States and Processes for Mental Health, presents a novel mechanism of action for psychotherapy, revealing how psychotherapy actually works by advancing key states and processes characterizing mental health. This new understanding is presented in three sections. The first section identifies the key states and processes characterizing mental health including activity, psychological defense mechanisms, social connectedness and human specific cognition. The second section examines 15 different major forms of psychotherapy and non-specific factors. For each form of psychotherapy a comprehensive overview, including an empirical and theoretical proof of concept is provided. In the last section, the author explores the problems in the current psychotherapy approach, whereby various forms of psychotherapy are oriented to remedying psychopathology. Dr. Bowin offers a new approach to psychotherapy, focusing on applying general strategies derived from existing forms to help advance each of the states and processes characterizing mental health. Presents six factors critical to maintaining mental healthReviews how different therapies attempt to influence these factorsExplores role of behavioral activation and inhibition systems (BAS/BIS) in healthFocuses on importance of social connectedness and self-acceptanceIncludes importance of adaptability, self-regulation, and defense mechanisms | States And Processes For Mental Health by Brad Bowins, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
