Synopsis

Fully revised and updated, the second edition of this authoritative Handbook reflects the continuing evolution of the field over the last decade. The volume brings together established experts to review the theories, research, and treatment methodologies associated with the major cognitive-behavioral models. Part I describes historical foundations and basic principles. Extensively rewritten chapters cover such topics as assessment strategies and recent developments in the cognitive sciences, and new chapters have been added on case formulation and psychotherapy integration. Part II comprises detailed presentations of specific treatment approaches: cognitive therapy, rational-emotive behavior therapy, self-management approaches, problem-solving therapies, and child and adolescent applications. Chapters on each model combine thorough coverage of theory and research with illuminating clinical vignettes.

About this title

Review

"The original Handbook was a worthy contribution to the clinical literature, and the second edition promises to be one as well. The text is thoughtful and incisive. It has something to offer both the scientist and the practitioner, and integrates these perspectives in a lively and informative fashion."--Steven D. Hollon, PhD, Department of Psychology, Vanderbilt University "This important volume surveys the range of the major cognitive-behavioral therapies to date. Its depth and breadth are impressive and help the reader sort out the similarities and differences in conceptualization and treatment among these therapies. This book should prove useful for graduate students as well as for mental health professionals who are interested in a comprehensive description of the cognitive-behavioral therapy field."--Judith S. Beck, PhD, Beck Institute for Cognitive Therapy and Research, Bala Cynwyd, PA "The development and proliferation of cognitive-behavioral approaches since the publication of the first edition of this Handbook has been nothing less than extraordinary. In the tradition of the well-received first edition, this superbly edited and written second edition provides the latest authoritative statements on the theory and conceptual issues underlying today's cognitive-behavioral therapies....While the chapters emphasize the theoretical and empirical bases for these approaches, they also provide ample descriptions of the respective treatments and illuminate the links between theory and intervention. Conceptual and methodological issues that cut across different therapies are given balanced and in-depth treatment with an empirical emphasis that is the hallmark of cognitive-behavioral therapy. This book is particularly well suited as a text for graduate courses in psychotherapy and for psychiatric residents who are learning a cognitive-behavioral approach."--Andrew C.
