This comprehensive guide shows how integrating hypnosis with psychotherapy and mindful meditation can help clinicians treat patients who suffer from chronic and acute pain. David R. Patterson and M. Elena Mendoza present hypnotic analgesia as a viable alternative to psychopharmacological interventions for pain resulting from physical injuries, nerve damage, surgery, neurological problems, and other sources. They review research elucidating the neurophysiological and biopsychosocial roots of pain and provide clinical strategies that can be applied in a variety of settings. Patterson and Mendoza adopt a nuanced treatment model that deemphasizes pain reduction, which can be counterproductive, and focuses instead on adaptive pain management through cognitive restructuring. This second edition includes updated research findings and practice guidelines, including technological innovations like virtual reality hypnosis, and a new chapter on mindful meditation. The authors also add a step-by-step case example that walks readers through an integrative, eight-session process and brings the techniques described in this volume to life.
This book provides scientifically proven strategies for reducing guilt and shame associated with trauma and adversity. Automatic reactions help us survive dangerous situations. Whether we are fighting to fend off an attacker, fleeing an explosion, or freezing to maintain attachment with an abusive parent upon whom we are dependent, our hard-wired reactions keep us safe during intensely stressful times. But these automatic responses can be followed by guilt and shame, which can linger long after the traumatic events, making us anxious, avoidant, overreactive, irritable, depressed, angry, or passive. And these symptoms, in turn, can lead to more guilt and shame, which lead to more problematic coping behaviors, in a continuing cycle. This book helps readers learn to transform their unhealthy guilt and shame by identifying and changing their ways of thinking and acting that may have been adaptive in a past situation but are now keeping them stuck in this unhealthy cycle. In particular, it focuses on five categories of thought that contribute to problematic guilt and shame and shows readers how to recognize and challenge these thoughts. Each chapter contains straightforward written exercises that guide readers through the transformation process, as well as relatable examples for illustration. Grounded in research-supported cognitive behavior therapy principles, this book will help readers break free from survival-based reactivity and regain control over their lives.
This book explains the process by which assessment psychologists can evaluate and report the nature and severity of emotional dysregulation in their young patients. As referrals for clinical assessment of complex children and adolescents frequently involve questions about emotional regulation in general and the possibility of bipolar spectrum conditions in particular, trainees and practitioners will find this to be an invaluable resource. Challenges with emotional regulation are common among patients of all ages who are referred for formal psychological assessment. Understanding the nature and severity of such challenges is crucial if evaluators are to make accurate formulations and develop meaningful treatment implications. This book will illuminate the process by which an assessment psychologist evaluates and reports the nature of emotional dysregulation. It will also serve as a reference book to tailor test batteries, interpret findings related to differential diagnosis, and link test findings with meaningful treatment implications. Topics explored include detailed case examples addressing real-world referral questions, challenges around differential diagnosis, and explanations of treatment implications. Discussion of various assessment measures are considered as well, including more common measures like BASC-3 and performance-based measures as well as disorder-specific measures which may be less familiar to many clinicians. Providers will learn how to differentiate bipolar disorders from other co-occuring mental health disorders that feature dysregulated emotion, including OCD, PTSD, ADHD, and others.
This book is a practical guide to the evidence-based cognitive restructuring (CR) for PTSD treatment, which has been specifically designed to meet the unique needs of people with serious mental illness. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is one of the most common disorders in persons with serious mental illness (SMI), leading to more severe psychiatric symptoms, greater impairment in psychosocial functioning, poorer physical health, and higher use of acute care services. Yet despite major advances in the treatment of PTSD in the general population, for many years PTSD has remained under-diagnosed and under-addressed among SMI sufferers, and treatments have been relatively neglected in this population. The cognitive restructuring (CR) for PTSD program described in this book offers clinicians tools for screening, detecting, and treating PTSD in their clients with SMI, in hopes of addressing the great burden of trauma on their lives. Chapters summarize contemporary research and theory regarding the interaction between PTSD and serious mental illness, and provide nuts and bolts strategies for implementing the cognitive restructuring program, with treatment implications for various sub-populations and different kinds of mental illness including schizophrenia, psychosis, and borderline personality disorder. The book's appendix includes educational handouts and worksheets for delivering the CR for PTSD program and tracking clients' progress throughout. This book also features valuable online resources, including the educational handouts and worksheets translated into Spanish to facilitate using this intervention with Spanish-speaking individuals with SMI, an underserved population with very high rates of trauma and PTSD. A supplemental chapter and practical manual that outline a three-session intervention for PTSD which can be implemented in settings or situations where use of the full CR for PTSD program may not be appropriate are also included online.
