Psychological Interventions
Author: Mary Ballou
language: en
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
Release Date: 1995-09-26
This book examines a variety of psychological intervention strategies used in counseling and therapy to bring about change. It is a handbook of strategies which reviews major forms of interventions, reviews research evidence of effectiveness, and challenges existing theoretical boundaries. In contrast to existing handbooks, Ballou offers interventions identified by their goal of change, rather than by a particular theoretical orientation or the kind of difficulty the client is undergoing. Each chapter describes a strategy, presents clear instruction for its use, and considers appropriate and inappropriate uses for the strategy. Each chapter also addresses the research evidence underlying claims of effectiveness. Edited by an academic and practitioner of counseling psychology, the book seeks to address the needs of both professionals in the field and students and scholars in the academic community.
Seeker
A small boy is abandoned into great peril under a great city. The 7aEUR"yearaEUR"old feral boy is captured by a criminal childaEUR"seller. He is involved in a traffic accident where he is misidentified as a privileged person and is given expensive medical care. When it is discovered that he does not deserve the treatment, he is "Debt Bonded" into an international military antiaEUR"terrorist force. He matures and becomes a famous warrior. The warrior goes into a violent combat assignment and is injured by a land mine which amputates both of his legs. The protagonist is used in the lunar orbit construction of the first spaceship ever launched from Earth. His great skill and luck causes him to be kidnapped and to be included in the chemicalaEUR"preserved crew of the spaceship. Many years later the spaceship Seeker is attracted to an unaEUR"named planet. The protagonist is awakened and manages to safely land the spaceship which was never meant to land by highlyaEUR"improbable means. The protagonist wakes the crew and defends the ship's invasion by huge insects. The protagonist is altered by the bugs, his missing legs are replaced and his immortal body is greatly modified. The protagonist is confronted by a planetary computer which had remained hidden in fear. The MegaComputer relates a history of the races killed on the planet. The computer controls the entire planet and gives a ring of preserved orbiting spaceships to the Seeker crew. The preserved spaceships in orbit are used in two separate fleets of 1440 connected ships, one to resettle the vacant planets of the dead sentients and the second to rescue the population of Earth for resettlement on new planets. The protagonist and all Seekers are cloned to 3500 clones by the computer to man the 2880 spaceships. The protagonist and the computer discovers the computer data representing 32 species of sentient beings and the method of their revival of each of them. The oldest race recorded the physical and mental computer data before a fatal ray killed all sentient life on the planet. The protagonist and the computer awake a percentage of the "dead" sentients for spaceship crews. After a long return flight, the protagonist finds that the glacial Earth is poisoned by radiation and all the few remaining people must be cloned to safely leave Earth. The protagonist has succeeded in the revival of the murdered species and the resettlement of the known Universe and great explorations. The protagonist has rescued the glacial and radioactive Earth. The protagonist has conquered death, distance, time and the future. The book pauses before the following books concerning the details and adventures of particular selected subjects.
