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
withwords.
