Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1986. When the first edition of this book was published in 1964, it was seen as being in the area of irregulars in the psychotherapy field as behavior therapies had not yet found a place in the established genre. The new edition catches up on twenty years of academic and scientific study which have done much to resolve conflict and validate the major modes of psychotherapy; spinoffs of familiar therapies have moved the field toward synthesis, integration, and ecumenism, on one hand (Cognitive Behavior Therapies), and toward antinomian religions and recreation on the other.

Download or read book Modes of Therapeutic Action written by Martha Stark and published by Jason Aronson, Incorporated. This book was released on 2000-12-01 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we position ourselves, moment by moment, in relation to our patients and how do these positions inform both what we come to know about our patients and how we intervene? Do we participate as neutral object, as empathic self-object, or as authentic subject? Do we strive to enhance the patient's knowledge, to provide a corrective experience, or to work at the intimate edge? In an effort to answer these and other clinically relevant questions about the process of psychotherapeutic change, Martha Stark has developed a comprehensive theory of therapeutic action that integrates the interpretive perspective of classical psychoanalysis (Model 1), the corrective-provision perspective of self psychology and those object relations theories emphasizing the internal 'absence of good' (Model 2), and the relational perspective of contemporary psychoanalysis and those object relations theories emphasizing the internal 'presence of bad' (Model 3). Model I is about knowledge and insight. It is a one-person psychology because its focus is on the patient and the internal workings of her mind. Model 2 is about corrective experience. It is a one-and-a-half-person psychology because its emphasis is not so much on the relationship per se, but on the filling in of the patient's deficits by way of the therapist's corrective provision; what ultimately matters is not who the therapist is, but, rather, what she can offer. Model 3 is about relationship, the real relationship. It is a two-person psychology because its focus is on patients and therapists who relate to each other as real people; it is about mutuality, reciprocity, and intersubjectivity. Whereas Model 2 is about 'give' and involves the therapist's bringing the best of who she is into the room, Model 3 is about 'give-and-take' and involves the therapist's bringing all of who she is into the room. As Dr. Stark repeatedly demonstrates in numerous clinical vignettes, the three modes of therapeutic actionDknowledge, experience, and relationshipDare not mutually exclusive but mutually enhancing. If, as therapists, we can tolerate the necessary uncertainty that comes with the recognition that there is an infinite variety of possibilities for change, then we will be able to enhance the therapeutic potential of each moment and optimize our effectiveness as clinicians.

Download or read book Facing Human Suffering written by Ronald B. Miller and published by Amer Psychological Assn. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a broad, multidisciplinary review of the literature, Miller argues that there is an urgent need for a learning process that helps prepare students for therapeutic encounters. He proposes that the clinical case study is the optimal vehicle for communicating clinical knowledge and conducting clinical research. Although case studies are frequently derided as being of limited applicability, Miller shows how, by following a quasijudicial method, "case law" and reliable principles of practice can be developed. Designed for the undergraduate, graduate student, or professional psychologist who has become disenchanted with the experimental and quantitative approach to psychology, this book provides answers for those who seek a legitimate alternative.

Download or read book Ethics and Values in Psychotherapy written by Alan Tjeltveit and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethics and Values in Psychotherapy is an examination of the role of the therapist as ethicist and the ways in which the ethical convictions of both therapist and client contribute to the practical process of psychotherapy. As Psychotherapy strives to establish itself as a 'Profession', practitioners are increasinly focusing on the issue of ethics as they attempt to agree on guidelines and standards for professional practice. Alan Tjeltveit argues that any discussion of professional and ethical practice in psychotherapy is inadequate if carried out in ignorance of or in isolation from traditional ethical theories. He applies this approach to issues such as: * the role of therapy in society * the goals and outcomes of psychotherapy * techniques and practices * the existence and operation of values * the intellectual and social context in which therapy takes place. In the second part of the book, he uses clinical examples and case studies to relate this theoretical discussion to clinical practice. Ethics and Values in Psychotherapy will be welcomed by the growing number of experienced Psychotherapists and post-graduate students who are interested in the increasingly contentious issue of professional ethics.
Download or read book The Healing Virtues written by Duff R. Waring and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-01-21 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Healing Virtues explores the intersection of psychotherapy and virtue ethics - with an emphasis on the patient's role within a healing process. It considers how the common ground between the therapeutic process and the cultivation of virtues can inform the efforts of both therapist and patient. The ethics of psychotherapy revolve partly around what therapists should or should not do as well as the sort of person that therapists should be: e.g., empathic, prudent, compassionate, respectful, and trustworthy. Contemporary practitioners have argued for therapist virtues that are relevant to assisting the patient's efforts in a healing process. But the ethics of a therapeutic dialogue can also revolve around the sort of person the patient should be. Within this book, Duff R. Waring argues that there is a case for patient virtues that are relevant to dealing with the problems in living that arise in psychotherapy, e.g., honesty, courage, humility, perseverance. The central idea is that treatment may need to build virtues while it ameliorates problems. Hence, the patient's work in psychotherapy can both challenge character strengths and result in their further development. The book is unique in bringing the topic of virtue ethics to the psychotherapeutic encounter, and will be of interest to psychotherapists, philosophers, and psychiatrists.

