Behavioral Family Therapy by Bryan Crisp,David Knox Pdf

Accountability has become the focus of therapy. Parents and spouses in therapy want positive change for their money. This book delivers the goods. Rather than leaving clients to guess whether therapy is working, data verifying the increased frequency of positive behavior and the decreased frequency of negative behavior (along with the desired emotions/feelings) provide the answer. Behavioral Family Therapy not only reviews the theoretical background for change but provides detailed hands-on directives, scripts, and forms/charts for immediate use. It is the ultimate behavioral handbook for the therapist who treats marriages and families. Three chapters of case histories reveal both successes and failures and leave no doubt about how to help parents and spouses achieve their family and marital goals. "I have waited for this book my entire career! It will become required reading for many of the moms and dads and husbands and wives whom I treat. Between these covers Crisp and Knox have anticipated every difficulty that families experience, and then provided straightforward, detailed, easily implemented strategies to effect change. And the best part is that every recommendation and technique is scientifically sound! Get ready for a new healthier family life." -- Barry Lubetkin Ph.D. ABPP, Director The Institute for Behavior Therapy, New York City; Author of Why Do I Need You to Love Me in Order to Like Myself "Crisp and Knox have put together a readable and well-written manual for the behavioral therapist, whether experienced or not. In keeping with every good behaviorist's practice, the book is clear and practical. It also provides easy-to-reproduce forms and checklists that the busy clinician will find useful. I'm sure that my late friend and colleague, Jack Turner -- the consummate teacher of behavioral therapy -- would delight in seeing the dedication page." -- William H. Goodson, Jr., M.D. "This is an outstanding sourcebook for family therapists using behavior analysis! The authors have done an excellent job of taking the basic principles of behavior analysis and applying them very specifically to actual case examples in family therapy. The case examples chosen represent problems that are pretty common for the age groups represented. They also give therapists step-by-step instructions on how to treat these problems and provide forms that can help make the process clearer and more streamlined. I intend to use this book in graduate courses that fulfill the Behavior Analysis Certification Board requirements for applying behavior analysis to specific content areas. I especially enjoyed reading the quotes at the beginning of each chapter! Thank you for writing this wonderful book!" -- Jeannie Golden, Ph.D. "Crisp and Knox provide a succinct, well developed, and comprehensive set of behavioral concepts and procedures and applied the whole to the area of family therapy in an excellent manner." -- Charles H. Madsen, Jr. Ph.D. ABPP

Handbook of Behavioural Family Therapy by Ian Falloon Pdf

First published in 1988, behavioural family therapists worked in an area that had greatly changed since its inception over 20 years before. Growing out of the pioneering work of Gerald Patterson, Robert Paul Liberman, and Richard Stuart, whose backgrounds vary from psychology to psychiatry to social work, behavioural family therapy (BFT) had evolved to encompass systems theory, considerations of the therapeutic alliance, as well as approaches to accounting for and restructuring family members’ subjective experiences through cognitive strategies. As BFT had not been the ‘brain child’ of any one charismatic innovator, but rather of a wide array of clinicians and researchers developing and rigorously testing hypotheses, it is fitting that this much-needed summation of the field was a collaborative product of an array of well-established practitioners of the time. They discuss in Part 1 of the book the theoretical parameters of BFT, focusing on modular behavioural strategies, the indications for therapy, assessment of family problems, pertinent issues arising in clinical practice, and approaches to the problem of resistance to change. Contributors to Part 2 then apply theory to such clinical situations as ‘parent training’ and helping families cope with patients suffering from developmental disabilities, alcoholism, schizophrenia, senile dementia, as well as anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, and depressive disorders. Specific attention is also given to acute inpatient and primary health-care settings. While BFT had already proved quite effective in treating a great number of family problems, it was only in its infancy at the time of writing. As Falloon says in his overview ‘all exponents of the method are constantly involved with the process of refinement, each clinician is a researcher, each family member is a research subject, and each researcher is contributing to clinical advancement.’ This openness, in combination with a willingness to modify ‘sacred’ tenets of behaviourism while adapting proven techniques from other family therapies, made this title a landmark in its field. As such, it was not only of interest to all clinicians and researchers with a behavioural slant, but also to all family therapists who wished to challenge themselves to develop an integrative approach.

Culturally Informed Therapy for Schizophrenia by Amy Weisman de Mamani,Merranda McLaughlin,Olivia Altamirano,Daisy Lopez Pdf

"This book is primarily designed for clinicians and researchers interested in learning how to conduct an empirically supported, Culturally Informed Therapy for Schizophrenia (CIT-S) that integrates core components of evidenced based family therapy. It is estimated that approximately one percent of adults in the United States will be diagnosed with schizophrenia or a related schizophrenia spectrum disorder (SSD). Without treatment, prognosis is generally poor. Fortunately, traditional family therapies have shown increasing promise in reducing relapse rates and improving mental health for this population. As more and more societies become multicultural, however, there is an increasing expectation that mental health providers will also be prepared to meet the needs of unique and culturally diverse clients in an efficient, skillful, and culturally relevant manner. CIT-S is a 15-week, family-focused, cognitive behavioral approach for managing schizophrenia spectrum disorders. The intervention draws upon clients' cultural beliefs, practices, and traditions to help them conceptualize and manage mental illness. It aims to improve the quality of clients' lives in a manner that is in line with their values and takes into account their cultural norms when discussing important issues and addressing challenges (such as mental illness) within the family. CIT-S contains five distinct modules: 1) Family Collectivism 2) Psychoeducation 3) Spirituality 4) Communication Training and 5) Problem Solving. For each module, a detailed rationale, background information, therapy instructions, suggested homework assignments, and a sample case vignette is provided in an accessible, easy-to-use, manner"--

Family Therapy for Adolescent Eating and Weight Disorders by Katharine L. Loeb,Daniel Le Grange,James Lock Pdf

Family-based treatment (FBT) for eating disorders is an outpatient therapy in which parents are utilized as the primary resource in treatment. The therapist supports the parents to do the work nurses would have done if the patient were hospitalized to an inpatient-refeeding unit, and are eventually tasked with encouraging the patient to resume normal adolescent development. In recent years many new adaptations of the FBT intervention have been developed for addressing the needs of special populations. This informative new volume chronicles these novel applications of FBT in a series of chapters authored by the leading clinicians and investigators who are pioneering each adaptation.
