| By: GRAVETTER/WALLNAU ISBN: 0534602479 Publisher: Wadsworth Publishing Release Date: 11 August, 2003 Bioscience book rank: 382422 | I'm the sort of student who likes things to be to the point. I don't like reading extraneous information- just give me what I need to know. This book is PERFECT if you are like me. The only time I've even opened the regular text book was when I needed to use some of the tables in the back! The guide is well written and contains quizzes at the end of each chapter so you can check your learning. If you get an answer wrong, there is an explanation as to why the correct answer is correct. I highly recommend buying this guide! | |

| By: Douglas C. Breunlin, Richard C. Schwartz, Betty Mac Kune-Karrer ISBN: 0787910708 Publisher: Jossey-Bass Release Date: 03 October, 1997 Bioscience book rank: 682259 | This book is not only information rich, it is also about a way of doing therapy with anyone and everyone, including groups of people, in a way whose time has finally come. Metaframeworks is based on the Eastern concept of a Self that is not only more expansive and compassionate, but able to look at the warring factions within a person, relationship or family and make peace. It relies upon the therapist to do co-therapy with the client(s). It is a lovely, pertinent way to do talk therapy because it assumes that any abberant way of thinking or acting is a defense that can be examined and healed by the individual doing it. It is a juicy book that talks about egalitarianism and equality across the board. Don't take my word for it, get your own copy! ...and makes it easy to understand. Geared toward work with systems (i.e., families), but I have found it to be just as useful in working with individuals. A must-have for the professional therapist. I'm surprised that this book has 0 customer reviews, so here's a review:<p> I see the aim of this book as to provide a structure for a therapist to combine various models of therapy into a workable therapy, rather than to either use a single model or to combine models in haphazard ways. That being the goal, it does a good job at achieving this by providing 6 core metaframeworks such as "Sequences", "Developmental", and the individual's own internal thought system, "Internal Family Systems". <br> This book works with factors from the individual to the society level, which is good because people are both individuals, family, and societal (a part of and influenced by society). Systems thinking is well-integrated into the book, as well as defined.<br> This metaframeworks book integrates four building blocks to help a therapist integrate models specific to their clients. The four building blocks are:<br>The systemic view, a set of presuppositions, the metaframeworks themselves, and the blueprint for therapy.<p>This book lacks much detail in how to do specific therapies, but that makes sense because it isn't a book of frameworks, but *metaframeworks*. It can integrate, to some degree, any model a person wishes to apply to it. If you're looking for a way to effectively combine family therapy models, look no further (are there even any books like this to look further at, anyway?). If you're looking for a new model to try, you might not find what you're looking for here, though the Internal Family Systems (IFS) section does go over some basics of the IFS model.<br>I found out a couple years ago that the three-year therapy masters program at Central Connecticut State University uses this book as the core of their program, having their students use the concepts of this book to combine various models in order to do therapy with a diverse range of clients with various reasons for coming to therapy. | |
| By: Sandra K. Webster ISBN: 1592602746 Publisher: Atomic Dog Release Date: 05 November, 2006 Bioscience book rank: 726793 | As a college professor, I've read a few textbooks in my day; some are good, others are adequate, and still others can be indecipherable and, dare I say, down right frightening. Dr. Webster has somehow accomplished the impossible: She has taken an otherwise unpopular subject and somehow made it enticing. It is pure wizardry for someone with such a diverse and extensive background to write at such an understandable level. If you've ever studied design or stats only to come away with a developed phobia for the subject, fear not. This book is so digestible that you will want to outlaw those who continue to write this subject matter in Mandarin Chinese, only to shamefully claim it is English. | |

| By: John M. Violanti ISBN: 0398066663 Publisher: C.C. Thomas Release Date: September, 1996 Bioscience book rank: 778761 | John Violanti has, with "Epidemic in Blue," written a definitive, precise book on police suicide. I highly recommend this as must-reading for anyone involved in police administration or in police suicide prevention training programs. It's refreshing to read a researcher who approaches the confusing subject of police suicide without first forming a conclusion and then researching the evidence. <br /> <br />Directly and analytically, Violanti walks us through the muddle that police departments themselves have created by their reluctance or refusal to acknowledge the problem and/or share data with researchers. Without realizing they are doing their officers a gross disservice, agencies continue to deliberately misclassify even the most obvious cases of suicide as "undetermined" or "accidental." This travesty, borne out of the antiquated view that police suicides caused by the trauma of the job are "disgraceful," robs us of the very information we need to effectively treat the problem. <br /> <br />With great candor, Violanti also addresses the tragedy of retiree suicides, which increase tenfold, and explores the lingering trauma as well as the deep sense of loss and separation felt by the now-civilian officer. He takes on the issue of domestic abuse, so often ignored in police families, and explores the increasing phenomenon of murder-suicides taking place in the police culture. <br /> <br />Additionally, the author explores, with both chilling and heart-warming examples, how departments treat the survivors of police suicides. Too often, police departments continue to stigmatized the widows, refusing to assist at all in funerals, and denying officers permission to attend in uniform. Forgotten is that this was an officer who died from the pain and trauma of the job and is as deserving of a hero's farewell as any other fallen comrade. Violanti offers an excellent set of departmental guidelines for supporting survivors, dealing with the media, and addressing the grief of the squad. <br /> <br />Finally, it was encouraging to see the author supporting the concept of improved cadet training to prepare cadets for what awaits them by providing them an insight to reality and, most importantly, giving them the tools to face trauma before it happens. This is crucial. As Violanti points out, "From the very first day in the police academy, recruit officers are told that they are someone unique, far different from the average citizen and certainly beyond psychological harm." This has been compared to the concept of "unique invulnerability" found in adolescents, and to refuse to adequately balance this with some realism beyond fluffy dog-and-pony shows is to continue the Prussian tradition of sending out young officers totally unprepared for the trauma to come--and without the resources to manage them. <br /> <br />There is much more in these 174 pages. It should be on every administrator's shelf, carefully read and dog-eared. <br /> <br />Andy O'Hara. Badge of Life suicide prevention program <br /> | |
