Synopsis

Cognitive behaviour therapy is now established as one of the leading psychological treatments for many psychiatric conditions and numerous controlled trials have demonstrated its effectiveness. This work provides guidance on how to practise cognitive behaviour therapy with patients suffering from a wide range of emotional disorders. The text also provides reviews of research findings. The editors have drawn together contributions from specialists in the practice, teaching and empirical investigation of cognitive behaviour therapy. The book begins with a summary of cognitive behavioural principles on which the theory is based and continues with an account of how to carry out the cognitive-behavioural assessment. Subsequent chapters describe how to use cognitive behaviour therapy to treat particular conditions ranging from panic and general anxiety to depression and eating and somatic disorders. Each chapter describes the condition under consideration, outlines assessment procedures and factors likely to be important in formulating the problem, and then takes the reader step-by-step through each stage of the treatment. Particular attention is paid to the ways of overcoming difficulties encountered during treatment. The volume concludes with a description of problem-solving training. It should be of value to anyone wishing to use cognitive behavioural treatment, novices and experienced practitioners alike.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Cognitive behaviour therapy is now established as the leading psychological treatment for many psychiatric conditions. This innovative book gives a guide to practising the therapy with patients suffering from a wide range of emotional disorders. Unlike other handbooks which extensively review research findings, this concentrates on showing the reader how to perform the therapy in practice. Acknowledged experts in the practice, teaching, and empirical investigation of cognitive behaviour therapy contribute to the book. It provides a summary of the cognitive behavioural principles on which the therapy is based, followed by a detailed account of how to carry out a cognitive-behavioural assessment. Subsequent chapters provide self-contained descriptions of how to use the therapy to treat particular conditions: panic and generalized anxiety, phobic disorders, depression, obsessional disorders, somatic problems, eating disorders, chronic psychiatric handicaps, marital problems, and sexual dysfunctions. A final chapter provides a description of problem-solving training. Each chapter describes the condition, assessment procedures, factors likely to be important in formulating the problem, and then the treatment, step-by-step. Particular attention is paid to overcoming difficulties encountered during treatment, and extensive use is made of clinical material and case illustrations. This is an excellent guide to the practice of cognitive behaviour therapy for all those beginning to use the technique.

Revue de presse

There are several other books on the market that cover similar topics but this has to be seen as the market leader. It is easy to read, uniformly well written and the most comprehensive of the practical handbooks available. I fully recommend it. (British Medical Journal)

The editors have done an excellent editorial job and all the chapters follow a straightforward format, introducing the disorder, discussing formulation, assessment, and treatment, and finishing with a summary of the relevant research evaluating the treatment... it should be useful for any therapists, whether they be psychologists, psychiatrists, counsellors, or psychiatric nurses, who want to get an idea of what actually goes on in cognitive behavioural treatments. It should also be recommended reading in training programmes in cognitive behaviour therapy. (British Medical Journal)

This is an important and timely book ... the standard of writing is very good and I think the book succeeds admirably in its stated aims. It can be recommended fully to individuals and to libraries. (British Journal of Clinical Psychology)

A very good addition to the burgeoning literature... will be a standard text on cognitive-behavioural therapy in Britain for some time to come. (British Journal of Medical Psychology)
