Ethnicity and Family Therapy (Guilford Family Therapy Series, The)21 reviews
Monica McGoldrick
The Guilford Press, 1982
wonderful!
Although I initially bought this book for one of my school classes, I find myself frequently referencing it if I need a refresher. This book provides great overviews of many different cultures. As with any book attempting to discuss groups of individuals, one must read this book with an understanding that everything within it will not apply to everybody from that specific group. This book does a ...

The Bipolar Teen: What You Can Do to Help Your Child and Your Family9 reviews
PhD David J. Miklowitz PhD, PhD Elizabeth L. George Phd
The Guilford Press, 2007
Excellent info for parents
As a family therapist who treats teens with bipolar as well as other disorders, I think The Bipolar Teen does an excellent job of explaining behavior that has probably been very confusing and distressing to parents. Dr's Miklowitz and George take the reader step by step through the experience of the teen, possible causal factors for manic and depressive episodes, ways to minimize or avoid them ...

Excellent Guide for Parents trying to get organized and deal with ADHD issues

Psychoanalytic Diagnosis: Understanding Personality Structure in the Clinical Process16 reviews
Nancy McWilliams
The Guilford Press, 1994
A New Level of Understanding
Briefly, this book has given me a new level of understanding of my clients -- sadly one I never got in my cognitive-behavioral oriented graduate school. There is a richness and depth that, in my experience, is astonishing to find in one author. E.g., I had little clue to what goes on in the mind and heart of someone with a diagnosis antisocial/psychopathic personality, or how one could reach ...

Friedman's Fables9 reviews
Edwin H. Friedman
The Guilford Press, 1990
Review by Rabbi G. Lilienthal, Ph.D.
Friedman's Fables are a resonant statement by a very quiet man. Ed Friedman was that quiet man. He constructed a modern use for the ancient form of allegory, first used in King Solomon's written works, to drive home difficult-to-accept truths and ethical principles, in a group setting. His "fables" are the outcome of his many years of psychoanalytic work in very large congregational groups, and ...

Internal Family Systems Therapy9 reviews
Richard C. Schwartz
The Guilford Press, 1994
PsyD Student
I first heard of Internal Family Systems theory from another book and found that I connected with this type of therapy immediately. I then ordered this book and found that it was easy to understand and yet had a profound theoretical basis that I could apply not only to my clients but to my own life as well. This book gave a clear and convincing view of IFS. I strongly recommend it for students, ...

PhD John C. Norcross Phd, Michael A. Sayette PhD, ...
The Guilford Press, 2008
Useful guide through the minefield of academia
In academia, way more so than in other fields, the program where one got their career _started_ carries disproportionate weight going forward. Compare this to any other field! Not only is prestige a necessary factor, but with psych being your niche in academia, other factors come into play. It's important to weigh going into the clinical and counseling side versus the research side of things. Not ...

The Guilford Press, 1990
Fantastic
This is a great book. For example, the chapters on obsessive compulsive and passive agressive personality give some great direction for therapy. Knowing that an obsessive person fears making mistakes, that narcissism is part of obsessionality and that a passive agressive person fears loss of autonomy can really guide treatment well.
On the other hand, the treatment of narcissistic ...

Handbook of Emotion Regulation8 reviews

An essential volume
The field of emotion regulation is a difficult one to adequately cover, because it impinges on so many aspects of life, and is such a critical but little understood part of what it means to be human. Until now, there has been no really good, single source for those wanting to educate themselves on what is known about when and how we control our emotions and when and how they control us. Although ...

Excellent Learning Tool
I'm still working my way through the book; but what I like is that its an easy read and you can incorporate it in to practice as you are going along. Its an excellent way to learn specific ways to use Cognitive Therapy with both children and adolescents. They do a good job of disinguishing between the two, which is important when you work with the two age groups. If you like specific techniques, ...