Beyond the Rule Book: Moral Issues and Dilemmas in the Practice of Psychotherapy examines feminist therapy and its commitment to work against injustice and work for social and personal change by providing quality and unbiased services to clients. A dialogue is opened among feminist psychotherapists about the moral aspects of psychotherapy from the standpoint that psychotherapy, without a moral stance, is defined as demoralizing. You will discover psychotherapeutic situations that do not fit into any established ethical code, so that the code must be interpreted and a decision must be made giving your clients unprejudiced and effective service.

You will explore the use of moral codes in feminist therapy and learn practical suggestions for therapeutic self-care to improve the quality of your sessions. In addition, these suggestions will teach you to model positive behavior in sessions and prevent burnout. Some of the areas of feminist therapy you will explore include: lesbian feminism and deconstructing the lesbian feminist "rules" of sexuality and physical appearance case examples of clinical situations where the therapist is able to use her moral stance to help low-income clients with homophobia and paternalism case examples and creative interpretation of a biblical text to create a moral view for the feminist therapist ways to morally and ethically work in a penal or other institutional system that may be racist and patriarchal, and may also be inherently antagonistic to the development of trust in the therapeutic relationship questions about boundaries with clients with disabilities, being effective with this population, valuing the disability culture, and being aware of the differences between disability and impairment the interface between personal and political agendas for the therapist and the client Beyond the Rule Book will show you how the issue of morality affects your services and how to make decisions beyond established ethical codes. You will explore and consider questions such as "What is the role of morality in psychotherapy?" and "What is the role of psychotherapy in a moral or an immoral society?" This well-written and informative book will assist you in choosing and applying a moral framework to your work as a feminist therapist, also giving clients effective and responsible services without any unfair and premature judgements.
Download or read book Insane Therapy written by Marybeth Ayella and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 1998-04-06 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sensational media coverage of groups like Heaven's Gate, the People's Temple, and Synanon is tinged with the suggestion that only crazy, lonely, or gullible people join cults. Cults attract people on the fringe of society, people already on the edge. Contrary to this public perception, Marybeth Ayella reveals how anyone seeking personal change in an intense community setting is susceptible to the lure of group influence. The book begins with the candid story of how one keen skeptic was recruited by Moonies in the 1970s -- the author herself. Ayella's personal experience fueled her interest in studying the cult phenomenon. This book focuses on her analysis of one community in southern California, The Center for Feeling Therapy, which opened in 1971 as an offshoot of Arthur Janov's Primal Scream approach. The group attracted mostly middle-class, college-educated clients interested in change through intense sessions led by licensed therapists. At the time of the Center's collapse in 1980, there were three hundred individuals living in the therapeutic community and another six hundred outpatients. Through interviews with twenty-one former patients, the author develops a picture of the positive changes they sought, the pressures of group living, and the allegations of abuse against therapists. Many patients contended that they were beaten, made to strip before the group and to engage in forced sex, forced to have abortions and give up children, and coerced to donate money and to work in business affiliated with the Center. The close of the Center brought yet more trauma to the patients as they struggled to readjust to mainstream life. Ayella recounts the stories of these individuals, again and again returning to the question of how personal identity is formed and the power of social influences. This book is a key to understanding how "normal" people wind up in cults.

Download or read book Psychology Psychotherapy Psychoanalysis and the Politics of Human Relationships written by Laurence Simon and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2003-05-30 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a psychology of human personality and behavior created as a function of the politics practiced by the social structure in which they are based. The interaction of individuals with authoritarian/totalitarian, democratic/humanistic and anarchistic forms of politics is examined. The focus is on the particular type of politics practiced by psychiatry, psychotherapy, and psychoanalysis, with the conclusion that these enterprises operate more along authoritarian/totalitarian than democratic/humanistic lines. Simon argues that the mental health field, as currently dominated by psychiatric thinking entrenched in the myths of mental illness, is acting as a social control agency and a force in the development of a totalitarian state. This volume aso offers a view of how psychotherapy can be used as a means to fuel democratic states for individuals. Other works that focus on the politics of psychiatric services have also emerged since Thomas Szasz' work, The Myth of Mental Illness, but this is the first to demonstrate the dangers of the psychiatry and therapy industries from this variety of political, religious, and scientific perspectives.
