Synopsis

Psychological treatments have proven very effective in treating a wide spectrum of psychiatric syndromes, including depression, panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, bulimia nervosa, hypochondriasis, chronic fatigue syndrome, premenstrual syndrome and social phobia. Science and Practice of Cognitive Behavior Therapy provides a summary of the current literature and a useful examination of the science and practice within cognitive behavior therapy. Both David Clark and Christopher Fairburn are acknowledged experts in the field and have succeeded in bringing together some of the world's foremost authorities in psychiatry. Topics covered include: the scientific foundations of cognitive behavior therapy, efficacy and dissemination of psychological treatments, panic disorders and social phobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, sex therapy, and attempted suicide.

About this title

Review

the main value of this book for the sex therapist is an overview of cognitive behaviour therapy, and in particular an up-to-date account of its application to particular disorders and the context of sex therapy within this (Brian Daines, BASMT Bulletin 14 (1997))

This is a broad textbook written by the leading British cognitive-behaviour therapists, which covers the present state of both the theory and practice of CBT. This book is highly recommended reading for all practicing cognitive-behavioural therapists. (Lars-Gunnar Lundh,)
