Book six of the book series represents its crowning achievement. It consists of excerpts of the best material, especially from books III, IV, and V of the first five books in the series. I selected those figures and accompanying text that provide the clearest description of the book series - major messages and its best therapeutic self-help skills. The excerpted book offers a concise presentation of the book series contents, allowing the reader to consult the complete series for more in-depth reading.

From A for Alligators and Aardvarks all the way to Z for Zebra The Alpaca And Alpha Alphabet Book introduces preschoolers and young children to the alphabet in an easy-to-read, fun-filled way. Charming verses, "Ducks and dolphins swim with delight. Deer and dogs dance in the light. But dragons dream in the dark of the night", and big graphical illustrations of alphabet letters are paired with a multitude of animals - some familiar, some exotic to bring the love of reading to the youngest minds. Even some parents may not recognize some of the animals peeking out from the pages. Dr. Gerald Young, PhD., has created this book with the idea that a child' s natural love of learning and reading (one of the world' s greatest pleasures) opens up a bright future to eager minds. This engaging book will spark the minds of any age into numerous wonderful directions.

Book seven presents workbook exercises that have the reader review and reflect on the contents of Books III, IV, and V of the book series. The exercises emphasize empowering our inner positive psychological core and good habits, or strengths and advantages, while helping readers toward altering negatives, bad habits, and so forth. Each of the exercises begins with an introductory paragraph, so that the reader can read the book by itself, without reference to other books.

This fifth volume presents two-dimensional artistic line drawings intended to relax and inspire. Many of the drawings are about nature and animals. Many are about people and family. I do these drawings quickly, illustrating that, with a single line or a series of lines, we can both express ourselves and relax in doing so. The accompanying text for this book emphasizes the role that we all have to play in helping nature survive. I added text related to nature and our need to protect and preserve it. By acting to save the planet, its habitats, its animals, and its plants, we engage in the best forms of destressing.

The third volume of the book series deals with negative emotions, such as worry and sadness, and specific emotional problems, such as drinking or dealing with pain. The volume moves from these negative and most basic emotions to positive ones, for it concludes with chapters on love and motivation, in particular. The main theme of this volume is that we can use emotions to our advantage, that emotions color all our activities, and that we can control. Them when they are negative. This third book in the book series concludes with a chapter on rewriting the stories that we tell about ourselves so that they are more positive.

The second volume is on destressing. This volume marks the beginning of the major use of therapeutic figures. In this volume, I explain basic concepts about stress and I explain behavioral techniques on how to distress. I emphasize various cognitive techniques, such as keeping our hope, optimism, and positive attitude. We learn that when confronted with stress, we have options in our behavior and we can be in control. I go on to explain that having some stress can be growth promoting and that we can learn to live effectively with it. This first book in the series concludes with a chapter on recovering stress is a start and dealing with it is our goal.

The first volume in the book series presents in a straight forward manner essays introducing psychology and how to live life more happily and effectively. The essays are meant to cover the basic topics presented in the remaining books, and they include pertinent definitions and explanations of concepts, although the reader does not have to read these essays before reading the other books. The topics in the first set of essays range from what are the fundamentals in psychology, to how to deal with stress, to how cognitive behavioral therapy works. The second set of essays is more literary in the first part and more scholarly in the second. The essays range from short ones that are more inspirational and motivational, to ones on change and on stages in development and their implications. Key themes relate to growth and responsibility.

The last volume of the book series presents inspirational sayings for living, loving, and learning. The sayings were written based on Dr. Young's work with his clients. They offer a basis for rejoining joy and gaining in life. The third through fifth book of the series concern stress, emotions, and daily living, and there are 10 chapters in each book. For each chapter, there are about 50 -100 sayings and bolded sentences that are like sayings. They cover topics such as increasing positives, ensuring success, and improving relationships. There are over 20 topics related to destressing, emotions, and daily living, including at work and with family. There are over 20 sayings per topic. They will motivate, inspire, and help to promote good habits while helping to inhibit negative ones.

On the development side of the model building, the author has constructed an integrated lifespan stage model of development across the Piagetian cognitive and the Eriksonian socioaffective domains. The model is based on the concept of neo-stages, which mitigates standard criticisms of developmental stage models.

The third book in Young's unique trilogy on causality and development continues to locate and define the central role of causality in biopsychosocial and network/systems development, and as a unifying concept of psychology itself. As a way of discussing causality, in general, initially, the book focuses on the acquisition of handedness and hemispheric specialization in infancy and childhood, and their relations to the development of cognition, language, and emotion, in particular. The second part of the book elaborates an innovative 25-step Neo-Eriksonian model of development across the life course based on a Neo-Piagetian model covered in the previous books, completing a step-by-step account of development over the lifespan cognitively and socio-emotionally. It builds on the concept of neo-stage, which is network-based. From this conceptual synthesis, the author's robust theory of development and causality identifies potential areas for psychological problems and pathology at each developmental step as well as science-based possibilities for their treatment. This elegant volume:Presents a clear picture of the development of handedness and laterality in more depth than has been attempted in the literature to date.Traces the causal concepts of activation-inhibition coordination and networking in the context of development.Describes in depth a novel 25-step Neo-Eriksonian lifespan model of development.Reviews relevant research on Piagetian and Eriksonian theories in development.Emphasizes the clinical utility of the described 25-step Neo-Eriksonian approach to lifespan development. A significant step in understanding this highly nuanced subject and synthesizing a broad knowledge base, Causality and Development will find an interested audience among developmental psychologists, mental health practitioners, academics, and researchers.chers.

This book analyzes definitions, concepts and recent research to offer a new model of malingering, feigning and other biases, and develops an associated diagnostic system applicable to PTSD, chronic pain and TBI. Presents ideas on practice and future research.

Based on the work of Piaget and Neo-Piagetians, and exploring other major models in development, this multidisciplinary book sets forth a new model of development from a causal perspective. The text geared to multiple levels and multiple audiences.

Focusing on PTSD, traumatic brain injury, and chronic pain (and grounding readers in salient US and Canadian case law), this title sets out a multifactorial causality framework to facilitate admissibility of psychological evidence in court. It also examines issues concerning malingering, as are clinical gray areas that can jeopardize validity.
