Noting society's growing familiarity with technology, current concerns about treatment accessibility, and widespread interest in wellness promotion, he argues for remote-writing exercises targeted to specific client issues and monitored by the clinician instead of relying on traditional talk-based therapy. This attention to concreteness and specificity in baseline evaluation, post-treatment evaluation, and follow-up, the author asserts, is central to making treatment replicable, less subject to impasses or missteps, and more professional, with the potential of changing how therapy is conducted as well as how clinicians are trained and practice. The book's framework includes rationales, models, empirical data, and examples of prescriptive remote-writing exercises. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatured in the coverage: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnline interventions: here to stay and to grow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVerifiability in clinical psychology practices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresent status and future perspectives for personality and family assessment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractice without theory\/combining theory with practice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToward a unifying framework of human relationships\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePIPES: Programmed Interactive Practice Exercise and Prescriptions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eConcreteness and Specificity in Clinical Psychology\u003c\/i\u003e will bring a new level of discussion and debate among clinical psychology practitioners and practicing psychotherapists in private practice and the public sector.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2015-04-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319132839\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-13284-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 352\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47410977898636,"sku":"9783319132839","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319132839.jpg?v=1775841226","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319132839","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
