Providing an accessible and thorough overview of the practice of CBT within mental health care, this new edition has been updated to include:
- Revised chapters on the therapeutic relationship and case formulation
- New material on personality disorders and bipolar disorder
- New material on working with diversity
- Content on the multidisciplinary context of CBT, the service user perspective, CBT from a holistic perspective
- Developments within the cognitive behavioral psychotherapies
- Continuous professional development for the CBT practitioner
- Photocopiable worksheets linked to case studies
Already a tried-and-tested guide for trainee psychologists and psychotherapists, as well as clinicians in mental health services and private practices, this text is also of value to practitioners who need refresher courses in CBT.
An excellent update that I have utilised in a number of teaching sessions. Is pertinent to mental health nurses but can also be used by non mental health nursing staff to give an overview of the application of CBT within mental health care.
An excellent introductory skill-based text on CBT that is adopted as a core recommended book for our IAPT students undertaking PG Dip in CBT.
More appropriate for post rather than pre-reg students.
An excellent text for those working with the seriously mentaly ill or undertaking studies linked to suporting such individuals.
this text has proved to be very useful in our mental health problems in primary care. CBT is often utilised in primary care and this text book has given tips and techniques for practice
This is an excellent book that will be of value to both the novice, inexperienced practitioner as well as to those already trained and practising CBT. It includes a wide range of material not often found in CBT text books and of particular interest is the inclusion of recovery and a service user perspective. I would recommend to anyone who has an interest in CBT to read this book!
At just the right level and detail.
This book is both detailed and accessible, which is a hard balance to achieve. Part 1 is particularly useful in covering the essential elements of the therapeutic relationship, assessment and formulation. Later sections provide practical but well referenced information on working with specific disorders. One of the particular strengths of this book is that, unlike many CBT books, it stresses the importance of the therapeutic relationship, and the social and organisational context of the work.
Clear and accessible over-view of subject. A good all-round intro for students who need to know about this approach because of their NHS work
