Recovery From Disability
The time is right for recovery from serious mental disorders. Mental health professionals and state and local mental health agencies are responding to a national call for action on recovery: from the President's Commission on Mental Health, the Surgeon General, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. But how can recovery from mental disorders become a reality? Recovery From Disability describes the principles and practices of psychiatric rehabilitation to bridge the gap between what is known and what actually can be used to achieve recovery for patients in real-life mental health programs. The book draws on Dr. Robert Paul L...
The Undoing Of the African American Mind
During the 1960s, the world of psychology experienced a significant shift in paradigms as far as treatment methodologies are concerned. At a time in which dynamic theory was monolithic, and psychoanalysis was the predominant method of treatment, Aaron T. Beck introduced his cognitive theory, which focused on the power of cognitive distortions to influence perceptive reality in patients who were suffering with mental disorders, especially in the area of depression. While the theory of cognitive dissonance preceded Beck's cognitive theory by more than a decade, it was Beck who made the connection between erroneous and ill-advised behavior and distorted cognitions. I propose that negative cogni...

Life-Span Maintenance of Knowledge
This volume describes how well we maintain the knowledge we acquire throughout life. Research traditionally focuses on memory for events that are retained over short time periods that can be accommodated in experiments. This book, by contrast, uniquely describes the evolution of methods suitable for investigating memory of complex knowledge acquired over several years and retained during the entire life-span. The methods substitute statistical for experimental controls, and the investigations involve several hundred participants whose memory is tested up to 50 years after they acquired the knowledge in question. The book covers educational content, such as mathematics and foreign languages; ...
Transcendent
just fell out of my chair. As I put the finishing touches on my 26th book, Transcendent: The Remarkable Ability to Rise Above the Chaos and Win, I am referencing entries from some of my other books. I came across the following entry from my 21st book, "I Am: " The Power of Personal Declarations: "Your thoughts are the seeds - the genesis - of your future realities, circumstances, and conditions. I often tell my clients, "you don't get what you want, you get who you are, and you will always be the sum total of your thoughts." This is an inescapable reality. As James Allen said, "we are the makers of ourselves." When you make your thoughts analogous to the act of sowing for the purpose of harv...
