Synopsis

This volume contains examples of how cognitive therapists working in varied settings with groups of adult clients have applied the cognitive model in their domain. Cognitive therapy has much broader application than the traditional area of depression; contributors illustrate the way they work by using extended case material, readers will hear the voices of the clients and empathise with both client and therapist as they seek to build a collaborative relationship. Areas discussed range from drug abuse and eating disorders to obsessive behaviour. Any therapist, however experienced, will learn from `listening in' on the cases presented and students will find it essential reading.

About this title

Synopsis:

Since the publication of Aaron Beck's Cognitive Therapy in 1967, cognitive therapy has established itself as one of the major ways of treating depression. Its applications are, however, much wider and it is being used in an increasingly broad range of clinical situations - with the physically ill, the hypochondriacal, obsessional patients, and those with eating problems, for example. Cognitive Therapy in Clinical Practice discusses the use of cognitive therapy in these and other contexts. It combines an overview of the state of the art with case studies that demonstrate the particular applications of cognitive therapy.
