Concreteness and Specificity in Clinical Psychology: Evaluations and Interventions by Luciano L’Abate
Requirements: .PDF reader, 7.3 MB
Overview: This provocative volume updates L’ Abate’s signature ideas, focusing in particular on the concepts of concreteness and specificity as basic tenets of evaluation and therapy. Noting society’s growing familiarity with technology, current concerns about treatment accessibility, and widespread interest in wellness promotion, he argues for remote-writing exercises targeted to specific client issues and monitored by the clinician instead of relying on traditional talk-based therapy. This attention to concreteness and specificity in baseline evaluation, post-treatment evaluation, and follow-up, the author asserts, is central to making treatment replicable, less subject to impasses or missteps, and more professional, with the potential of changing how therapy is conducted as well as how clinicians are trained and practice. The book’s framework includes rationales, models, empirical data, and examples of prescriptive remote-writing exercises.
