Book News

Research and practicing psychologists gathered in Reno, Nevada in the summer of 2003 to explore changes in the cognitive-behavioral therapy tradition over the past decade. In 13 papers, they characterize their own approaches clinically, and consider how the focus of their approaches relates to the broader set of issues embraced by the new behavior therapies. They also articulate their theoretical models and compare them with others both inside and outside behavioral therapy. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Choice Reviews

According to Hayes (Univ. of Nevada), Follette (Univ. of Nevada), and Linehan (Univ. of Washington), empirical clinical psychology is broadening its intellectual horizons so much that classifying the variety of new cognitive-behavioral approaches is daunting. What are these innovative approaches? Bracing doses of spirituality, philosophy (especially Eastern), and dialectics, for example, and also explorations of the beneficial acceptance of personal qualities (without judgment or hope for change), mindfulness (awareness of inner and outer events in the moment), etc. Given the novel, nontraditional cognitive-behavioral therapies treated here, the reader should not be surprised that the perspectives of contributors are diverse; though this may dismay some, it certainly makes for interesting, eclectic reading. The focus throughout is on scientific and therapeutic advances in treating psychological problems, including depression, trauma, marital conflict, anxiety, bulimia, and substance abuse. Caveat emptor: familiarity with psychotherapy and current clinical approaches is recommended, which rules the book out for the average undergraduate. Summing Up: Optional.
