This excellent book addresses an important new topic in a comprehensive manner...This is must reading for CBT practitioners. (Doody's Notes )
Product Description
Mental disorders such as depression and anxiety are increasingly common. Yet there are too few specialists to offer help to everyone, and negative attitudes to psychological problems and their treatment discourage people from seeking it. As a result, many people never receive help for these problems. The Oxford Guide to Low Intensity CBT Interventions marks a turning point in the delivery of psychological treatments for people with depression and anxiety. Until recently, the only form of psychological intervention available for patients with depression and anxiety was traditional one-to-one 60 minute session therapy - usually with private practitioners for those patients who could afford it. Now Low Intensity CBT Interventions are starting to revolutionize mental health care by providing cost effective psychological therapies which can reach the vast numbers of people with depression and anxiety who did not previously have access to effective psychological treatment. The Oxford Guide to Low Intensity CBT Interventions is the first book to provide a comprehensive guide to Low Intensity CBT interventions. It brings together researchers and clinicians from around the world who have led the way in developing evidence-based low intensity CBT treatments. It charts the plethora of new ways that evidence-based low intensity CBT can be delivered: for instance, guided self-help, groups, advice clinics, brief GP interventions, internet-based or book-based treatment and prevention programs, with supported provided by phone, email, internet, sms or face-to-face. These new treatments require new forms of service delivery, new ways of communicating, new forms of training and supervision, and the development of new workforces. They involve changing systems and routine practice, and adapting interventions to particular community contexts. The Oxford Guide to Low Intensity CBT Interventions is a state-of-the-art handbook, providing low intensity practitioners, supervisors, managers commissioners of services and politicians with a practical, easy-to-read guide - indispensible reading for those who wish to understand and anticipate future directions in health service provision and to broaden access to cost-effective evidence-based psychological therapies.

Format:Paperback
A comprehensive guide to support and develop the invaluable work of Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners (PWPs) and other staff delivering low intensity CBT interventions. This is a long-awaited resource which provides a thorough theoretical and empirical grounding to low intensity interventions, and offers clear and concise guidance around the practical aspects of delivery. This is an absolute essential for trainee and qualified PWPs, and for those who want to support and expand the delivery of low intensity interventions within services. I would particularly recommend this to staff working alongside those delivering low intensity interventions e.g. High Intensity Practitioners, counsellors, GPs, practice nurses, and health promotion specialists to help them gain a more thorough understanding of the role and potential of this mode of delivery. I am a Service Manager/Clinical Lead within IAPT, and believed I was fairly well versed in low intensity interventions. However, this guide has not only focussed and refined my undertsanding but opened my eyes to novel and more widespread potentials of low intensity CBT interventions which will no doubt be key to the future of developing services.

Format:Paperback
This new text is ground-breaking in providing a state-of-the art overview of the wide set of cognitive and behavioural interventions that they call "low intensity." The book will be instrumental in making these interventions accessible to many people and will be a resource to practitioners and trainers alike. The editors and contributors are the people working at the forefront of this field and their enthusiasm, knowledge and experience shines through. It has a diverse set of contributions but is nonetheless coherent and well organised.

It was good to have the book - I wish I had it last January before l started the course. It contains a lot of info for the PWP workers - currently l am on a course training to become a PWP eventually....
