Sommario/riassunto

Spectroscopic data undoubtedly provides a great deal of useful information about organic molecules. Competently deriving structural information from such data therefore, is a requisite skill for many undergraduates studying chemistry. Interpreting Organic Spectra covers the basic principles of spectroscopy in as non-mathematical a way as possible. It assumes no previous knowledge of spectroscopy and avoids excessive theory, approaching the topic as an exercise in pattern recognition. Hence the main focus of the book is in the provision of a variety of spectra for the student to interpret. Stud

Learning from Mistakes in Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy; Copyright; Contents; Preface; PART I: General mistakes; 1 Exploring for too long your clients' expectations of REBT and their previous experiences of therapy; 2 Developing the therapeutic relationship first; 3 Not setting or keeping to a therapeutic agenda; 4 Not being active and directive; 5 Not wanting to intervene in your clients' problems without knowing the `big picture' first; 6 Believing you need to understand the past before you can deal with the present

7 Wanting to give your clients opportunities to express themselves in their own way instead of through the REBT model8 Listening passively; 9 Not ensuring that your clients have answered the questions you have asked; 10 Not interrupting rambling or verbose clients; 11 Being verbose yourself; 12 Failing to obtain feedback; 13 Avoiding confrontation; 14 Not working collaboratively; 15 Not adopting a problem-orientated focus; 16 Failing to keep your clients on track; 17 Not checking your clients' understanding of REBT terminology; 18 Not developing a shared vocabulary

19 Trying to teach `B`-'C' thinking while struggling unsuccessfully to



abandon `A'-`C' language20 Not socializing your clients into REBT in the first or early sessions of therapy; 21 Not teaching the `ABC' model in a clear way; 22 Being didactic with clients who would profit more from Socratic dialogue and vice versa; 23 Being insufficiently repetitive in teaching REBT concepts; 24 Not explaining the purpose of an intervention; PART II: Assessment mistakes; 25 Allowing your clients to provide too much detail about the activating event; 26 Accepting your clients' vagueness in describing `A'

27 Allowing your clients to talk compulsively about their feelings28 Not obtaining a problem list; 29 Not asking for a specific example of the target problem; 30 Readily assuming that an irrational belief is your clients' problem; 31 Failing to intervene to make imprecise emotional `C's precise; 32 Not explaining why disturbed feelings are unhealthy/unhelpful and why non-disturbed feelings are healthy/helpful; 33 Pressurizing your clients to be exact about their feelings; 34 Treating frustration as a `C' instead of an `A'

35 Generalizing from an emotional `C' when you need to be specific, and being specific when it is important to generalize36 Focusing on a behavioural `C' instead of using it to find an emotional `C'; 37 Becoming obsessive in searching for the critical `A'; 38 Challenging inferences instead of waiting to dispute uncovered irrational beliefs; 39 Pursuing theoretical inferences instead of clinically significant ones; 40 Not realizing that your clients' target emotion has changed; 41 Not noticing that your clients have provided you with a `C' instead of an inference; 42 Not clarifying the `it'

43 Using theory-driven questions in assessing irrational beliefs when open-ended questions would be more productive for your clients and vice versa
