This practical Reader brings together the major writings of the past decade on rational emotive behaviour therapy (REBT), originally called rational-emotive therapy (RET). An overview by Albert Ellis, founder of REBT, introduces its theory and practice. The book then addresses preliminary issues such as building a therapeutic alliance with clients and assessing their problems. The bulk of the discussion that follows focuses on therapeutic intervention including: disputing irrational beliefs; activity and directiveness; vivid methods; and therapeutic efficiency. Chapters are included on the step-by-step practicalities of the counselling sequence and process. An afterword defends the tough-minded approach of REBT against the
¿Existe algún método terapéutico capaz de producir un cambio más duradero que los demás? Albert Ellis describe en Una terapia breve más profunda y duradera el modo en que la terapia racional emotivo-conductual, enfoque que él mismo creó, puede ayudar a los pacientes a experimentar un profundo cambio en todos los niveles, entre ellos el filosófico, el emocional y el conductual.
¿Realmente somos conscientes de que, en muchos sentidos, la ansiedad es una bendición? Protege de los peligros, preserva la vida y hace que nos demos cuenta de las cosas negativas que es posible cambiar. Pero es indispensable que se trate de una ansiedad sana, es decir, asociada a una actitud de inquietud, precaución y vigilancia. La ansiedad malsana, en cambio, es muy distinta. Conduce a un pánico paralizador, a preocupaciones obsesivas y a fobias que nos impiden realizar ciertas cosas por considerarlas peligrosas, cuando en realidad no lo son. La ansiedad malsana inhibe nuestra capacidad para disfrutar de las actividades cotidianas y de las relaciones, haciendo que las veamos como demasiado arriesgadas. Afortunadamente, siguiendo las reglas de la Terapia Racional Emotivo-Conductual (TREC) que se expone en este libro, usted podrá controlar la ansiedad antes de que ésta le controle a usted, puesto que son sus expectativas poco realistas las que le provocan una ansiedad innecesaria.
La mayor parte del sufrimiento y los trastornos psicológicos de los seres humanos son reacciones exageradas e innecesarias que pueden ser objeto de una reducción significativa. Éste es el sencillo mensaje que transmite este libro. La irritación, la ansiedad y la depresión no sólo son innecesarias, sino que además, cuando alguien se permite cualquier tipo de trastorno emocional, está siendo injusto y desleal consigo mismo. El doctor Albert Ellis afirma que somos nosotros mismos quienes creamos nuestros propios sentimientos y optamos por pensar y sentir de maneras autopunitivas. Y concluye que uno de los caminos más apropiados para salir de esta trampa es la aplicación de los principios de la terapia racional emotivo-conductual. Dados el estrés y la tensión de la vida moderna, lo último que necesitamos son esos problemas agobiantes que nos provoca nuestra propia manera de pensar y sentir respecto al mundo y la gente que nos rodea. El método esbozado en este libro, tan sencillo como lógico, es el enfoque más sólido esbozado hasta el momento para adquirir una óptima salud mental y una felicidad verdadera.
La ira es un fenómeno universal que, si no se controla, puede ocasionar graves daños: la ruptura de una relación, la pérdida de nuestro trabajo o incluso una enfermedad grave. Sin embargo, en nuestra época, cuando el estrés es cada vez mayor, ¿quién no se ha dejado llevar por ella en alguna ocasión? ¿Existe alguna manera eficaz de resolver nuestros problemas sin que la ira entre en escena? Los autores de este libro creen que podemos lograrlo si seguimos sus innovadores consejos. El psicólogo Albert Ellis y Raymond Chip Tafrate nos ofrecen un método para abordar eficazmente los problemas emocionales, mediante unas técnicas que nos enseñarán las raíces y la naturaleza de nuestra ira.

