Synopsis

* Presents a unique dynamic approach to CBT * Shows how to implement this approach * Provides downloadable tools The process-based approach to cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a unique method for understanding psychological problems as complex networks of interacting processes. It allows therapists to grasp the individuality, complexity, and dynamics of psychological disorders - things that often get missed in diagnosis-oriented approaches. This book shows how these complex networks enable therapists using CBT to focus on the core processes responsible for a person's suffering. Downloadable tools are provided for clinical practice.
