The book was in perfect condition, with no markings and the cd was attached.

I got the teacher's addition
If you don't mind getting the instructors addition, then it is okay. It says in big letters on the side "Not For Sale" and there is no way you can sell it back at your college. I just wanted to share that with potential buyers. ... Read more

Psychiatric Rehabilitation
In reviewing this book I found it to be interesting and educational at the same time. It is not dry reading for a subject that could well be that. I will be able to use this book in my clinical practice when I graduate this summer.

Superb introduction to psychosocial rehab for new clinicians
Superb introduction to psychosocial rehabilitation.Introduces the experiece of mental illness from the client's perspecitive, covers symptoms and etiology of severe and persistent mental illness as well as treatment strategies.The book is simply written using case illustrations.I have used it for new staff at our community mental health clinic for the past 2 years.The book was popular - so popular that it disappeared and I am replacing it with several copies, one for each team. I would recommend the book as a resource for any student of a mental health program or any staff person trying to get a handle on working effectively with clients who have severe and persistent mental illness. ...

Very useful!
Suited for the average person, this book contains information on profesional help via medications and therapies, non-professional support, and self-help assesment tools.
Great resource - demystify your experience of anxiety
The book contains a wide variety of information, ideas and suggestions about what social anxiety is, what causes it and what keeps it going.By choosing this book, you can be sure that you will be exposed to many angles of understanding social anxiety - from emotions, stress and negative self-talk to medication, food and nutrition.
Solid Techniques
This book is different from most self-help books because it offers solid self-help techniques instead of just explaining the psychology and background behind the disorder.Author Dayhoff isn't just an observer of SA/SP, she's been there too.I would have rated this book a 5 because I actually improved after reading it, but I had to give it a 4 for two reasons: one, the book seems a bit disorganized so it's hard to retain all the information without constantly re-reading; and two, because she uses psychology terminology that you would not understand unless you had at least one course in General Psychology.But don't let that stop you from reading it if you suffer from SA/SP, because it really is helpful. ...

OCD
This was a very informative and helpful book for both therapists and those seeking self-help.

Supportive and realistic
This book is exactly what it says - a complete guide. Very informative, practical help is given, with a strong element of understanding supportiveness at the same time. You can take this book, design a program for recovery, and implement it. Or, if you just want to understand more about the world of an OCD sufferer, you will find plenty of information here. I especially liked the sections covering realistic expectations in recovery, acceptances the sufferer needs to make in living with the disorder, and how to maintain a recovery over the long term. A lifeline to those suffering from OCD or their families, this book is hopeful and realistic at the same time.

An Outstanding Contribution
Obsessive compulsive and related disorders are difficult but not impossible to treat. In this comprehensive and highly readable book, Dr. Penzel covers all of the most important aspects of these conditions. As a nationally recognized expert, the author uses his vast knowledge and experience to assist sufferers, relatives, and clinicians as they confront these challeging problems. I highly recommend this book for the knowledge that it imparts as well as for the author's optimism and compassion, which are evident throughout the book. ... Read more

Brainy and well worth it
This is a scholarly collection of essays from leading theorists in the field of attachment and neurobiology.It provides an exciting, in-depth overview from various perspectives from the inner workings of the brain, to the development of the social mind, to what it all mean for clinicians.There is both theory and practical advice.The last several chapters are particularly relevant to psychotherapists in the field working with individuals with trauma.The down side of the book is that some of the early chapters are somewhat rhedundant and heady, necessarily so in the science presented, but definately overlapping.However, I'd strongly recommend it for all clinicians wanting to stay abreast of the exciting developments in this area. I use it in supervision groups I lead for therapists, for example.
Traumas as Social Interactions
We react to serious mishaps, life altering setbacks, disasters, abuse, and death by going through the phases of grieving. Traumas are the complex outcomes of psychodynamic and biochemical processes. But the particulars of traumas depend heavily on the interaction between the victim and his social milieu.Read more

A comprehensive guide
The desk reference is a good compilation of write ups on all facets of social work theory and practice. It appears to be of equal use to a social work professionalor student. I bought it for my licensure exam. But it has information that will help me beyond the exam.

