Product Description

Bringing together leading experts in the field, this book explores how cognitive therapy has become a treatment of choice not just for depression but for such diverse problems as eating disorders, health anxiety, OCD, panic, personality disorders, sexual problems, social phobia, and substance abuse. Theoretical and clinical issues that apply to particular populations, including children, adolescents, and the medically ill, are discussed in detail. In addition, important issues related to therapist competency, the therapeutic relationship, and empathy are systematically examined.

Editorial Reviews

Review
"If there were only one reason to look at this book, it would be because of the wealth of information found in the overviews of cognitive therapy throughout the years....A second reason why this work is important is its strength in both theoretical and empirical issues. Researchers and practitioners will find this text an excellent reference source of empirical support for cognitive therapy approaches to clinical and personality disorders....A third and most important reason for reading this book is to be found in Salkovski's epilogue that allows us a glimpse into the life of A.T. Beck." --Journal of Cognitive Psychotherapy "Salkovskis...assembled a stellar group of theorists, researchers, and therapists to contribute....Will appeal particularly to therapists who apply the principles of cognitive therapy to many different kinds of problems, as well as to the rarer therapist who specializes in cognitive therapy for a particular disorder....Should be required reading by all psychotherapists, as well as by students in psychotherapy training, and their supervisors." --Contemporary Psychology "This erudite text...[brings] together many of the foremost researchers and clinicians in the field....The work achieves its goal of mapping the frontiers of cognitive therapy." --Psychiatric Services "Due to the scope of topics reviewed and the revisions in cognitive theory, practice, and applications, this publication is a valuable resource for all psychological clinicians, students and researchers." --Biological Abstracts/RRM (Reports, Reviews, Meetings) "Selected by Doody's Rating Service as one of the Best Health Sciences Book of 1996" -- Review

Review

"Fresh ideas [are] evident in this rich collection, edited by one of the leading contributors to the advance of cognitive-behavioral therapy. There are excellent and up-to-date chapters on a full range of psychological problems." --From the Foreword by S. Rachman, PhD

"A masterful compilation illustrating cognitive therapy's impact on psychiatry and clinical psychology. The widespread application of cognitive therapy across continents and syndromes is indicative of the wide dissemination of this particular treatment modality. The broad spectrum is reflected in the adaptations of this treatment that extend across the lifespan." --David J. Kupfer, MD

"Aaron T. Beck has laid the foundation for an empirical, testable form of psychotherapy which is destined to be practiced well into the next century. It is a form of therapy that can be applied to a wide range of problems....[This book presents] a stimulating and wide-ranging set of chapters from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean....It describes progress being made in cognitive psychotherapy across a wide range of problems seen in clinical work." --Sir David Goldberg, DM, FRCP
