Healing Outcomes by Raymond Hawkins

Healing Outcomes by Raymond Hawkins

We believe that this book is important because it presents an integrative multi-level theory called the systems-contextual integrative model (SCIM) that unites personality and contextual influences in an elaboration of Andras Angyal’s (1965) theory of health (healing) and neurosis (trauma) systems principles. Methodologically, our book links this meta-theory of change with the latest innovations in idiographic, process-oriented measurement that will guide practice research network applications. This book will be useful for psychotherapy theorists who aim to develop unified models that will facilitate further research on core processes that will promote outcome effectiveness. Our book will be interesting to practitioners who wish not only to measure outcomes but also to understand and integrate wholistic person-centered personality processes with environmental contexts to promote these healing outcomes. Students studying clinical and counseling psychology will learn a comprehensive, unified overview of current psychotherapy outcomes research and measurement.
