by Maria Torres Win Turner Joseph Hyde R. Lyle CooperA practical approach to clinical interventions applicable to a range of mental health diagnoses Integrated Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT) for Adults is a guide for practitioners looking for evidence-based clinical interventions that are portable across settings and diagnoses. Written in plain English and with an emphasis on step-by-step instructions, this valuable toolkit collects strategies and interventions that have been shown to be effective in substance use disorder, depression, anxiety, and beyond. This widely applicable treatment approach draws on motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational enhancement therapy, mindfulness, functional analysis, and other methods that are strongly supported in the literature. With content reflecting emerging research findings and evolving social contexts, this book is both timely and firmly rooted in science. After presenting a set of proven techniques for motivational interviewing and CBT, this book details a 16-session course designed to fit within conventional models of therapeutic practice.

The book also offers additional tools to promote intervention quality and clinical supervision. Worksheets, handouts, and other materials are included in photocopiable format, making this a valuable guide in all outpatient mental health settings.

Integrated Treatment for Co-Occurring Disorders
by Jack KlottThe definitive guide to identify, assess, and create individualized treatment plans for high-risk clients who suffer from challenging co-occurring disorders"Treat the person and not the diagnosis. Respect that all behaviors are purposeful. Remain mindful that nobody changes behaviors without motivation. These essential guiding principles are the framework of this book. They will be repeated quite often as we examine the challenging population of men and women with co-occurring disorders." -From Integrated Treatment for Co-Occurring DisordersAnnual studies reveal that 70 percent of men and women who died by suicide were diagnosed with a mental illness or personality disorder and used drugs to gain temporary relief from the symptoms.

Integrated Treatment for Co-Occurring Disorders: Personality Disorders and Addiction
by Sharon C. EkleberryIntegrated Treatment for Co-Occurring Disorders addresses a complex client population, which presents service providers with significant professional challenges. Underlying personality disorders compromise treatment effectiveness for medical, other psychiatric, or trauma services, as well as the ability these individuals have in adhering to probation, parole, or court-ordered treatment requirements. A co-occuring substance use disorder amplifies the difficulties experienced by personality-disordered individuals, exacerbates the precarious nature of their relationships, and raises the skill level needed by service providers attempting to help them. There can be significant professional satisfaction in working effectively with the interplay of addiction and disorders of personality. The book brings focus to the specifics of assessment and treatment for this type of co-occurring disorder and suggests that greater adaptability, fewer self-sabotaging behaviors, and an abstinent lifestyle are all possible. Recovery from both disorders is the journey these individuals take toward greater maturation, reliable impulse control, and coping skills that are not dependent upon the evasion of the demands of living or use of substances to manage stress or uncomfortable affect. Recovery is possible, and service providers can assist these clients on their path to wellness.

Integratief opvoeden: Strategieën voor de opvoeding van kinderen met gehechtheidstrauma
by Cathy Schweitzer Debra Wesselmann Stefanie ArmstrongDit boek biedt specifieke opvoedstrategieën voor opvoeders van chronisch getraumatiseerde kinderen. Deze opvoedstrategieën zijn te gebruiken door ouders/pleegouders, familieleden en anderen die een kind verzorgen dat gehechtheidstrauma heeft meegemaakt. Ook kan het boek gebruikt worden door therapeuten om een behandeling te ondersteunen, waarbij EMDR en gezinstherapie wordt geïntegreerd (zoals IGT-K). Kinderen die nare gebeurtenissen hebben meegemaakt binnen hun gehechtheidsrelaties door mishandeling, verwaarlozing, medische ingrepen of uithuisplaatsingen ervaren intense pijn, angst en wantrouwen. Deze diepe gevoelens uiten zich vaak in ‘lastig’ gedrag, agressie en/of extreme geslotenheid, zelfs nadat de thuisomgeving is veranderd door adoptie, pleeggezinplaatsing, een voogdijmaatregel of het oplossen van problemen thuis. Integratief opvoeden geeft informatie over de invloed van gehechtheidstrauma op de hersenontwikkeling. Je krijgt vaardigheden en strategieën aangereikt die het functioneren van je kind kunnen verbeteren. Je zal leren hoe je benodigdheden om de gehechtheid te bevorderen (zoals affectie, emotionele afstemming en spel) kunt inzetten om de kloof tussen jou en je kind te overbruggen. Mindfulness en strategieën om de hersenen van je kind te kalmeren zullen je kind ondersteunen om te reflecteren op zijn eigen gedachten, gevoelens en keuzes. Hierdoor leert hij om op een effectievere manier beslissingen te gaan maken. Het oorspronkelijke boek Integrative Parenting werd geschreven door ervaren therapeuten uit de Verenigde Staten: Debra Wesselmann, Cathy Schweitzer en Stefanie Armstrong.

Integrating Brain, Mind, Soul, and Spirit: Exploring Transpersonal Psychology, Psychedelics, and Altered States of Consciousness
by Eric John ParkinsReferring to major spiritual traditions, transpersonal psychology, neuropsychology, neuroscience, and modern physics, this book identifies and systematically integrates core ideas concerning psychospiritual development.Integrating Brain, Mind, Soul, and Spirit presents neuropsychological research on psychedelics, with reference to mystical experience, and Psi/extrasensory perception as an extension of cognitively controlled brain-based homeostasis. The book equates concepts from modern physics with perennial metaphysics concerning intelligent consciousness, evolution, and the transfer of energy and information. It also compares spiritual literature regarding consciousness, spirit-soul, and brain-mind personality, to neuropsychological and psychological literature concerning emotion, cognition, and altered states of consciousness. Finally, a nested neuro-psycho-spiritual control hierarchy is presented as an architecture for systematically integrating; describing; and understanding brain, mind, soul, and spirit, and neuro-psycho-spiritual development.Providing a modern multidisciplinary perspective, and highlighting implications for psychiatry, psychotherapy, and education, this book is a must-read for students and researchers of transpersonal psychology, psychospiritual matters, and altered states of consciousness.

Integrating Career Development and Mental Health in Counseling
by Seth C. HaydenThe connection between career development and mental health has long been established within research as mutually impactful. Given this reality, there are significant implications for counselors working in various settings. Important societal movements focused on increasing access and equity for those with intersectional identities of ethnicity, race, gender, sexual identity, and ableism are rooted in the transformational power of career and work. This speaks to the centrality of career development in the human experience. The recent events of the pandemic have magnified awareness of the impact of struggles with career and work on overall well-being. Given these considerations, counselors are tasked with providing comprehensive and holistic support that addresses co-occurring career and mental health concerns. Integrating Career Development and Mental Health Counseling focuses on counseling-centered approaches that integrate dimensions of career and mental health. Whether providing counseling in a community agency, K-12 school, private practice, college/university, or other institution, having the capability to address career concerns is essential to comprehensive counseling support. Relevant dimensions of career theory, research, and practice are included. Theoretically and empirically supported interventions that address co-occurring career and mental health concerns are also provided.

Integrating Counselling & Psychotherapy: Directionality, Synergy and Social Change
by Professor Mick CooperHow can therapists integrate theories and practices from across the psychological therapies? This book presents a framework for understanding distress and change that can unite different orientations, along with sociopolitical perspectives. Its starting point is that therapy aims to help clients move towards the things they most deeply want. It shows how the actualisation of these ‘directions’ leads to greater well-being, and how this can be brought about through the development of internal and external synergies. Using in-depth cases, the book provides detailed guidance on how this framework can be applied. After reading this book, you’ll feel better equipped to understand, and work with, your clients’ directions—tailoring the therapy to their unique wants.
