Summary   Following the demise of the so-called grand theories offered by luminaries like Sigmund Freud, B. F. Skinner, and Carl Rogers, the field of psychology largely gave up its early aspirations to paint a broad picture of the human condition, and now the discipline focuses primarily on empirical problems that have a relatively narrow scope. The consequence has been a proliferation of interesting findings with no real capacity to answer big questions or to generate a shared general understanding of the human condition. This book seeks to change the status quo and offers up a new unified theory of psychology that redefines the science and the profession and paints a new picture of human nature in the process.  _____________________________________________________________________________   Praise for A New Unified Theory of Psychology   The field of psychology is known for its paradoxical combination of sweeping scope and impressive micro-theories, on the one hand, and fragmentation and internecine squabbling, on the other. To this state of affairs, any serious effort to provide integration and unity within psychological knowledge and understanding is heartily welcomed. And Henriques' effort in this regard is not only serious, but one of the most cogent, scholarly, sophisticated, beautifully reasoned, clearly articulated, and accessibly written presentations of a unified theory in psychology that I have seen in my 50 years in the discipline.   Daniel B. Fishman, Author of The Case for Pragmatic Psychology, Professor, Rutgers University   As the field of psychology has grown, so have the challenges of fragmentation and of misunderstandings. This brave book represents a noble quest to provide a broad, values-based, and scientific framework which holds the power to organize our work and move us forward in strong, new ways.  Lawrence G. Calhoun, Author of Facilitating Post-Traumatic Growth,  Professor, University of North Carolina-Charlotte    In this very ambitious book, Henriques makes a strong case for why bold efforts are needed in the fragmented realm of psychological research and theory. Although different readers will likely make different judgments about how well Henriques has succeeded in his aims, it nevertheless is an act of intellectual daring that can perhaps inspire psychologists to look outside the narrow confines of a single laboratory paradigm and open their thinking to how to address the full range of human behavior and experience.  Paul L. Wachtel, Author of Therapeutic Communication,  Distinguished Professor, CUNY    Concise, erudite, and practical, this book is a manifesto that challenges psychology to move past fragmented domains of knowledge to a consilient framework, which will allow multi-disciplinary discourse and scientific advances. I suggest all scientists, psychotherapists, and scholars spend some time familiarizing themselves with the concepts and suggestions presented in this seminal volume by a leading scholar.  Jeffrey Magnavita, Author of Personality Guided Relational Psychotherapy, Founder of the Unified Psychotherapy Project

Negli ultimi anni l'approccio alla mente umana non fa più riferimento al tradizionale dualismo mente-corpo, bensì pone al centro dell'interesse la persona nella sua totalità. Quando si analizza qualsiasi disturbo mentale è quindi importante considerare l'intera storia dell'individuo e integrarne i fattori organici con quelli psicologici, relazionali, lavorativi e sociali. Da un punto di vista clinico questo significa valutare attentamente il paziente in termini di diagnosi differenziale e di pianificazione del trattamento, sia psicologico che farmacologico. Prendendo in considerazione i principali disturbi dello spettro ansioso-depressivo (ansia, fobie, ossessioni, somatizzazioni, depressione), il volume traccia i confini che distinguono la psicopatologia dal disagio psicologico nella normalità quotidiana e affronta il problema di come gestire gli eventi della vita in momenti di particolare stress, presentando gli strumenti terapeutici oggi disponibili e una ricca casistica clinica.

As a primary or an adjunct mental health therapy, written practice exercises have proven an effective, low-cost way for clients to transfer gains made in therapy to the challenges of daily life and relationships. These interactive workbooks expand on earlier self-help and distance writing methods along a continuum of healing approaches, from the proactive and preventive to the therapeutic and rehabilitative. But despite their appeal, large-scale access to high-quality materials hasn't always been readily available until now. The Sourcebook of Interactive Practice Exercises in Mental Health gives professionals a library of replicable, evidence-based, clinically robust protocols and workbooks for a broad range of clinical and non-clinical conditions, suitable for individuals, couples, and families. Luciano L'Abate places practice exercises in the context of current mental health and technological advances, offering guidelines for administration, helpful case studies, and caveats for those new to this type of intervention, and features a wealth of complete protocols in these major areas: Psychological disorders from the DSM-IV, including depression, anxiety, phobias, and PTSD. Couple and family concerns, from intimacy to domestic violence to children's adjustment to divorce. Lifelong learning: assertiveness, emotional competence, social skills, and more. Family support skills: preparation for marriage, parenthood, and adoption. Plus exercises derived from widely-used psychological tests (e.g., the Beck Depression Inventory, the MMPI), behavior lists, and others. Clinical psychologists, mental health professionals, and psychotherapists will find the Sourcebook of Interactive Practice Exercises in Mental Health a therapeutic treasure chest filled with new approaches to intractable issues or unreachable clients, new means of viewing typical problems, even new ways for talk therapy to work with words.