A wonderful social work treasure
An impressive, professionally prepared practice guide was born in 2002 for social workers. Professors Roberts and Greene include 146 topics that are relevant to social work practice in this desk reference. This exciting guide, that is divided into sixteen parts, not only provides the essential components for social work practice, but also presents the most informative discussions about how to enhance knowledge, skills and values for use in social work education.This book is also an encyclopedia for social work practitioners. It provides a clear picture of how skills are applied in different situations with contents and describes the use of case studies that are devoted to vulnerable populations, as well as to children and families with special needs.It addresses the technological, ethical and cultural issues of skill applications in direct practice and research.It also analyzes past issues, current state of practice principles, and future of social work development.Its comprehensiveness makes this guide book a social work treasure. Desk Reference for Social Workers
This Desk Reference is a positively remarkable compendium and sourcebook for social work practitioners and academics.It is so comprehensive and so well organized that everything you would ever wanted to know about social work ethics and practice is at your fingertips.Each of the 146 chapters is assessable and uniformly well written, all by recognized scholars and practitioners in the field.The book closes with a chapter brimming with ideas for future social work research, providing a wonderful platter of research directions for the next generation. The Editors and their Board deserve our gratitude for exemplary work. I highly recommend this extraordinary book to everyone in the social work profession. ... Read more

MMPI-2 at a glance
While I am not a big fan of the MMPI2, if you must use it and write reports on it, this book will help you out immensely.
The portable MMPI-2 handbook
I have an entire shelf of MMPI/MMPI-2 books.While I can't give up my Roger Greene volume, nor Caldwell, Butcher, and others, this little book wins the prize for practicality.Dr. Nichols has integrated manifestations of psychopathology and real world behaviors that are commonly seen in various MMPI-2 score elevations or depressions at a level that exceeds that of other available handbooks. This is not just a book for the beginning student -- while it will give novices a real jump start, it is a book which advanced practitioners including forensic psychologists will find exceptionally useful. This book is worth every penny and then some.I only wish that Wiley would put this book into e-book format so that I could have it in my computer for ready access wherever I go.

Detailed, Helpful Advice for Beginners & Advanced MMPI-2 Use
David Nichols provides detailed, easy-to-understand guidance for assessing psychopathology and personality using the MMPI-2. As a graduate student in clinical psychology, I found this book extremely helpful in evaluating MMPI-2 profiles. The book we are using in my Assessment of Personality course - Newmarks' Major Psychological Assessment Instruments, was simply too dry and academic. I purchased Essentials to help me understand the powerful MMPI-2.It worked!In class, when called upon to provide my own assessment of MMPI-2 profiles, I was able to quickly make sound judgments.Other students were amazed. In fact, the professor asked: "How did you know that?" When I shared I was using Nichols' book, he exclaimed; "That explains it. That book is excellent."Read more

Best positive psychology book available
I am a student just starting a PhD in the area of personality psychology. This is an outstanding book that significantly moves positive psychology forward. It is becoming critical for students, researchers and practitioners to be aware of this field, and there is no finer textbook avaliable. What makes this book unique is that it is the only one that focuses on how positive psychology can be applied in all areas of life (including health, teaching, and work). This feature also makes it fascinating for the non-professional interested in how psychology relates to their lives, and who wants their reading fully supported by research. Another key strength of this book is that each chapter is written by a world expert, so the end result is a book that includes more state of the art knowledge than would be possible were the entire book written by a single author. ...

One Really Good Book
This is one good book, one really good book!
Practical and easy to read
I got this to help me help my daughter with her finances. The book offered many useful tips on that subject as well as good general advice on paper, thing, and time organizing. Kathleen Nadeau is widely respected in the medical community for her knowledge and down to earth strategies for those with ADD/ADHD. The professional organizer, Judith Kolberg, has broken down everyday problems that everyone faces into easy step by step plans. I highly recommend this book for both those with and without Attention Deficit.