This book shows mothers and daughters how to build a solid foundation for a healthy body image. For most women, not a day goes by where we are spared from messages that focus on what we currently look like or what we should look like. This kind of messaging begins very early in life, is difficult to avoid, and can have a strong and long-lasting effect on how we see ourselves. Women are bombarded with information about how our bodies "should" be from our families, friends, media, and culture. By the time we become adults, we have firmly established ideas about body image that are detrimental to our physical and mental well-being, daily functioning, and relationships. But it doesn't have to be this way. Through the joint effort of mother and daughter, a solid foundation for a healthy body image can be constructed, which will serve them both throughout their lifespan. Building a Healthy Body Image Together explores your perceptions of your own body and considers some of the factors that have shaped the way you currently feel about your body. This book offers actionable conversation items, tips, and activities to help you approach the topics of self-concept, family and peer influence, and social media and cultural influence with your daughters appropriate to their developmental level.
This book examines the theory and practice of self-talk in sports performance, with a special emphasis on approaches that move beyond linear, cognitively-focused understandings of self-talk. Self-talk generally begins when children are 2-3 years of age and continues into adulthood, as people talk to themselves both internally and out loud. Self-talk has drawn the interest of sport psychology professionals, researchers, athletes, and coaches who are eager to understand the origins and correlates of self-talk, how self-talk affects them, and how self-talk can be used to enhance sport performance. Starting from a strong theoretical foundation and addressing self-talk in sport myths, this volume moves on to one of the greatest challenges in sport self-talk literature, the crisis of validity of self-talk measurement tools, and provides direction and examples of valid and reliable tools for sport self-talk research. Chapters bring together authors from diverse theoretical backgrounds and fields, and offer tools for coaches and mental health providers to measure self-talk, and examine different approaches to self-talk, including ecological and embodied cognition, and draw important links between self-talk and other areas of cognitive functioning, such as emotion regulation.
This book details the history, science, and practice of Functional Family Therapy (FFT), an evidence-based model practitioners can use to understand families, the problems they face, and how to enable families to create real and lasting change. Functional Family Therapy (FFT) has evolved from a theory taught only in universities to become a treatment model implemented in more than eight countries and ten languages. It features specialized training, certification, and systemic fidelity processes that are used worldwide. FFT has been recognized in recent years as one of the premier evidence-based family intervention models for working with adolescents with problem behaviors. Chapters describe the evolution of the theory and extensive research support for FFT, provide overviews of each stage of treatment, and offer practical guidance for using FFT in a variety of contexts including juvenile and adult justice, child welfare, foster care, and behavioral health; using FFT in community contexts, including training and supervision and measuring and integrating client feedback; and using cutting-edge technological advances to better deliver optimal outcomes for families.
This book describes a relationship-focused approach to the conduct of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) called therapeutic relationship-focused CBT, offering readers a broad conceptualization of the therapeutic relationship by integrating literature that cuts across theoretical frameworks, and applies this conceptualization to illustrate how the therapeutic relationship can be used as both a facilitator of change as well as a central agent of change within the cognitive behavioral framework. In addition to acknowledging important theoretical and empirical scholarship on the therapeutic relationship that has been advanced by renowned CBT scholars, the book highlights and integrates important insights from scholars who operate outside of the cognitive behavioral framework. In addition, it provides clinical guidance for developing, maintaining, and enhancing the therapeutic relationship throughout the course of CBT, and provides case illustrations to support the notion that some of the very best CBT occurs in the context of an issue happening in real time, in session, within the therapeutic relationship. Chapters emphasize that the incorporation of a focus on the therapeutic relationship in CBT has the potential to enhance outcomes and promote treatment engagement for clients. The volume is divided into two parts. The first part on contextual foundations describes theory, discourse, empirical research, and some clinical applications of general aspects of the therapeutic relationship. Part two of the book summarizes clinical guidance for the implementation of therapeutic relationship-focused CBT, showing how the therapeutic relationship can facilitate CBT techniques like cognitive restructuring, social problem solving, exposure, and schema modification. The author discusses how to address sensitive issues that may not typically be addressed in the CBT literature, such as negative client reactions to therapists and vice versa. Guidance for repairing ruptures in the working alliance and ending therapy is also provided. Together, the volume presents a vivid description of a therapeutic relationship-focused CBT that brings together key scholarly advancements on the therapeutic relationship, translates them into clinical guidance, and establishes a foundation for future empirical research and clinical practice.
