Second Edition
by
Paul L. Wachtel, Ph.D.
CE Contact Hours: 24.25
Course Fee: $64.99
Course Format: Book
Course Description:
Therapeutic Communication—Knowing What to Say When, examines how to formulate comments to patients of psychotherapy in ways that facilitate positive therapeutic experience and avoid comments that may unintentionally counter the therapeutic purpose. Paul Wachtel’s focus on the subtle nuances of phrasing and meaning in therapist comments and their effects on patients offers a much overlooked and needed balance in training which has traditionally emphasized therapist listening skills.
Although Dr. Wachtel’s clinical work is guided by what he terms cyclical psychodynamic theory, clinicians of other theoretical persuasions, from novice to expert status, will find the rationale behind his clinical examples and recommendations is pantheoretical. Through keen observation and critical analysis, this well-seasoned clinician and distinguished professor de-mystifies and makes explicit a vital part of what constitutes the “art” of psychotherapy. This is a must-read for any serious student/practitioner of psychotherapy.

Offering a comprehensive and cohesive approach to understanding REBT/CBT and its central constructs of rational and irrational beliefs, contributors review a steadily accumulating empirical literature indicating that irrational beliefs are associated with a wide range of problems in living, and that exposure to rational self-statements can decrease anxiety and other psychological symptoms, and play a valuable role in health promotion and disease prevention. Contributors also identify new frontiers of research and theory, including the link between irrational beliefs and other cognitive processes such as memory, psychophysiological responses, and evolutionary and cultural determinants of rational and irrational beliefs.
A truly accessible, state-of-the-science summary of REBT/CBT research and clinical applications, Rational and Irrational Beliefs is an invaluable resource for psychotherapy practitioners of all theoretical orientations.

Shades of Loneliness
Pathologies of a Technological Society
by
Richard Stivers, Ph.D.
CE Contact Hours: 9.25
Course Fee: $50.00
Course Format: Book
Course Description:
Shades of Loneliness is a must read for any psychotherapist who has asked the question, “Why?” Focus in psychotherapy is generally at the micro level of an individual’s pathology. Even the variety of theoretical orientations that guide our treatment options are primarily focused on development of individual psychopathology and techniques to minimize or eliminate its effects on the individual. In much the same way we help clients gain insight into problematic cycles of behavior through an outsider perspective, Dr. Stivers helps us acquire a macro perspective of society’s, particularly technological society’s, role in the development and maintenance of pathological behaviors. He argues disorders of depression, obsessive-compulsion, schizophrenia, narcissism, and other neuroses are pathological extremes of loneliness exacerbated by the fragmentation and depersonalization of today’s technological civilization. This important wake-up call by Dr. Stivers includes suggestions to combat the debilitating effects of modern society by reconnecting with family, friends, and community through moral and cultural consciousness.

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy provides an introduction to the theory, history, research, and practice of the original cognitive-behavioral therapy created by co-author, Albert Ellis.

by
David B. Stein, Ph.D.
CE Contact Hours: 11.25
Course Fee: $60.00
Course Format: Book
Course Description:
The Psychology Industry Under a Microscope! explores why psychological treatment efficacy rates are so poor, why psychological testing is unreliable, and why diagnosis is uncertain. Dr. Stein also explores the weaknesses inherent in 115 APA accredited doctoral programs and what changes may help improve the effectiveness of the mental health clinician. He proposes a cognitive/behavioral diagnostic system that is far more cohesive and sensible than the piecemeal and confusing system currently in place. In addition, he introduces an easy to understand and innovative visual model that integrates all of clinical psychology and far surpasses any previous attempts at developing models. Dr. Stein also questions the recent resurgence of the disease model for diagnosis as well as the politics and economics that lie behind its current popularity. The thought-provoking ideas presented by Dr. Stein challenge currently accepted notions about the field and practice of professional mental health, yet are difficult to refute. This is a must-read essential for any student, professor, or clinician of mental health.

Successful Parenting Without Drugs
by
David B. Stein, Ph.D.
CE Contact Hours: 9.00
Course Fee: $45.00
Course Format: Book
Course Description:
The number of children being diagnosed with ADD/ADHD has skyrocketed, along with prescriptions for Ritalin and other powerful amphetamine drugs to treat these problem children. This pharmaceutical answer to a behavioral disorder is one of the most controversial subjects in parenting today, and Dr. David Stein offers parents a safe, foolproof alternative. Challenging the disease theories of ADD/ADHD, Stein discusses the conditions in modern society and the American family that cause so many children to hate schoolwork and behave disrespectfully to all authority figures. Rejecting the pill solution, he presents a truly effective parent training program called the Caregivers' Skills Program that helps children learn appropriate behavioral and cognitive skills permanently, without drug therapy. Parents are trained to teach their children to love reading and learning, and to respect authority at home and at school. Stein presents case studies from his own highly successful practice that demonstrate the remarkably effective CSP that can help parents, educators, physicians and therapists treat today's problem children.
