Product Description
Review
It is a comprehensive book covering all major modalities of therapy in sufficient detail to be a reference in its own right. Its strength is that it is also broken down by condition and well-chosen linking themes. It is a huge field condensed extremely well and accurately and it is pitched well to be relevant to beginners, students, experienced therapists and researchers (BMA Medical Book Competition 2006 )
There is no other textbook of psychotherapy like this available. This is clearly a book that belongs to the library of all those interested in practicing psychotherapy, all trainees, and all training programs. This will be a major resource book and teaching text for all of them. ... this this is a major publishing event. So, 'buy' is the final recommendation. (Annals of Clinical Psychiatry )
The practitioner would have a hard time finding anything comparable to the breadth and depth of this excellent text. The quality of the references makes the book worthwhile for anyone interested in knowing more about current work improving psychotherapy. (Doody's Journal )

Product Description
With the publication of this book psychotherapy finally arrives at the mainstream of mental health practice. This volume is an essential companion for every practising psychiatrist, clinical psychologist, psychotherapy counsellor, mental health nurse, psychotherapist, and mental health practitioner. It is integrative in spirit, with chapters written by an international panel of experts who combine theory and research with practical treatment guidelines and illustrative case examples to produce an invaluable book. Part One gives a comprehensive account of all the major psychotherapeutic approaches. Parts Two and Three systematically describe psychotherapeutic approaches to the major psychiatric disorders and personality disorders. Many chapters are multi-authored and describe the psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural and other approaches for treating these illnesses. Part Four examines applications and modifications of psychotherapy across the lifecycle. Part Five describes psychotherapy with specific populations such as medical patients and those where gender is an issue, and finally Part Six tackles some of the special topics of concern to psychotherapists including ethics, legal issues, and psychotherapy and neuroscience. The first of its kind, this is a 'must have' volume for all trainee and practising psychological therapists, whatever their background - psychiatry, psychology, social work, or nursing.

What the hell were they thinking???
18 Dec 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The font size is a joke!? It's the smallest print letter I've ever seen! What's the point of editing an interesting and complete book, if the reader's gonna end up with a headache after 5 minutes of reading? If I had known, I'd definitely wouldn't have bought it.
