Description
Summary:This innovative approach to cognitive psychotherapy comprises contributions dealing with both theoretical aspects and practical applications. It also presents for the first time cognitive psychotherapy as a comprehensive therapy system together with a detailed comparison between cognitive psychotherapy and other major systems of psychotherapy. The practical section of the book describes the application of cognitive psychotherapy to: phobias, bulimia, panic disorders and generalized anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorders, personality disorders, schizophrenia, psychotic or post-psychotic syndromes and group cognitive therapy for depression. The theoretical part includes a psychophysiological information-processing model, the analysis of meaning structures, the relation of cognitive psychotherapy to other psychotherapies, attachment theory and cognition and a constructivist approach to cognitive psychotherapy. Also included are reviews of cognitive measures and treatment trials in depression, as well as suggestions for the training of novice cognitive therapists.
