Böcker av Gerald Young

A race against time..A push against purpose...deception of a search...A cry from lost glory.. All that and more points to the adventures of several lives.... hidden within the pages of an intriguing Tapestry.

On the development side of the model building, the author has constructed an integrated lifespan stage model of development across the Piagetian cognitive and the Eriksonian socioaffective domains. The model is based on the concept of neo-stages, which mitigates standard criticisms of developmental stage models.

Based on the work of Piaget and Neo-Piagetians, and exploring other major models in development, this multidisciplinary book sets forth a new model of development from a causal perspective. The text geared to multiple levels and multiple audiences.

This book analyzes definitions, concepts and recent research to offer a new model of malingering, feigning and other biases, and develops an associated diagnostic system applicable to PTSD, chronic pain and TBI. Presents ideas on practice and future research.

Focusing on PTSD, traumatic brain injury, and chronic pain (and grounding readers in salient US and Canadian case law), this title sets out a multifactorial causality framework to facilitate admissibility of psychological evidence in court. It also examines issues concerning malingering, as are clinical gray areas that can jeopardize validity.
