Product Description

Product Description
`As a lifelong disseminator of CBT I can not remember such a transformational book. I read it like a novel, cover to cover in 24 hours' - Amanda Cole, Consultant Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist

`This book is unique in presenting cognitive behaviour therapy in an accessible, contextualised way for mental health practitioners working in the NHS today. The authors have a great deal of experience of practising and teaching CBT and this richness is revealed in the many case examples throughout the text’ - Stirling Moorey, Head of Psychotherapy South London and Maudsley Trust

`This is a wonderful text - fresh, contemporary and practical, as well as subtly subversive! It manages to convey the essence of cognitive therapy in a clear, easy-to-read manner, while drawing the reader to re-consider some of the more questionable assumptions of mainstream approaches’ - James Bennett-Levy, Oxford Cognitive Therapy Centre

`At last, a text book about cognitive approaches to mental health that can be understood without the use of a dictionary or a scientific calculator. This book manages to bring to life both the theory of technique and the reality of practice. It is a "must have" book for anyone working in mental health’- Ron Coleman, Author, Trainer and Consultant, Fife, Scotland

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is becoming increasingly central to evidence-based mental health care and to the professional development of many mental health workers. Written to meet the needs of those acquiring knowledge and skills in this area, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy in Mental Health Care outlines the core principles involved in:

} building the therapeutic alliance

} case formulation

} and assessment and

} interventions

The authors emphasize the collaborative nature of CBT and its effectiveness in helping clients achieve both short-term goals, as well as more adaptive ways of thinking about themselves, others and the world over the longer term. Chapters cover the use of CBT in different settings and address a range of problems from personality disorders, depression and anxiety to the psychological problems associated with physical illness.

With case examples woven throughout, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in Mental Health Care is an ideal text for use in training and a useful source of reference for qualified practitioners working in a variety of mental health settings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cognitive Behavioural Therapy In Mental Health Care - Review, 17 Oct 2004
By Adrian Cockx (United kingdom) - See all my reviews
Since the birth of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) many texts have been written appealing to professionals working in the psychiatric and psychological services. These have often been conducted following extensive research combined with practical applications and attempt to address the differing diagnostic disorders found in psychiatry. However, since the evidence base for CBT has been firmly established and its practice widely used within the field of mental health, many texts have fallen short of appealing to a wide range of professionals working in the various environments found in the services.

What this book offers the reader is a refreshing digression from the usual nomothetic treatment manuals so often found in the field of CBT. The application of interventions for different disorders are illustrated in a manner that integrates theory and practice on a level the reader can easily identify with. The authors appear to empathically replace the jargonistic terms so often found in this field and utilise terms that relate to the individual's problem. This subsequently de-stigmatises the often-confusing diagnostic terminology found in the psychiatric and psychological services by focusing on language that relates to the problem rather than the disorder.

The forwards written by two eminent leaders in the field of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy both echo the growth of this effective psychological intervention for an increasing number of psychological problems. The authors who contributed to this book have not only focused on these psychological problems but have reflected on the context of differing environments found in the psychiatric services such as Assertive Outreach and the Forensic settings.

Finally the unique approach found in this text towards organisational, research and cultural factors relevant to the practice and implementation of CBT, are explored in a manner that is not afraid to tackle current dominant discourses that exist in these areas. This is further emphasised through the author's active encouragement of the reader to examine their own styles of practice and the environments in which they work, thus challenging the reader to look outside the box and improve their practice.

2.0 out of 5 stars Tries to be all things to all people, 7 Feb 2007
I'm an accredited CBT therapist and bought this book largely based on the five star review I read on Amazon.

All I can say is the book is a bit optimistic and tries to take an 'objective' view of CBT and its limits whilst at the same time appearing to do what the hard-sellers of CBT are doing.

CBT is on everyone's lips at the moment and, as a nurse CBT therapist (and a trained psychotherapist) myself, who has also worked in various mental health settings over the years, the book is a bit academic and not too informative. The hard-sell approach to CBT via the Layard report and NICE guidelines, like this book, neglects to really tackle those client's experiences that don't fit into the model of changing thoughts and behaviours. I'm the first to admit that what I offer clients won't touch the really deep stuff and I know a lot of clients can't stand the CBT model.

Whilst at the moment it's great for CBT business to have veryone clamouring for our services(I've never had so much work!) it's unfair on psychotherapists and CBT therapists to suggest that because CBT has produced fairly basic evidence (what this book claims to be "the gold standard"), that somehow it can deal with every diagnosis in every setting. It simply can't and should not be promoted in that way.

I'm sorry to be a damp-rag reviewer, but it's a lot of money for a pretty mediocre text. Sorry.

1.0 out of 5 stars disappointing, 19 Mar 2008
This is a disappointing read. I was especially disappointed by the level of understanding of recovery approaches and the expertise of people who use services and the chapter on assertive outreach. A better intro, despite it being older, is Hawton etal. I write this as BABCP accredited cognitive behaviour therapist.
