Cognitive behavioural therapy Books

Book SynopsisTrichotillomania (TTM) is a complex disorder that is difficult to treat as few effective therapeutic options exist. Behaviour therapy has the greatest empirical support, but the number of mental health providers familiar with TTM and its treatment is quite small. This manual was written as a tool for therapists to become familiar with an effective treatment for TTM.The treatment approach described in this guide blends traditional behaviour with therapy elements of habit reversal training and stimulus control techniques with the more contemporary behavioural elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). In the first phase of the program, clients are taught skills for stopping and preventing their unconscious pulling episodes. In the second phase, clients are introduced to ACT. Unlike traditional interventions that aim to change type or frequency of pulling-related cognitions in the hopes of reducing urges to pull hair, this innovative program uses strategies to change the function of these cognitions. Clients are taught to see urges for what they really are and to accept their pulling-related throughts, feelings, and urges wihtout fighting against them. This is accomplished through discussions about the function of language and defusion exercises that show the client how to respond to thoughts about pulling less literally. Over the course of 10 weeks, clients learn to be aware of their pulling and warning signals, use self-management strategies for stopping and preventing pulling, stop fighting against their pulling-related urges and thoughts, and work towards increasing their quality of life. Self-monitoring and homework assignments keep clients motivated and engaged throughout.Designed to be used with older adolescents and adults, this innovative intervention has proven efficacy and is sure to be a powerful tool for the clinician who treats TTM.Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisIn 2002, the Tourette Syndrome Association formed the TS Behavioral Sciences Consortium (BSC). The charge of the BSC was to develop and test nonpharmacological treatment options for individuals, both children and adults with Tourette Syndrome. This manual is the result of their work, and represents the most scientifically effective behavioral treatment for Tourette Syndrome available today. The treatment program uses Habit Reversal Training (HRT) for children and adults with chronic tic disorder. Individual treatment is based at its core on awareness training, the development of a specific competing response for each tic, and the use of functionally-based strategies for the elimination of tic-exacerbating antecedent and consequent variables. In addition, individual treatment includes techniques designed to enhance patient compliance, including social support and an inconvenience review, as well as scheduled time for the therapist and client to discuss areas of functioning that individuals with TS may find difficult, such as social/familial difficulties and disruptive/anger/rage behavior. Each week, clients are given homework assignments, to be done 4-5 times per week, consisting of 20 to 30 minutes of awareness and competing response training to tics addressed in session. The client will be encouraged to keep tally marks to monitor tic behavior. Home-based monitoring and competing response training are reviewed at each session. All homework assignments will be available in the companion workbook.

Book SynopsisThe fifth edition of Mastery of Your Anxiety and Panic, Workbook, has been fully revised and updated to offer helpful, scientifically proven strategies and techniques for dealing with both panic disorder and agoraphobia. The program outlined is based on the principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and is organized by skill, with each chapter building on the one before it. The Workbook covers the importance of record-keeping and monitoring progress, as well as breathing techniques and thinking skills, with the main focus of the treatment involving the importance of learning how to face agoraphobic situations, and the often-frightening physical symptoms of panic, from an entirely new perspective. Self-assessment quizzes, homework exercises, and interactive forms allow clients to become active participants in their own treatment, and to learn to manage panic attacks, anxiety about panic, and avoidance of panic and agoraphobic situations.Trade ReviewI had the good fortune of being one of the first groups of therapists to receive training in the delivery of PCT from Drs. Barlow and Craske at The State University of New York at Albany. I used the first version and each of the editions in my private practice and published evidence of its effectiveness in a private practice setting. The fourth edition is currently used in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Michigan for training therapists and in our clinical work. This 5th edition contains all the state of the art and user-friendly format, but importantly, it now integrates an inhibitory learning focus to maximize the effectiveness of the exposure procedures. I enthusiastically welcome this new edition of this state-of-the-art treatment of panic disorder and agoraphobia. * Ricks Warren, PhD, ABPP, Clinical Professor, Department of Psychiatry, University of Michigan Medical School *This suite of therapist manuals and patient workbooks, focusing on cutting edge CBT treatment for panic disorder, remains a classic in the field. The authors are internationally renowned for their expertise in this area and have updated the text with new research, an enhanced emphasis on inhibitory learning to inform the process and conduct of exposure exercises, and new and improved case material. Starting with the previous version, the program pays more attention to variability in how fast or slow a client is able move through the treatment, improving the patient—treatment 'match'. The end result facilitates implementation for the user and is in a way like having a personal supervision experience with the authors. * Peter Roy-Byrne, MD, Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry, University of Washington School of Medicine *The Mastery of Your Anxiety and Panic volumes - the therapist guide and the workbooks for clients - are indisputably the finest evidence-based books for helping people overcome panic disorder. The workbooks for clients, including one suitable for primary care settings, are engaging, informative, and devoid of jargon, rendering them ideal for anyone struggling with panic attacks. * Richard J.

