Synopsis

In a relatively short period of time, cognitive behaviour therapy has become the leading psychotherapy in most Western countries. Much of the appeal and success of cognitive behaviour therapy is due to the close links between science and practice which characterise the cognitive behaviour therapy movement and to the demonstrated effectiveness of the treatment approach. This book, which is divided into two parts, illustrates the links between science and practice in modern Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. Part One covers general issues and includes chapters on: The Evolution of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (Stanley Rachman) ; The Foundations of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (Michael Gelder) ; Information Processing Biases in Emotional Disorders (Andrew Mathews) ; The Relationship Between Cognition and Emotion (John D Teasdale) ; Efficacy and Dissemination of Psychological Treatment (David H. Barlow and Stefan G Hofmann) . The book will be of interest to clinicians and researchers from a wide range of backgrounds, as well as students and trainees in clinical psychology, psychiatry and psychotherapy. This book is intended for psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, psychotherapists.

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,)
