My Therapy
My Therapy is Marian Davies’ unflinching account of her years spent undergoing psychodynamic therapy. Working with her therapist, she recalls key incidents from her life history and gradually comes to attain greater insight into her present-day problems, as her therapist helps her to understand the links between those issues and her childhood experiences. Powerful and gripping, Marian Davies charts her progress and recalls with searing immediacy those childhood traumas that had such great consequences on her adult behaviours and relationships. This book is not only of interest to students of psychological or counselling therapies; any reader may identify with Marian Davies as she makes her journey towards understanding and acceptance of her childhood abuse and neglect.

Description:
The present study tested whether pre-treatment levels of partner hostility and non-hostile criticism predicted outcome in an individual cognitive-behavioral therapy package for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Eighteen patients with a principal or co-principal diagnosis of GAD were randomly allocated to a treatment condition (n=8) or a delayed treatment condition (n=10). In addition, the patients and their partners were videotaped discussing the patients’ worries. These videotapes were later coded for levels of partner hostility and non-hostile criticism directed at the patients. Treatment resulted in statistically and clinically significant change at post-test. Finally, partner hostility predicted worse end-state functioning whereas partner non-hostile criticism predicted better end-state functioning.

Understanding and Helping Families: A Cognitive-behavioral Approach

Understanding and Helping Families: A Cognitive-behavioral Approach
This book presents a new approach to understanding the family unit and how and why it functions as it does. The approach focuses on the cognitions of family members and how these, in turn, shape individuals’ behavior and the functioning of the family system.

The use of the cognitive-behavioral perspective in family science has gained a quick and broad acceptance among social scientists and practitioners during the past decade. One reason for its success is that the basics of the approach are easy to learn and apply. Specifically, the approach maintains that a person who believes that he or she is a failure will — because of this cognition — act in certain self-defeating ways and have various self-deprecating feelings.

The wide acceptance of the cognitive-behavioral approach rests on more than its simplicity: the approach has repeatedly proven itself in the laboratory and in the clinic. The knowledge readers of this volume will gain about the cognitive-behavioral approach provides them with tools that they can use to better understand not only the family interactions, but the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of individuals — including themselves — in the family setting.