Based on decades of theory, research, and practice, this seminalbook presents a detailed and comprehensive review, evaluation, andintegration of the scientific and empirical research relevant toAaron T. Beck's cognitive theory and therapy of depression. Sinceits emergence in the early 1960s, Beck's cognitive perspective hasbecome one of the most influential and well-researchedpsychological theories of depression. Over 900 scientific andscholarly references are contained in the present volume, providingthe most current and exhaustive evaluation of the scientific statusof the cognitive theory of depression. Though the application of cognitive therapy has been welldocumented in the publication of treatment manuals, the cognitivetheory of depression has not been presented in a unified manneruntil the publication of this book. Coauthored by the father ofcognitive therapy, Scientific Foundations of Cognitive Theory andTherapy of Depression offers the most complete and authoritativeaccount of Beck's theory of depression since the publication ofDepression: Causes and Treatment in 1967. Through its elaborationof recent theoretical developments in cognitive theory and itsreview of...
A look at the history of psychiatry’s foundational impact on the lives of queer and gender-variant people. In the mid-twentieth century, American psychiatrists proclaimed homosexuality a mental disorder, one that was treatable and amenable to cure. Drawing on a collection of previously unexamined case files from St. Elizabeths Hospital, In the Shadow of Diagnosis explores the encounter between psychiatry and queer and gender-variant people in the mid- to late-twentieth-century United States. It examines psychiatrists’ investments in understanding homosexuality as a dire psychiatric condition, a judgment that garnered them tremendous power and authority at a time that historians have characterized as psychiatry’s “golden age.” That stigmatizing diagnosis made a deep and lasting impact, too, on queer people, shaping gay life and politics in indelible ways. In the Shadow of Diagnosis helps us understand the adhesive and ongoing connection between queerness and sickness.
En respuesta al interés creciente del equipo de la Facultad de Psicología de la Universitat Abat Oliba CEU, este libro reúne escritos que vinculan la antropología cristiana con las ciencias de la salud mental para un reenfoque en clave humanista del estudio de la psique humana. Estas páginas quieren promover un debate académico vivo entre profesionales cristianos de múltiples confesiones y, al mismo tiempo, crear un espacio de encuentro entre la reflexión antropológica y las aportaciones de las disciplinas de salud mental. Además, en los ensayos aquí presentados, hay una apuesta por superar el efecto reduccionista de los modelos imperantes en las ciencias de la salud mental que, con frecuencia, dejan fuera cualquier alusión a lo trascendente. En consecuencia, los profesionales no pocas veces carecen de formación adecuada para comprender lo que verdaderamente acontece en el interior de la persona. Este libro invita a abrirse a un dinamismo confrontador con Cristo como una opción a considerar frente al actual malestar del ser humano.
Leading psychologist, lecturer, and author Windy Dryden has compiled his most valuable writings on Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy from the last thirty five years. This collection reveals the thinking, concepts and practical experience that have made Dryden one of the most respected and cited REBT authorities of our time. Dryden has authored or edited over 195 books and established Europe’s first Masters in REBT. While his primary allegiance remains with REBT, he has published extensively on CBT and the wider issues of psychotherapy. Dryden’s pluralistic perspective on REBT comes through in such seminal pieces as: The therapeutic alliance in rational-emotive individual therapy Compromises in rational-emotive therapy Adapting CBT to a broad clientele Unconditional self-acceptance and self-compassion
Contributors to this unique book explain and compare major theories drawn from several academic fields to uncover the root causes of deviance. In this unparalleled exploration of antisocial and aberrant behavior, criminologists and other experts examine the theoretical perspectives of 15 classical psychological, political science, and economics scholars to shed light on the impetus for deviant behaviors. Murder, mayhem, robbery, sexual assault, and sexual activity with minor children are among the degenerate behaviors cited. Each chapter focuses on the effectiveness of a specific theory, and considers conundrums such as "Does the Darwinian approach explain sexual assault as a drive to procreate?" "Can B.F. Skinner's theoretical perspective explain pedophilia?" and "Can an individual be incompetent at the time of an offense and competent at the time of the trial?" The book reveals how the major psychological, social, and environmental doctrines can explain the behaviors and patterns of a nonconforming mindset. The work addresses the theories of well-known thinkers like Karl Marx, Charles Darwin, Travis Hirschi, and Sigmund Freud, among others.
Theories and Applications of Counseling and Psychotherapy provides students with the foundational knowledge needed to implement various therapeutic approaches in individual and family counseling.

Most consumers of mental health services assume that psychology developed as a bias-free social science, with research data driving theory and practice. This view is greatly flawed, as virtually all of the key theorists advanced their views based primarily on observations, personal insights, and "beliefs." These thinkers held a hostile view of faith, dismissing religious values as a sign of mental illness. While psychotherapy literally means "care of the soul," mental health treatment largely excludes matters of the heart such as moral fiber and spirit. Lost has been the idea that virtues such as courage and hope play an intensely vital role in mental wellness. More troubling is the fact that most recipients of psychological services assume that mental health professionals, because of their training, possess sophisticated insights only they can dispense to relieve mental distress. Because the majority of mental health treatment has historically functioned from an illness model, both treatment providers and consumers have deemed faith beliefs and character strengths irrelevant to good mental health. Fortunately, the last twenty years of scientific research has reestablished the...

