Attribution theory in clinical psychology

More about the book

A translated and updated edition of the 1986 German book Attributionstheorie in der Klinischen Psychologie --the references alone have been expanded by more than a third. Demonstrates how attribution theory can be used to make concrete deductions for clinical practice. Also identifies a common language for some processes that are similar in different schools of psychotherapy. Reflects the recent literature on behavioral medicine, preventative health behavior, and marital distress--and now includes sections that address the problems of attribution assessment, the use of self-handicapping strategies, and the influence of emotional processes on cognitive variables.
