Review
"There are many wonderful aspects to this book that make it a compelling and absorbing read for any clinician who treats schizophrenia patients... The chapters are rich in the phenomenology of schizophrenia and ring true to the realities of clinical work with this population... Should be required reading for all clinicians who provide psychotherapy to individuals with schizophrenia." - Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease
"A cogent, approachable, and flexible model for psychotherapeutic engagement of persons suffering from serious psychotic illness... I urge you to please buy and read this book... You will find yourself able to approach a person with schizophrenia with confidence, and it will change how you think about your work." - Psychiatric Services
"Providing useful tools such as handouts to use in therapy as well as concisely described psychological theory, Cognitive Therapy of Schizophrenia is both practical and scientifically rigorous. Highlighting empirical support for their approach, the authors present clinically applicable concepts and provide readers with optimism about connecting with patients suffering from schizophrenia." - Journal of Clinical Psychiatry
Review
"For more than a decade, the work of Kingdon and Turkington has influenced my approach to treating schizophrenia--much to the benefit of my patients. Now, with this groundbreaking book, Kingdon and Turkington have outdone themselves. This timely, readable guide fills a real need for frontline clinicians. It provides tools for helping patients and their loved ones learn about their illness and manage it effectively, without having to feel hopeless or dehumanized as part of the process. Sure to be widely read and influential, this book should become a standard text for teaching clinicians how to engage and work with this challenging population."--Peter Weiden, MD, Department of Psychiatry, SUNY Downstate Medical Center, Brooklyn, NY
"An outstanding contribution. This book provides a cogent framework for understanding the experience of schizophrenia, engaging and working collaboratively with clients, and developing and implementing effective treatment plans. The book is replete with lively case vignettes, practical tips for clinicians, helpful handouts for clients, and useful scales for measuring outcomes. Kingdon and Turkington are to be congratulated for filling an important need for accessible guidelines for the cognitive-behavioral treatment of schizophrenia. I encourage all clinicians working with people with schizophrenia to buy this book, which will also serve as a graduate text for students learning about rehabilitation of severe mental illness."--Kim T.

Working well with schizophrenia.
7 Feb 2009
Format:Hardcover
I have been working with the chronic mentally ill for over 25 years. I was also utilizing my own form of cognitive therapy with schizophrenia prior to books like this one appearing. I would highly recommend this book to anyone working in the field. It is a practical and concise work to apply to one's therapy and dealings with such a serious cognitive disorder. The clinicians in England are making a difference in applying cognitive therapy or REBT with patients. It stands on all of our desks at the hospital.

Various symptoms and their therapeutic management are discussed in an effective way, simplifying the underlying concepts for practical implementation. The importance of an individualized approach to patients in therapy is highlighted with hope for understanding each individual's personal journey and experience of the psychotic symptoms and adjustment to it. An important reading for anyone working with individuals with schizophrenia.
