Guilford Publications, Inc., was founded in 1973, with a full-time staff of one. Weve since grown to over sixty times that number, and have built an international reputation as a publisher of books, periodicals, software, and audiovisual programs in mental health, education, and the social sciences. Based in New York Citys historic SoHo district, Guilfords offices are bordered by both Little Italy and Chinatown. This vibrant downtown neighborhood—renowned for its cast-iron architecture, artistic community, and international flair—retains its unique character despite the mall stores that have sprouted up around it. Similarly, Guilfords independent identity, stability, and commitment to quality make it a rarity in todays rapidly conglomerating publishing world. The firm is wholly owned by its two founding partners, president Bob Matloff and editor-in-chief Seymour Weingarten, who remain actively involved in its day-to-day business, and many staff members have been at Guilford for more than 20 years. From psychology, psychiatry, and the behavioral sciences, to education and geography, the company is dedicated to bringing well-written, solidly researched work to professionals, academics, and general readers. Guilfords balance of continuity and innovation has enabled us to foster lasting relationships with authors as well as customers, and to produce and market numerous enduring titles. With more than 950 titles in print, we typically publish 80+ new professional, text, trade, and reference books each year. The company also publishes 13 journals and 2 newsletters, as well as original video productions and software programs. Since Guilfords first publication—Cognitive Therapy of Depression, from Aaron T. Beck (winner of the 2006 Lasker Clinical Medical Research Award) and coauthors—we have been known for our works on frequently encountered mental health problems and effective treatment approaches. Recent releases in this area include Attachment in Psychotherapy, by David J. Wallin; Self-Help Approaches for Obesity and Eating Disorders: Research and Practice, edited by Janet D. Latner and G. Terence Wilson; and Handbook of PTSD: Science and Practice, edited by Matthew J. Friedman et al. New titles on children and adolescents include Growing Up with Autism: Working with School-Age Children and Adolescents, edited by Robin L. Gabriels and Dina E. Hill; The Child Clinicians Report-Writing Handbook, by Ellen Braaten; and Attachment Theory in Clinical Work with Children: Bridging the Gap between Research and Practice, edited by David Oppenheim and Douglas F. Goldsmith. In the academic sphere, Guilford is known for our books on research in clinical, developmental, and personality/social psychology. New titles include Attachment in Adulthood: Structure, Dynamics, and Change, by Mario Mikulincer and Phillip R. Shaver; Social Psychology: Second Edition: Handbook of Basic Principles, edited by Arie W. Kruglanski and E. Tory Higgins; Handbook of Cultural Psychology, edited by Shinobu Kitayama and Dov Cohen; and Handbook of Research Methods in Personality Psychology, edited by Richard W. Robins et al. For general readers, new self-help books and parenting guides include The Mindful Way through Depression: Freeing Yourself from Chronic Unhappiness, by Mark Williams et al., which comes with a companion audio CD narrated by Jon Kabat-Zinn. Of special note, Suzanne C. Segerstroms Breaking Murphys Law: How Optimists Get What They Want from Life—and Pessimists Can Too was featured in a recent article on Prevention.com, and Norman E. Rosenthals Winter Blues, Revised Edition: Everything You Need to Know to Beat Seasonal Affective Disorder was cited in the Personal Health column of The New York Times.