This book provides practical guidance and strategies for managing common therapy impasses and dilemmas, such as low client motivation, inflexible beliefs, and alliance ruptures. It is a clinically sophisticated guide that is grounded in empirical evidence and theoretical knowledge. * Steven C.

This book is particularly appealing, because of the number of clinical illustrations provided. These show in detail how Socratic dialogue can be developed so that it can both help the client and be adjusted to our personal style.

Book SynopsisAn explosion of interest in the applications of hypnosis for clinical problems, especially pain, has led to a wide accumulation of research on hypnosis as a viable, beneficial supplement to treatment protocols. Over the past two decades, published controlled trials have confirmed that hypnosis treatments are effective for reducing daily pain intensity, increasing activity level, and improving mood and sleep quality in individuals with chronic pain. Moreover, evidence also suggests that hypnotic procedures can increase the beneficial effects of other treatments, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Based on these findings, there is a lack of practical resources in the field that offer recommendations for incorporating hypnosis and hypnotic protocols into treatment for pain management. This therapist guide fills this gap by distilling the techniques empirically validated by these clinical trials into one comprehensive, user-friendly volume. Organized into three parts, Hypnosis for Chronic Pain Management summarizes the findings from research, examines the effects of hypnosis on pain, and provides step-by-step instructions for performing hypnotic inductions and making hypnotic suggestions. Designed to be used in conjunction with the corresponding patient workbook, this unique therapist guide is written for clinicians who treat patients with chronic pain and who wish to incorporate hypnosis and hypnotic procedures into their treatment protocols, or those clinicians who already have training in clinical hypnosis and hope to acquire the skills needed to apply it to pain management.An excellent blueprint to understanding pain and the fundamentals of how hypnosis combined with CBT can offer pain amelioration. Perfect, even for uninitiated practitioners who wish to use empirically based scripts.--Jeffrey Zeig, Ph.D., The Milton Erickson FoundationPain can too easily enslave people, holding them captive in many different ways. It is a liberating theme of empowerment that echoes throughout Dr. Jensen''s work: he empowers clinicians to work more knowledgeably and skillfully with people who suffer painful conditions using his therapist guide, and he encourages the suffering individual to break free from pain''s grip with the practical pain management skills taught in his workbook. Dr. Jensen''s vision for the many ways hypnosis can help reduce the debilitating effects of painful conditions is fresh, inspiring and should be regularly integrated into every pain management program.--Michael D. Yapko, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist and author of Trancework: An Introduction to the Practice of Clinical Hypnosis (Third Edition) and Treating Depression with HypnosisTrade ReviewReaders will come away with an overview of how to approach using hypnosis with those experiencing chronic pain and a good sense of both the issues involved in working with chronic pain and in using hypnosis. * Dr Angela Busuttil, The Journal of Critical Psychology, Counselling and Psychotherapy *Table of ContentsIntroduction ; Part I Understanding Pain ; Chapter 1: The Biological Basis of Pain ; Chapter 2: Psychological Factors that Influence Pain ; Part II Understanding Hypnosis ; Chapter 3: What is Hypnosis? ; Chapter 4: What Hypnosis can do for Pain ; Part III Using Hypnosis for Chronic Pain Management ; Chapter 5: Patient Assessment and Preparation ; Chapter 6: Hypnosis for Chronic Pain Management: The Basics ; Chapter 7: Hypnotic Inductions ; Chapter 8: Suggestions for Pain and Symptom Management ; Chapter 9: Suggestions for Thought and Mood Management ; Chapter 10: Suggestions for Behavior, Activity, and Sleep Management ; Chapter 11: End of the Session: Post-hypnotic Suggestions and Reorienting ; Chapter 12: Summary and Consolidation ; Pain Evaluation Form ; Appendix of Self-Report Measures Assessing Pain, Pain-Related Beliefs and Coping, and Clinical Success ; References ; About the Authors

Book SynopsisViolence is an epidemic that negatively impacts children across their lifespan. Reports indicate 2.1 million youth have experienced physical abuse during their lifetimes, disrupting the healthy development of children from the toddler years through adolescence, and most cases involve parents. Some parents lack the skills to effectively parent and use physical discipline as a strategy to control their children''s problem behaviors. They may use increasing force if children continue to be noncompliant, which places many children at-risk for harm.Combined Parent-Child Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CPC-CBT), created by Melissa K. Runyon and Esther Deblinger and outlined in this guide, provides an evidence-based intervention aimed at empowering families to develop optimistic outlooks on parenting and peaceful home environments, and to decrease stress experienced both by parents and children.

