Synopsis
This step-by-step treatment guidebook demonstrates the application of cognitive therapy to an extremely wide range of behavioral and emotional disorders. Distinguished contributors use verbatim transcripts of therapy sessions to highlight the key elements for successful treatment. As a whole, the work probes the limits of cognitive therapy-what does it work on, and more importantly what doesn't it work on?
Booknews
Complements the Comprehensive Handbook of Cognitive Therapy (Plenum, 1989) by presenting 34 case studies in which cognitive therapy is applied to such clinical issues as post-traumatic stress disorder, bulimia, cocaine abuse, depression and chronic pain. Therapists from a broad range of the practice are included--some from a more cognitive, and others from a more behavioral approach. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
