Publisher's Notes
This brief paperback presents in-depth coverage of the relatively new area of positive psychology. Topically organized, it looks at how positive psychology relates to stresses and health within such traditional research areas as developmental, clinical, personality, motivational, social, and behavioral psychology. The text is a perfect supplement for Introductory Psychology, Psychology of Adjustment, Health Psychology, or Social Psychology courses. It can also be used as a primary text in upper level courses, such as the Psychology of Happiness.

Treating Affect Phobia
by Stuart Andrews
This hands-on manual from Leigh McCullough and associates teaches the nuts and bolts of practicing short-term dynamic psychotherapy, the research-supported model first presented in Changing Character, McCullough's foundational text. Reflecting the ongoing evolution of the approach, the manual emphasizes "affect phobia," or conflict about feelings. It shows how such proven behavioral techniques as systemic desensitization can be applied effectively within a psychodynamic framework, and offers clear guidelines for when and how to intervene. Demonstrated are procedures for assessing patients, formulating core conflicts, and restructuring defenses, affects, and relationship to the self and others. Presented in an easy-to-use, large-size format, the book features a wealth of case examples and write-in exercises to help therapists build and practice key skills.

Cognitive-Behavioral Group Therapy for Social Phobia
by Robert F. Becker
This volume presents the first published manual for cognitive-behavioral group therapy for social phobia (CBGT), an empirically supported treatment approach that has been applied in clinical and research settings for over 20 years. Part I provides an up-to-date overview of the disorder, addressing such issues as classification, diagnosis, prevalence, and comorbidity. A comprehensive cognitive-behavioral model of social phobia is delineated, and assessment procedures are described in depth. Part II takes the clinician step by step through implementing each of the 12 sessions of CBGT. The authors demonstrate how to orient clients to the approach; implement in-session exposures, cognitive restructuring techniques, and homework assignments; and overcome stumbling blocks in treatment. Filled with helpful clinical pointers, case examples, and therapist-client dialogues, the book also includes handy sample handouts and forms.

Interpersonal Reconstructive Therapy
by Lorna Smith Benjamin
What can be done to help those persons who consistently do not respond to therapeutic interventions, despite significant suffering and repeated attempts to seek treatment? Filling a crucial need, this book presents a powerful evidence-based approach to working with individuals with severe, treatment-refractory conditions, including but not limited to personality disorders. Leading scientist-practitioner Lorna Smith Benjamin provides both a comprehensive introduction to interpersonal reconstructive therapy (IRT) and clear, step-by-step guidelines for practice. At the heart of IRT is a clearly explained method of case conceptualization that links presenting symptoms to longstanding patterns in interpersonal relationships; targets the motivational factors that maintain current difficulties; helps therapist and client collaborate to stay focused on key therapeutic goals; and facilitates the learning of new patterns through a variety of carefully planned interventions. Solidly grounded in theory and research, the volume is illustrated with rich clinical examples that bring core principles to life.