Book SynopsisCBT for Long-Term Conditions and Medically Unexplained Symptoms describes how cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) can be used to treat anxiety and depression with a co-morbid long-term physical health condition (LTC) or medically unexplained symptoms (MUS).The book teaches cognitive behavioural therapists and other clinicians to help patients deal with the psychological aspects of physical symptoms, whatever their cause. It is divided into three parts, beginning with core skills for working with people with LTC and MUS. This includes assessment, formulation and goal setting. Part II focuses on CBT for LTC and includes chapters on low intensity interventions, working with depression and anxiety using protocols, and a consideration of an identity and strengths-based approach to working with LTC. The final part provides details of a formulation driven approach to working with MUS, broken down into individual chapters on working with behaviouTrade Review'Philip and Helen have captured the essence of what it means to work with clients with physical health conditions using cognitive behavioural therapy principles. This book is both topical and comprehensive. You will become immersed in a wealth of knowledge with clinical examples, reminders and summaries of the key messages that we must never forget when engaging with this client group. I will certainly be referring to this book for years to come.'Chinea Eziefula, Clinical psychologist, Service lead for haematology psychology, Whittington Health; Lead, long-term health conditions, Camden iCope.'Having worked in the area for 20 years, it is encouraging to see a book that truly reflects the work with this patient group. I think it is a perfect introduction and essential reading for developing skills in working with this client group. The book is written in a clear way that skilfully simplifies adaptations to the basic CBT model for working with people who have long term conditions and / or medically unexplained symptoms. It provides some theoretical background but is largely focused on the CBT techniques in practice. I work largely with patients who have medically unexplained symptoms and really appreciate that this book emphasises the importance of an individualised formulation which informs the treatment approach rather than a standardised protocol approach.

Book SynopsisCognitive-behavioural therapies (CBTs) are foundational to sport psychology. The majority of the psychological techniques employed by sport psychologists in their work with athletes stem from CBTs. However, there is a knowledge gap concerning what CBTs are and how the different types of CBTs can be applied in sport. This knowledge gap is important to fill, because CBTs are highly effective and are easily integrated into the sport setting, and thus practitioners should be aware of, if not trained in, such approaches.Applying Cognitive Behavioural Therapeutic Approaches in Sport is the first dedicated volume to bring together the dominant cognitive-behavioural approaches to sport psychology. This book includes state-of-the-art evidence regarding the theory and practice of CBTs in sport, produced by academic and applied leaders in the area. Chapters include key historical and theoretical information about the CBTs and intricate details as to how a range of CBTs are applieTable of ContentsIntroduction: An introduction to applying cognitive behavioural therapeutic approaches in sport Martin J.

Book SynopsisTranscultural Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Anxiety and Depression is a practical and accessible guide, drawing on current research in CBT and clinical practice. It aims to support therapists in taking a reflective and evidence based approach to genuinely improving access and outcomes for Black and Minority Ethnic service users. It highlights the skills that clinicians need to undertake Culturally Adapted and Culturally Sensitive CBT and provides practical ideas and case examples that will enable therapists to feel confident in adapting models of assessment and treatment across cultures.The emphasis of this book is on practical clinical techniques and approaches but it is firmly grounded in the research literature on this topic. Therapists, supervisors and service leads will find useful ideas to support and enrich transcultural working and develop their confidence when applying evidence based interventions across cultures.Transcultural CogniTrade Review"Dr Beck’s masterful book on CBT brings therapy to life with multiple case examples. The book is timely, considering most societies are becoming more and more multicultural, and therefore therapists need to have a better understanding of their client’s cultural backgrounds. Dr Beck has done an excellent job of emphasising the complexity of working across cultures, while simplifying the process of delivering culturally responsive therapy. We know that both the populations in low and middle income countries and ethnic minority groups in high income countries have less access to psychological interventions; in my opinion Dr Beck’s book will make a significant contribution towards reducing the huge treatment gap. This is an important book for all who are involved in offering therapies across cultures." - Dr Nusrat Husain, Reader in Psychiatry, Lead Global Mental Health Institute of Brain, Behaviour & Mental Health, University of Manchester, Director Research Global Health, Manchester Academic Health Sciences Centre (MAHSC)"Central to the CBT model is a bringing together of relationship and structure. Without relationship, CBT works poorly. Similarly, CBT provides a model to help people work out why they feel as they do, and make changes that they wish to make. But classical CBT is western-developed and can exclude, rather than engage, those from other backgrounds and cultures. That's why I am so excited by this essential book. It provides a wealth of ideas, tools and approaches to build relationships, and culturally adapt the CBT model to engage people from diverse backgrounds. It makes essential reading for clinicians, supervisors and service managers wanting to include all members of the community in health care delivery." - Professor Chris Williams, University of Glasgow and President of the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies, lead author of www.livinglifetothefull.comTable of Contents1.
