For example, a depressed woman who is afraid to assert herself can be described as reliving a childhood during which speaking up was dangerous, leading to rejection, even abandonment. IRT gives sufferers the tools to revise or replace internalized versions of attachment figures (the \"family in the head\") to create a more secure internal base. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e IRT is integrative, drawing on any intervention relevant to the case formulation, and it is compatible with medications as needed for stress management. Evidence of effectiveness is provided for a treatment-resistant population. In this warm and engaging book, author Lorna Smith Benjamin shows how patients can more effectively cope with threat and find safety in their everyday lives. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lorna Smith Benjamin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1433828901\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781433828904\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e American Psychological Association (APA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/08\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.20h x 7.20w x 0.80d","brand":"Lorna Smith Benjamin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43991992336639,"sku":"9781433828904","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ecc1de9e-35cd-400b-85cb-ad04455a7829.jpg?v=1683313418","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/interpersonal-reconstructive-therapy-for-anger-lorna-smith-benjamin-9781433828904","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
