Paperback. Condición: Fair. A core text/reference for Internships, Practicums, and Field Placements in Psychology, Social Work, Counseling, and related helping disciplines. Acknowledging, anticipating, and addressing the everyday questions and concerns of interns, this text is designed to bridge the gap between academic coursework and the knowledge, skills, and emotional challenges that are found beyond the classroom. Throughout his years of teaching and professional experience, Brian N. Baird has found that both professionals and students in the helping professions consider internships, practicums, and field placements among the most influential experiences of their careers. With this in mind, however, too often students also report that their normal coursework typically provides only indirect, and in many cases insufficient, preparation for their first ?real world? exposure. To help remedy this problem and further expose students to process of internship, this text is designed to acknowledge, anticipate, and address the everyday questions and concerns of interns, bridging the gap between academic coursework and the knowledge, skills, and emotional challenges that are found beyond the classroom.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. Based on the Hospice Foundation of America's second annual teleconference, this book explores three basic themes in children's grief.

Paperback. Condición: Good. Anger is a daily experience. It is encountered in a number of interpersonal, family and occupational situations. Research indicates that even normal parents worry that they will lose control of their anger and harm their children. When short-lived and of low intensity, anger may be of some help to us; in contrast, when it is persistent and intense, it is typically highly disruptive.; This text reviews facts and theories of anger. Anger is differentiated from annoyance, fury, rage, hostility and the behaviours of aggression and violence, and attention is paid to understanding anger both as a normal experience and as a clinical disorder. Specific anger diagnoses are presented to describe disruptive anger states and traits. Anger in criminal populations is also discussed and behaviour-analytic, cognitive-constructivist and cross-cultural perspectives are presented in detail.; The book argues that it is important to understand the causes, correlations and outcomes of anger and to develop effective remediation programmes when anger is excessive and disruptive.

Finally, a model is presented to help understand anger development and resolution. …

Paperback. Condición: Fair. For undergraduate courses in Behavior Modification or Behavior Therapy This book presents a comprehensive, practical presentation of both the principles of behavior modification and guidelines for their application.  Throughout their separate experiences in teaching behavior modification over the past 39 years, both Garry Martin and Joseph Pear?s goals have remained the same: to teach people about the principles of behavior modification and how to apply them effectively to their everyday concerns ? from helping children learn life?s necessary skills to solving some of their own personal behavior problems. Through eight editions their text has remained successful and effective because it addresses the needs of two central audiences: college and university students taking courses in behavior modification and its related areas; and students or practitioners of various helping professions (such as clinical psychology, counseling, medicine, etc.) who are concerned directly with enhancing various forms of behavioral development. Assuming no prior knowledge of behavior modification or psychology, this text facilitates understanding of the principles of behavior modification and helps readers to successfully implement behavior modification programs.…
