Book description
Cognitive therapy is the established method of helping people to
overcome states of depression, anxiety or other emotional conditions.
Not only do the authors explain the theory behind the treatment but
this was the first collection of case studies to be published outside
the United States.
With an introduction to the development and
application of cognitive therapy, the book goes on to outline how it
can work for a therapist or counsellor. Covering cases from depression
and panic disorder to bulimia and obsessive-compulsive disorder,
giving details of the process of the therapy in each case.
This
is an invaluable practical guide to how cognitive therapy works for
clinical psychologists, students, social workers, nurses and psychiatrists.
