For almost three millennia, philosophy and its more pragmatic offspring, psychology and the cognitive sciences, have struggled to understand the complex principles reflected in the patterned opera tions of the human mind. What is knowledge? How does it relate to what we feel and do? What are the fundamental processes underlying attention, perception, intention, learning, memory, and conscious ness? How are thought, feeling, and action related, and what are the practical implications of our current knowledge for the everyday priorities of parenting, education, and counseling? Such meaningful and fascinating questions lie at the heart of contemporary attempts to build a stronger working alliance among the fields of epistemology (theories of knowledge), the cognitive sciences, and psychotherapy. The proliferation and pervasiveness of what some have called "cognitivism" throughout all quarters of modern psychology repre sent a phenomenon of paradigmatic proportions. The (re-)emergence of cognitive concepts and perspectives-whether portrayed as revo lutionary (reactive) or evolutionary (developmental) in nature-marks what may well be the single most formative theme in late twentieth century psychology. Skeptics of the cognitive movement, if it may be so called, can readily note the necessary limits and liabilities of naive forms of metaphysics and mentalism. The history of human ideas is writ large in the polarities of "in here" and "out there"-from Plato, Pythagoras, and Kant to Locke, Bacon, and Watson.

“This book … is the next major step forward in the bibliotherapy of obesity … It contains the first exposition in the popular press of the cognitive approaches to weight reduction … Permanent Weight Control is the best book yet available for the obese person who wishes to try to lose weight without professional help. It will be of even great value to professionals in the field.” ―Albert Stunkard, University of Pennsylvania, in Behavior Therapy This is not simply a “do” or “don’t” book, but rather a book directed at helping you to learn about yourself. It is based on principles derived from the careful work of scores of researchers who have studied the behavior and attitudes of overweight individuals. The major thrust of the book is to help you explore your patterns of behavior and thought, to experiment with change, to test consequences, and to incorporate new behaviors and thoughts into your everyday life. “Perhaps the best common sense, effective solution to the problem of weight control that has yet been published … Well written and documented by an impressive list of references.” ―Best Sellers

Cognition and behavior modification

Ballinger Pub. Co.

In this book, originally published by Ballinger in 1976, Michael Mahoney documents the idiosyncracies and foibles of the scientific process as a field of endeavor. A new introduction updates his discussion in light of subsequent developments, including such aspects of academia as politics and tenure, publication and power relations, science studies and constructivist inquiry, and what have come to be called the "science wars."

Scientist as Subject: The Psychiological Imperative (Foundations of Psychology)

Percheron Press/Eliot Werner Publications

An invaluable teaching text and clinical resource, this is a book about how to do psychotherapy--how to apply the science of change to the complexities of helping people develop new meanings in their lives. Explaining constructivist principles and illuminating what a skilled clinician actually does in day-to-day practice, Michael J. Mahoney shows how to nurture the therapeutic relationship while implementing such creative interventions as centering techniques, problem solving, pattern work, meditation and embodiment exercises, drama and dream work, and spiritual exploration. Appendices feature reproducible client forms, handouts, and other useful materials.

The Guilford Press

Constructive Psychotherapy: Theory and Practice

El constructivismo está obligando a pensadores de todas las disciplinas a reconsiderar algunas de sus creencias más profundamente arraigadas, pero a la vez más limitadoras, sobre la naturaleza humana y la naturaleza del cambio. Por eso era urgente construir una base definitiva para entender la terapia constructivista, así como sus diversas versiones actuales, y esta tarea es la que emprende este libro, resumiéndola en una cuestión clave: ¿cómo encuentran los psicólogos las tramas narrativas que ayudan a los individuos con dificultades a tejer de nuevo el entramado de su vida? De hecho, el libro está pensado para que los investigadores y los científicos sociales puedan descubrir que el constructivismo ofrece una de las mejores oportunidades para la integración teórica en psicología. Y constituye una excelente oportunidad, en fin, para explorar y mantener el ritmo de crecimiento de esa tendencia, que ya ocupa un lugar central en la teoría y la práctica psicológicas del m
