When Dr. Donald Meichenbaum first suggested it and I approached my coauthor Lasse Nurmi, it did not seem to be as formidable a task as it has become. Interviewing the centers in this book has taken years-to get responses, to summarize those responses, and to return the summaries for further comment. Many centers have been created in that time; others have suspended operation. This volume does not claim to present even a majority of those centers. However, the ones contained herein are...

Autonomy and Clinical Medicine: Renewing the Health Professional Relation with the Patient
ISBN: 9789048154135 / Angielski / Miękka / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Although autonomy has become the primary standard of bioethics, little has been done to link it to the ways people actually behave, nor to its roots in the healing relationship. Combining as it does the disciplines of psychology and...

Improving the Efficiency of Preventive Lifestyle Change Interventions
ISBN: 9783838121291 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The paradox of behaving in a self-harming way, while being fully cognizant of the feared consequences, is the hallmark of addiction.

The high attrition rates and nearly complete decay of adherence observed in lifestyle change interventions suggest that health behaviors are the result of autonomous drives, which frustrate volitional interference. The implication for research is to abandon the untenable precept of health behaviors being controlled...
