Behavioral Economics and Clinical Psychology: Developing an Integrative Therapeutic Method, Volume I
Behavioral Economics and Clinical Psychology: Developing an Integrative Therapeutic Method (Volume I)
What if modern clinical psychology has overlooked one of the most powerful explanatory frameworks for human dysfunction and maladaptive behavior?
In this groundbreaking two-volume work, Dr. Mar a Luisa Fernanda Mendiz bal Montes presents a bold new therapeutic framework that systematically integrates the science of behavioral economics into modern clinical psychology-creating a novel, comprehensive method for psychological intervention designed to address cognitive bias, decisional error, self-deception, treatment resistance, and maladaptive behavioral patterns at their root.
Formatted as a PhD dissertation and drawing upon the pioneering work of Daniel Kahneman, Amos Tversky, Richard Thaler, and decades of contemporary psychological research, this volume establishes the theoretical and scientific foundation for a new integrative therapeutic methodology capable of bridging the gap between how patients think, how they choose, and how they change.
Volume I includes:
A comprehensive history and analysis of clinical psychology and its major schools of thoughtAn in-depth exploration of behavioral economics and the science of human irrationalityDetailed examination of cognitive biases, heuristics, and decision-making failuresThe theoretical rationale for integrating behavioral economics into therapeutic practiceFoundations of the author's proposed integrative clinical frameworkPositioned at the intersection of psychology, economics, cognition, and therapeutic science, this work offers clinicians, researchers, and advanced students a new paradigm for understanding and treating human behavior.
Volume I lays the theoretical groundwork. Volume II presents the practical implementation, therapeutic models, and applied clinical methodology.
A landmark contribution to the future of psychological intervention.
