1,000 copies • Partial manuscript • Looking for mental health, medical, and personal growth topics grounded in science, careful research, and a tradition of empirically validated clinical practice.
New Harbinger Publications brings readers effective, scientifically sound self-help books that deal with a range of topics in psychology, health, and personal growth. We are in the vanguard of developments in clinical practice. We are the leading publishers of books based in the new “third wave” of behavior therapy. Using acceptance and commitment therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, these books combine traditional cognitive and behavior-therapy techniques with other approaches like mindfulness and acceptance.
Launched by psychologist Matthew McKay and writer Patrick Fanning in 1973, New Harbinger pioneered a style of self-help book that has become the standard of today. Fanning and McKay believed that the job of a self-help book was to teach readers skills they could use to significantly improve the quality of their lives. These books might inspire and enlighten in their own way, but they had to offer real tools for real change. McKay and Fanning’s writing partnership has yielded a dozen highly successful titles which have established the model for New Harbinger’s other books.
