relationships. By learning to act on their values instead of falling into schema-influenced patterns, clients can eventually overcome the interpersonal problems that hold them back.

Download or read book The One Way Relationship Workbook written by Alan Cavaiola and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2011-07-13 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When you interact with a friend, family member, intimate partner, or coworker who is a narcissist, there's no give and take. The relationship only goes one way-their way-and you constantly have to adjust your own expectations and behavior to meet their standards. That's because people with narcissistic personality disorder, or NPD, are preoccupied with seeking admiration and power and find it difficult to empathize with others' feelings. And, as if maintaining a good relationship with a narcissist weren't hard enough, most narcissists do not realize or believe that they have a disorder at all. That's why The One-Way Relationship Workbook was created to help you effectively improve and ultimately transform your relationship with the self-absorbed, self-centered, or narcissistic individuals in your life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We've all been there; what seemed like the perfect man or woman at the time has left our heart in pieces. The weeks following a breakup are usually consumed by unbearable grief, hours in bed and multiple cartons of Ben and Jerry's. Rather than keep up this vicious cycle following the demise of one's relationship, Cardon offers various ways to break the cycle and move on in “Breakups Blow!”In a humorous, honest and heartfelt manner, Cardon uses her personal experiences and heartbreaks to help readers move through their own breakup wounds. The author feels that she has done the legwork on what eases the pain of a broken heart, and she has included it in “Breakups Blow!” to help her fellow woman. After reviewing a journal she had kept over the years, Cardon began to notice a pattern to her relationships.“My patterns were astounding, and with each mind-numbing breakup, I learned through trial and error what works for moving forward and what keeps you stuck,” Cardon says. “I wish I had a book like 'Breakups Blow!' when I was going through my breakups.”

Download or read book Interpersonal Adaptation written by Judee K. Burgoon and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-01-18 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When people communicate, they often adapt their interaction styles to one another. For example, they may match each other's behavior, synchronize the timing of behavior, or behave in dissimilar ways. This volume analyzes these dyadic interaction patterns and builds a case for a new theory of adaptation: Interaction Adaptation Theory (IAT), which draws the soundest principles from previous theories while being responsive to current empirical evidence. The book concludes with the offer of new research directions that would test the theory in order to bring the research full circle and connect interaction patterns with outcomes. This volume will serve as both a reference guide for researchers and a text for students and faculty in communication, psychology, family studies, counseling, and sociolinguistics.
