James P. McCullough, Jr. – författare

Describes what disciplined personal involvement is and how it is administered.

The Cognitive Behavioural Analysis System of Psychotherapy (CBASP) is the only psychotherapy model developed specifically for chronic depression. In the latest addition to the successful Distinctive Features series, the developer of CBASP, James P. McCullough Jr., along with Elisabeth Schramm and J. Kim Penberthy, provides an accessible introduction to this approach, showing how it differs from other cognitive behavioural approaches, and highlighting those features – both theoretical and practical – that make it unique.The unparalleled problems of the chronically depressed patient are some of the most difficult that practitioners face. The disorder has usually continued for a decade or more and patients enter psychotherapy interpersonally withdrawn, detached and with little or no motivation to change. CBASP as A Distinctive Treatment for Persistent Depressive Disorder provides a new look into the phenomenological world of the patient and shows the reader why the world-view of the patient is a valid perception of reality. CBASP is designed to address the problems of the patient in a step-by-step manner. This book explores the therapist role and shows how the CBASP model enables therapists to address the patient’s depression in a zone of interpersonal safety. Patients are taught how to behave in an interpersonally facilitative manner and shown how everything they do has consequences for others (including the therapist) and on the social environment in which they live. CBASP as A Distinctive Treatment for Persistent Depressive Disorder will be essential reading for novice and experienced CBT therapists, counselors and psychotherapists treating chronic depression.

For more than a century, the psychotherapist role has been dominated by Freud’s neutrality rule: don’t become personally involved with patients! McCullough challenges this widely accepted dictum in a new treatment approach for the chronically depressed patient. He proposes disciplined personal involvement as an alternative to therapist neutrality with chronically depressed patients, describing how this approach can be used in a contingent manner to successfully modify pathological behavior. These latest guidelines expand on his pioneering work, Treatment for Chronic Depression: Cognitive Behavioral Analysis System of Psychotherapy(CBASP).In this new volume, Treating Chronic Depression with Disciplined Personal Involvement: CBASP, Dr. McCullough describes in detail what disciplined personal involvement is and how it is administered. The book was written during a current four-year national clinical trial sponsored by NIMH involving 910 chronically depressed outpatients being treated at eight sites in the U.S.The following topics will be covered:- Historical review of the psychotherapist neutrality role- Rationale for disciplined personal involvement in the treatment of chronic depression- Training veteran psychotherapists to administer disciplined personal involvement- Numerous verbatim case examples presented to illustrate therapist disciplined personal involvement - Appendix Section operationalizing the CBASP disciplined personal involvement techniques and discussing needed CBASP researchMcCullough’s fresh perspective and psychotherapy wisdom make this text a must read for all clinical practitioners, training clinicians in university settings, and psychotherapy researchers. Treating Chronic Depression with Disciplined Personal Involvement: CBASP offers a radically new alternative to the traditional therapeutic relationship.

CBASP (Cognitive Behavioral Analysis System of Psychotherapy) hebt das Neutralitätsprinzip des Therapeuten auf Seit mehr als einem Jahrhundert wird die Rolle des Psychotherapeuten dominiert durch Freuds Neutralitätsregel: Ein Therapeut darf die Beziehung zu seinen Patienten nicht persönlich gestalten. James P. McCullough, Jr.,  hinterfragt dieses weit verbreitete Diktum mit seinem neuen Behandlungsansatz für chronische depressive Patienten: Er empfiehlt eine diszipliniert persönliche Gestaltung der therapeutischen Beziehung statt therapeutischer Neutralität. Die therapeutische Beziehung kann auf diese Weise konkret eingesetzt werden, um pathologische Verhaltensmuster chronisch depressiver Patienten zu verändern.Die neue methodische Gestaltung der persönlichen Therapiebeziehung mit chronisch depressiven PatientenIn diesem Buch beschreibt James P. McCullough, Jr., detailliert und anhand zahlreicher einprägsamer Fallbeispiele, wie er eine diszipliniert persönliche Gestaltung der therapeutischen Beziehung definiert und wie sie angewendet wird. Seine psychotherapeutische Erfahrung gepaart mit seinem frischen Blick auf die therapeutische Beziehung machen das Buch zu einer spannenden Lektüre für alle praktizierenden Psychotherapeuten und Psychotherapieforscher.Übersetzt und bearbeitet von den Fachleuten der Methode im deutschsprachigen Raum
