Invaluable In-Depth Guide for Clinicians
11 Aug 2007
Format:Paperback
This is an absolutely fantastic book about how to treat people with psychosis with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). It is geared toward clinicians, but unlike other respectable books in this area, it does not directly focus on research findings which can tend to dilute a book's practicality for clinicians (e.g., there are no in-text citations). However, the book is grounded in an intimate understanding of both research on patients with psychosis as well as the author's extensive experience working with them one-on-one. Since there are already good books on the former, I am especially thankful for the latter and find her clinical expertise to be extremely valuable. When you read this book you can tell that the author intimately understands the way these patients feel and think, in a very compassionate yet objective and intelligent way. This is an excellent manual for therapists who would like to use CBT with psychosis for the first time or for anyone who wants to brush up on these skills. Although it can not substitute for good clinical supervision, the book is extremely detailed and practical (in an "If A is the case, then do B; if it's C, then try D" type of way). Once you have read it, is hard to imagine that you will not find your patients in there along with specific advice on what to do in therapy. Although it is expensive, I have no doubt that therapists working with this challenging population will turn to this book frequently, because in my years of working with these patients, I have found no other book like it.
