New Ideas in Therapy: Introduction to an Interdisciplinary Approach, Vol. 10 »

DOUGLAS RUBEN is a therapist and psychologist with a private clinic and a consultant for a rehabilitation psychology group.

DENNIS J. DELPRATO is Professor of Psychology, Eastern Michigan University.

According to the editors of New Ideas in Therapy, cognitive behaviorist theory is increasingly hampered by intrinsic theoretical limitations. A promising alternative and the subject of this book is interbehaviorism--a theory introduced by the late J.R. Kantor that looks at clinical events in terms of multiple causes and relationships operating within a integrated field or system. Written by a distinguished group of researchers and practitioners who have expanded upon Kantor's work, this study presents a new account of therapy that demonstrates, for the first time, how his field theory can be applied in modern clinical practice.
