Book Description

What Every Therapist Needs to Know About Anxiety Disorders is an integrated and practical approach to treating anxiety disorders for general psychotherapists. What is new and exciting is its focus on changing a patient’s relationship to anxiety in order to enable enduring recovery rather than merely offering a menu of techniques for controlling symptoms. Neither a CBT manual nor an academic text nor a self-help book, What Every Therapist Needs to Know About Anxiety Disorders offers page after page of key insights into ways to help patients suffering from phobias, panic attacks, unwanted intrusive thoughts, compulsions and worries. The authors offer a rich array of therapist-patient vignettes, case examples, stories, and metaphors that will complement the work of trainees and experienced clinicians of every orientation. Readers will come away from the book with a new framework for understanding some of the most frustrating clinical challenges in anxiety disorders, including "reassurance junkies," endless obsessional loops, and the paradoxical effects of effort.

Book Description

This is a comprehensive clinical resource for addiction counselors who want to learn about the psychological components of the problem, for individual therapists—dynamic, cognitive, and behavioral—who want to understand systems approaches in order to draw on a broader repertoire of useful interventions, and for couple and family therapists who want to learn more about the intrapsychic, biological, and pharmacological aspects of addiction. Dr. Jerome D. Levin takes the reader down the parallel paths of addiction treatment and individual and family therapy until they meet on the bridge of actual clinical practice. Practitioner, professor, prolific author, and respected authority in the field, Dr. Levin uses approaches to the treatment of alcoholism as a model for illustrating how theory, research, technique, and flying by the seat of the professional pants can integrate into a therapeutic style to help substance abusers and their partners and families.

Book Description

Therapists new to Single-Session Therapy (SST) will often struggle to bring the SST mindset to the work and will in turn struggle to help their clients get the most out of the time that they choose to spend together. How to Think and Intervene Like a Single-Session Therapist provides the trainee with an opportunity to discover how experienced therapists think, and how their thoughts influence their interventions within the single-session context. Presenting SST in a way that both interests conventional therapists and shows the potential of this way of delivering therapy services, Windy Dryden details the multiple levels of thinking and intervening that go into single-session practice. He covers the orientation thinking experienced SST therapists have about the work when they are not doing it, the pre-session thinking they engage in while actively preparing to do the work, and the in-session thinking they engage in while doing the work. The book outlines the theory behind SST and the ways those ideas form its practice, using clinical vignettes and case scenarios to demonstrate how single-session therapists can make the best use of the limited time with their clients. The book additionally presents an ongoing dialogue between an SST therapist and a conventional therapist to highlight the thinking of the former and how the criticisms of SST by the latter can be responded to. This highly practical guide will be essential reading for any therapist who is new to or has recently been introduced to the practice of SST.

Book Description

With the ubiquity of knowledge on too many topics relevant to psychotherapy and life problems, it is difficult for therapists to muddle through and stay up-to-date. Therapists often have to choose between braving a bewildering onslaught of information and wishfully disregarding all that’s out there. What Every Therapist Needs to Know answers for therapists the practical, humble question, “What do I need to know about a topic to practice competently?” This book provides an engaging overview on the topics that working clinicians need to know about, while drawing parallels between the therapist’s professional growth and the patient’s personal growth. Foundational knowledge on learning, life, and psychology segues into the therapy topics of conflict resolution, the working alliance, the therapeutic frame, technique, and feedback. What Every Therapist Needs to Know emphasizes the application of psychological theories to the therapy itself and not just to the patient’s life.

Book Description

Each day a new law or regulation affects the way respiratory therapists perform their jobs. This basic legal guide contains the extensive information respiratory therapists need to know about the court system, lawyers, law, and litigation. Written by the author, a lawyer and therapist with 13 years of clinical experience ranging from floor therapy to administrative and management functions, this book combines the author's knowledge of the complex interactions in the legal system and how the legal system relates to therapy delivered at the bedside. A resource for students and professionals, the book presents 16 areas of the law, including medical negligence, hospital law and employment law. The text also contains a series of questions and answers about the subject areas of the law, and provides extensive guidance for therapists navigating the treacherous currents of ever changing laws. This is a book for anyone who treats respiratory therapy patients or manages therapists. Most legal texts are written either by non-lawyers or non-therapists. Non-lawyers do not understand the complex interactions in the legal system, and are not permitted to give advice. Non-therapists may understand the law very well, but be unable to relate to how therapy is delivered at the bedside. This book is written by a therapist who is a lawyer, and who has been at the bedside. With thirteen years of clinical experience ranging from floor-therapy to administration and management functions, the author understands how a hospital works. The result is a book that is useful both as a course-book and as a reference