The first effective unified protocol for anxiety disorders
Eifert and Forsyth come up with the first unified treatment for all anxiety disorders that actually works--an accomplishment that deserves a place in the history of psychotherapy.They do a superb job at making their protocol accessible to therapists that are new to acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), including students.In the first chapters of the book, the authors explain with both rigor and clarity what ACT is all about, and contrast it with CBT.In a nutshell, while CBT focuses on symptom management and reduction, ACT focuses on symptom acceptance and doing, in spite of all the inner stuff that may show up, for purposes of living a chosen, valued life.ACT claims convincingly that the road to a good life and mental health is not trying to feel good, but to become able to do what is required (i.e., act) to live a meaningful life, guided by a person's valued directions.ACT is a new, powerful therapy, already with remarkable empirical support, that combines the best of what the psychotherapy world has to offer, that is, acceptance- and mindfulness-based, as well as experiential and existential-humanistic therapies with behavioral interventions, in particular exposure.Maybe exposure work, perhaps the main contribution of the behavioral traidition to psychotherapy, best illustrates the contrats between ACT and CBT: while in CBT exposure is undertaken with the purpose of reducing symptomatology, in ACT it is undertaken with the purpose of increasing behavioral flexibility, i.e., expanding the behavioral repertoire of the person in the presence of anxiety provoking stimuli, and ultimately actualize willingness to move in the direction of the person's values.A truly extraordinary book, and a must read for any therapist who hopes to remain in the cutting edge of his profession.Finally, the editors at New Harbinger Publications deserve praise for the vision and creativity they have put into publishing ACT literature during the last few years.The book by Eifert and Forsyth is a remarkable outcome of such efforts.

An excellent resource
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and other "third-wave" behavioral approaches are changing the way many view psychopathology and processes of psychotherapeutic change.Eifert and Forsyth's ACT for Anxiety Disorders is an engaging and easy-to-comprehend book that should serve as a great introduction for those interested in learning more.With both integrative discussion of the theory behind this work and detailed clinical guidelines, it is an excellent resource for anyone wishing to incorporate mindfulness and acceptance-based approaches into his or her clinical work and/or research.Students consistently praise this book's readability and relevance; especially appreciated are the handouts that may be tailored to the specifics of a given client or target problem.

A valuable book for any clinician's library
In the wake of the growing popularity of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), a number of books have been written that detail the ACT philosophy and approach to therapy.However, none is better than the recently published Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Anxiety Disorders by Georg H. Eifert and John P. Forsyth.Although the book is focused on treating anxiety disorders, the principles and techniques that are discussed are so far reaching that they are pertinent to the treatment of other types of psychopathology. Thus, this book is simply not just a `must read' for those who specialize in treating anxiety disorders but rather it is a book from which any psychotherapist at any level could benefit.What sets this book apart from others that describe the ACT and other like-minded approaches to therapy is that the authors have made the concepts easily digestible and the text effortless to read.At the same time, however, the authors have managed to keep the philosophy and approach undiluted. The techniques and "how-tos" are also presented in caring detail and integrated along with guidelines for case conceptualization.Another asset of the book is that the authors make every attempt to ground their approach in the state of the art psychological science.Not all "how-to" therapy books are as successful as this one in translating science into practice.

Way overpriced for what it offers!!!
This volume is an expansion of the oblique DSM IV-TR and delves into the etiology and treatment of mental illness, in addition to diagnosis. The etiology is of course purely theoretical, and the treatment is set by the marketing strategies that target psychiatrists, and by skewed studies sponsored mostly by the pharmaceutical companies. The DSM IV-TR is a great book to promote diseases that fit the armaments of medications that the pharmaceutical companies would like physicians to use.
