Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) has a well-elaborated theoretical back-
ground and documented standard therapeutic process.However,new specific
theoretical formulations and genuine techniques seem to continually appear.
These new treatment developments in CBT constitute the heart of this book.
Leading researchers and clinicians,who are also well-established experts in
the application of CBT, present the extent of their experience, as well as
appropriate and state-of-the-art treatment techniques for a variety of specific
disorders.Topics covered in this book include:
• Management of major depression,suicidal behaviour and bipolar disorder
• Treatment of anxiety disorders, such as panic disorder, obsessive com-
pulsive disorder and generalised anxiety disorder
• Application of CBT to eating disorders and personality disorders,espe-
cially borderline personality disorder
• Implementation of CBT with specific populations,for example couples
and families or children and adolescents.
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy:A Guide for the Practising Clinicianis a clinical
practice oriented and treatment techniques focused book which allows for
adequate flexibility in order to help the practising clinician become more
competent and efficient in applying cognitive behaviour therapy. It will be
invaluable to clinicians,researchers and mental health practitioners.
