商品簡介
Writing in a style accessible to therapists, non-therapists, and students, Cooper (clinical psychology, the Mental Health Service, Harvard University) creates a framework based in systems theory for understanding various models of human reactions to internal and external change. The models examined include general systems theory, attachment theory, the stages of change model, the normal or bell-shaped curve, and hierarchies and inverted hierarchies. Each of the abstract models is discussed in terms of its basic form and structure, with example applications of the model for coping with change.
