Product Description
Review
"The author has done the legwork for the reader. I know of no other source that presents so much so well."
-Richard Rabkin, M.D., Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, New York University School of Medicine
." . . well thought out, well composed, well written, and easily read. While it deals with a popular area--Cognitive Behavioral Therapy--the section on psychological models is interesting and not generally available. In addition, Williams deals with the basic details of how to employ the therapy with patients, and relates the theory to the therapy of depression. Cognitive therapists and theorists, both experienced and new, should constitute a significant audience."
-A. John Rush, M.D. Professor and Director of Clinical Services, Department of Psychiatry, The University of Texas
"Clinical psychological practice with depressed patients will be better for this book and it is likely to be exceptionally useful for psychologists at all levels who are concerned with depressed patients and the complex pathology they suffer."

Product Description
The use of behavioral and cognitive techniques for treating depression has yielded exciting results. Research studies throughout the world have found that Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is as effective in the short term as anti-depressant drugs and has longer-lasting effects than medication. "The Psychological Treatment of Depression" describes the wide range of cognitive behavioral techniques in great detail, enabling practitioners new to CBT to feel confident using them and those already using CBT to update their skills.
Since the publication of the first edition in 1984, which sold nearly 20,000 copies, extensive research has continued to be conducted on the outcome of cognitive therapy. In this second edition, the author discusses these recent advances and theories, and provides details of new techniques to use in an in-patient setting. He has also added an introductory chapter for readers who may be less familiar with issues relating to depression. Basic and clear, the text contains explicit case studies, sample dialogues, checklists, and other helpful aids. The book is a highly effective working manual--a field guide for all mental health practitioners in any discipline who want to incorporate the successful methods of CBT into their work with depressed patients.