El guano, las aves y las islas guaneras han jugado un papel inmenso en nuestra historia desde la época precolombina; así, los antiguos peruanos consideraban esas islas, los seres que las habitaban y los excrementos que las cubrían como sagrados y dignos de ser venerados. A mediados del siglo XIX, el guano irrumpió en el mundo como materia prima agrícola, en el momento álgido de la era de la mercantilización. En Perú se suele ver esta Edad del Guano como una época de oportunidades perdidas; no obstante, aún queda mucho que aprender de la "falaz prosperidad" que precedió al megafenómeno El Niño de 1877-1878. Sin embargo, el autor sostiene que el excremento de estas aves marinas proporcionó al país otro tipo de portal para entender la conexión de la historia del Perú con el océano Pacífico y con los pueblos y naciones del "Mundo del Pacífico" durante la era moderna. Los lectores encontrarán temas que incluyen no solo el análisis de naciones como la peruana o la chilena relacionadas con la explotación del fertilizante y su comercialización, sino de los grandes países industrializados y la relación de todos ellos con el medioambiente. Sin duda, una monumental...

A private conversation about the culture of education related to Black Americans always yields poignant and sometimes painful truths. As the reader of this text, you are on the receiving end of a personal dialogue based on experiential polemics unrestrained by the politics of academic marketing. In this treatise of thought on the intersectionality of education, society, and Black Americans, Alonzo DeCarlo engages the reader with textbook flair in some places and subtle diatribes in others about a philosophy of Being Black in the United States while pursuing educational mainstays. In a world where the legal and constitutional support promises so much yet delivers so little, this book is in part a research text that specifically puts Black American education at front and center. It polemically discusses the academic enterprise in the United States. It offers novel insights for all parties involved in the educational ecosystem, which continues to disfavor Black Americans and others in the general population. The book can be thought of as a flowchart that connects factors, which contribute to underachievement in many educational domains and over-representation in institutions that...

In Very Brief Cognitive Behavioural Coaching Windy Dryden presents VBCBC: a unique approach to coaching from a cognitive behavioural perspective which takes place over the course of one to three sessions. The approach is designed to help coachees identify at least one major objective, discuss and select ways to achieve it and, if necessary, deal with obstacles that they experience in pursuing it. The book presents the basic assumptions of the Very Brief Cognitive Behavioural Coaching (VBCBC) approach, how it can be understood from the perspective of working alliance theory and recommendations concerning when it can be used and when not. Dryden begins by defining coaching and explaining the aims of VBCBC, before examining the input factors which can increase its effectiveness and concluding with a seven-stage process view. The book also includes a transcript of a real VBCBC session, with commentary. Written clearly and accessibly, this will be essential reading for coaches of all backgrounds interested in brief approaches, including those in training, coaching psychologists and coach supervisors.

Interest in the functioning of the human mind can certainly be traced to Plato and Aristotle who often dealt with issues of perceptions and motivations. While the Greeks may have contemplated the human condition, the modern study of the human mind can be traced back to Sigmund Freud (1900) and the psychoanalytic movement. He began the exploration of both conscious and unconscious factors that propelled humans to engage in a variety of behaviors. While Freud’s focus may have been on repressed sexuality our focus in this volume lies elsewhere. We are concerned herein with the expression of the cognitions, motivations, passions, intentions, perceptions, and emotions associated with entrepreneurial behaviors. We are attempting in this volume to expand on the work of why entrepreneurs think d- ferently from other people (Baron, 1998, 2004). During the decade of the 1990s the eld of entrepreneurship research seemingly abandoned the study of the entrepreneur. This was the result of earlier research not being able to demonstrate some unique entrepreneurial personality, trait, or char- teristic (Brockhaus and Horwitz, 1986). It was both a naïve and simplistic search for the “holy...

La psicopatología es la disciplina científica que estudia los trastornos mentales tanto desde una vertiente descriptiva (diagnóstico, clasificación, sintomatología) como desde una vertiente explicativa (etiopatogenia, factores de vulnerabilidad, modelos y teorías). El enfoque de esta obra recoge especialmente la vertiente descriptiva. La lectura de Psicopatología permite profundizar en el concepto de anormalidad psicológica, conocer los sistemas de clasificación de los trastornos mentales más utilizados, identificar los principales trastornos mentales según las características clínicas, su curso y pronóstico, su diagnóstico diferencial y su epidemiología y aproximarse al estudio de la etiología y de los modelos teóricos en psicopatología.
