Eliminating Self-Defeating Behaviors
| Overview / Abstract: |
Self-defeating behaviors are negative on-going patterns of behaviors involving issues such as smoking, weight, inactive lifestyle, depression, anger, perfectionism, etc. This course is designed to teach concepts to eliminate these negative patterns. The course is educational: first you learn the model, then you apply it to a specific self-defeating behavior. A positive behavioral change is the outcome. Following the course, participants will be able to identify, analyze and replace their self-defeating behavior(s) with positive behavior(s). The course also provides an excellent psychological “tool” for clinicians to use with their clients. The author grants limited permission to photocopy forms and exercises included in this course for clinical use. |

Presenters / Authors / Faculty |
Robert E. Hardy, PhD received his doctorate degree from Western Michigan University where he was a Mott Foundation Scholar. Currently, he is a Minnesota-Licensed Psychologist. In 1991, he co-authored SELF-DEFEATING BEHAVIORS (Harper/Collins). The book remains in publication, and is considered the classic work on why/how individual’s repeat negative behaviors. In 1996, he co-authored THE SELF-DEFEATING ORGANIZATION (Addison-Wesley). This book applied his models to eliminate self-defeating behaviors to teams, groups, and organization. Dr. Hardy has been a frequent speaker on self-defeating behaviors. During this time, his weight was over 300 pounds. Lecturing on his topic, and weighing that much became a “Marketing Nightmare”. Finally, he applied his behavioral change models to his weight issues. His current weight is 165 pounds, and he has maintained that weight loss for over ten years. This experience led him to authoring YOU DON’T KNOW HOW to CHANGE (Amazon and Kindle, 2011). This book presents his educational model of change. First, individuals learn the models. Then they learn to apply the models, the desired outcome being permanent behavioral change. |
