Description
The Evolution of Cognitive Behavior Therapy: A Personal and Professional Journey with Don Meichenbaum explores the "untold story" of how Cognitive Behavior Therapy emerged and discusses the controversies encountered along the way. This volume will feature a personal account of Don Meichenbaum's contributions from his initial work on self-instructional training with schizophrenics and impulsive children, through his work on stress inoculation training, and his most recent works with traumatized individuals. These previously published papers are complemented with updated papers and accompanying commentary.
Reviews / Votes
"This is a must read for every psychotherapist and others working in health and behavioral healthcare. Don Meichenbaum, a founder of cognitive-behavior therapy, is a critical force in the field of psychotherapy and the clinical science of behavior change. With his unique wisdom and wit, Don Meichenbaum shares his thinking style and the creative and scientific process he brings to the science and practice of cognitive-behavior therapy. In this era of evidence-based treatment, this volume offers a much-needed perspective on how to develop, evaluate, and apply our science to improve lives and reduce suffering. "-Joan Asarnow, PhD, ABPP, professor of psychiatry and biobehavioral sciences, University of California, Los Angeles"Dr. Meichenbaum is one of the giants of CBT. His work on self-directed learners, stress inoculation training and promoting resilience, the development of a constructive narrative perspective for anger, pain management, PTSD and suicidality, and his conceptualization of core tasks for therapists are essential. A veritable research encyclopedia as well as a committed clinician, he is brilliant, innovative, and passionate. Reading these papers is a treat. Highly recommended!"-Michael F.
