Robert Gleave The foundation of any psychological theory or therapy assumes that we can discover rules that apply to all cir- cumstances. Any attempt to create a Gospel-based therapy—by the very nature of the attempt—is an attempt to articulate a set of principles that apply to all people in all circumstances. The gospel must be dynamic and cannot be reduced to all encompassing rules; rather it must be a present tense lived experience with the complexity of every day oppositions in “real time.” A gospel theory, therefore, would employ the very system that it intends to overthrow, and every attempt fails. I argue that the whole point of the Gift of the Holy Ghost is to have help with the “moment-to- moment decision-making” of life. It provides for ongoing teaching and the “one-on-one” tutoring needed to develop judgment and wisdom. I suggest it is a more prudent course to get very well grounded in both the Gospel and our professions, and then to use our best informed judgment and our agency to create a relationship and a synergistic interaction that our clients can use in their own way—expressing their own judgment and agency to meet the unique challenges and circumstances of their own lives. I submit that we will meet the needs of the real individuals that enter our offices better by “being” in tune with the Spirit than by trying to sum up the gospel in psychological terms or sum up psychology in gospel terms. have long been a member of AMCAP .

New York: Springer. 9-24-20 11-1-20 Personal Perspectives on the Development of Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavior Therapy Gerald C. Davison Department of Psychology University of Southern California Los Angeles, CA 90089-1061 [email protected] In June 1999 I was privileged to be invited to a two-day conference at the University of Nevada, Reno to participate in presentations by colleagues regarded by the organizing committee (William T. O’Donohue, Deborah A. Henderson, Steven C. Hayes, Jane E. Fisher, and Linda J. Hayes) to be founders of behavior therapy. Most of the other speakers and those, having passed, their surrogates, were people whose seminal writings I had learned from as a graduate student and as a young researcher, teacher, and practitioner. The task set for each of us was to describe what we saw as the strongest influences in our professional lives and to discuss a publication that we believed had had some importance in the development of (cognitive) behavior therapy. We were also encouraged to engage in something which occasionally happens only in personal settings with friends and perhaps also with colleagues and students, namely autobiographical material that each of us believed had had bearing on our intellectual and professional development. The assumption of the conference organizers was that this framework would provide a context for a deeper understanding of the field than is available in published materials and, if one is lucky, from direct and extended contacts with a small handful of senior colleagues.

This model provides a compelling alternative to traditional research on psychotherapy, which tends to focus on identifying the most effective treatment for particular disorders through emphasizing the specifi c ingredients of treatment. The new edition also includes a history of healing practices, medicine, and psychotherapy; an examination of therapist effects; and a thorough review of the research on common factors such as the alliance, expectations, and empathy.

  • Sermoncitos II Roy E
    Sermoncitos II Roy E. Howard Nathan L. Howard and other authors Foreward In October 1967 I left home to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Lat- ter-day Saints. My father, Edward Lorenzo Howard Jr., started sending me a letter each week, which was in the form of a one page typed sermon. This was really an extension of the sermons he had published on his own printing press with handset type. He continued the little sermons every week until the day before his death at age 90. His mailing list expanded and he purchased a copy machine and lots of stamps. He adjusted to the changes in technology with a computer for typing, then used email to send out the weekly sermoncitos, always on schedule. His cre- ativity and academic integrity never waivered. He bore his testimony of Jesus Christ and the restoration of the Gospel to innumerable people through this tremendous effort. He continued to be a teacher to his children and grandchildren all the days of his life. The tradition became such an integral part of the family, that his oldest son, Nathan, took over the responsibility with not one week missed in the routine. This fi rst volume is a compilation of Sermoncitos II, those written since the passing of Edward L. Howard, Jr. Since there have been hundreds of Sermoncitos before and after these, this is just a small collection through December, 2007. Authors of this volume: Nathan Lorenzo Howard, family patriarch and custodian of the project; LouAnna Fifield, a dear friend that has influenced many, including us, by her living example of the of “cocoa seed” analogy; and family members JoAnn F.
