Cognitive Therapy in Groups

Guidelines and Resources for Practice

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This second edition of Cognitive Therapy in Groups has been completely rewritten as a 25-session, structured programme of cognitive therapy in five modules. It is designed in an easy-to-present psycho-educational format that is intended for groups, but can also be used with individuals. The programme is sufficiently flexible for clinicians to use and adapt the resources for their own practice, and sufficiently specific to be used verbatim with a wide range of people suffering from emotional and behavioural problems.

The comprehensive coverage includes: identifying and changing counterproductive surface thinking; uncovering deeper level counterproductive thinking; testing and changing thinking, including schema content change; and changing associated counterproductive behaviour. The book also contains OHT masters, worksheets and examples of completed worksheets. Purchase of the book will provide access to web-based supporting resources such as assessment tools, participant handouts and power-point presentations for each session, all ready to download and use.

Cognitive Therapy in Groups, Guidelines and Resources for Practice will be an invaluable resource for psychologists, social workers and mental health practitioners, as well as a useful reference for academics and advanced students who want a structured approach to teaching or learning cognitive therapy.
