Advanced abnormal psychology
Vincent B. Van Hasselt and M. Hersen
Although senior undergraduate psychology students and first year master's- and doctoral-level students frequently take courses in advanced abnormal psychology, it has been almost two decades since a book by this title has appeared. Professors teaching this course have had a wide variety of texts to select from that touch on various aspects of psychopathology, but none has been as comprehensive for the student as the present volume. Not only are basic concepts and models included, but there are specific sections dealing with childhood and adolescent disorders, adult and geriatric disorders, child treatment, and adult treatment. We believe the professor and advanced student alike will benefit from having all the requisite material under one cover. Our book contains 26 chapters presented in five parts, each part preceded by an editors' introduction. The chapters reflect updates in the classification of disorders (i. e. , DSM-IV). In Part I (Basic Concepts and Models), the chapters include diagnosis and classification, assessment strategies, research methods, the psychoanalytic model, the behavioral model, and the biological model. Parts II (Childhood and Adolescent Disorders) and III (Adult and Older Adult Disorders), bulk of the book. To ensure cross each containing seven chapters, represent the chapter consistency, each of these chapters on psychopathology follows an identical format, with the following basic sections: description of the disorder, epidemiology, clinical picture (with case description), course and prognosis, familial and genetic patterns, and diagnostic considerations.

Abused women and survivor therapy: A practical guide for the psychotherapist
Lenore E. Walker
In this state-of-the-art treatment manual, Lenore E.A. Walker contends that traditional psychotherapies for trauma victims have been insufficient in treating abused women. As the problem of violence against women continues to plague society, cutting across all demographic sectors, Walker describes critical modifications to traditional practice that will allow practitioners to work more effectively with female victims of abuse. These modifications result in an integrated compilation of the most successful assessment and intervention strategies, called "survivor therapy". "Abused Women and Survivor Therapy" discusses the major forms of abuse experienced by women: rape and sexual assault, battering, sexual abuse by therapists, and discrimination/sexual harassment in the workplace. Walker examines the effects of gender, race, ethnicity, culture and sexual orientation on each form of abuse; discusses clinical considerations and treatment approaches; evaluates commonly used assessment instruments; and analyzes forensic issues in cases involving violence against women. Walker maintains that successful treatment models must account for the specific imapct of the various forms of abuse, the individual's unique psychological response to the world, the impact of traditional socialization of women and men and therapist transference and counter-transference. These considerations can be applied in the course of a therapy that seeks to re-empower abused women by helping them to regain their self-esteem, re-establish healthy relationships, and reclaim a sense of control and choice in their lives.

Problem drinkers: Guided self-change treatment
Mark B. Sobell and Linda Carter Sobell
While chronic alcoholics receive the greatest amount of attention--both clinically and in the public eye\m-\problem drinkers actually constitute the majority of people who have trouble dealing with alcohol. Problem drinkers have identifiable life difficulties due to their drinking but are not severely dependent on alcohol: They do not drink every day; they often can maintain control of their drinking when they do; and they do not suffer withdrawal symptoms. Considerable evidence now exists showing that treatment programs designed for alcoholics are completely inappropriate for dealing with problem drinkers. Addressing the needs of this specific population, this book presents an empirically based program of state-of-the-art motivational interventions.

Handbook of behavior therapy and pharmacotherapy for children: A comparative analysis
Vincent B. Van Hasselt and Michel Hersen
Never before have the two most empirical approaches to treating children - the behavioral and pharmacological methods - been paired together and handled in tandem. With this authoritative new book it's now possible to determine the extent of progress made to date, the needs for the future, and the specific points at which the two strategies intersect and are complementary to one another. The book is set up to ensure maximum progress in understanding, diagnosing, assessing, and treating eight of today's most common childhood disorders: anxiety, depression, mental retardation, autism, psychophysiological disorders, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, substance abuse, and anorexia and bulimia.
