Bringing together a stellar array of contributors whose work has been directly influenced by Aaron T. Beck, this volume presents current advances in cognitive therapy science and practice. Described are new and effective ways of understanding and treating clients suffering from a wide range of affective, anxiety, and personality disorders. The status of basic cognitive therapy principles and models is discussed, and important theoretical and clinical refinements are elaborated. Other topics include innovative applications for children and adolescents, couples, and families, as well as progress that has been made in integrating cognitive therapy with other treatments, such as pharmacotherapy.
--- from the publisher Reviews: "Cognitive therapy is a blend of clinical art and clinical science. The breadth and depth of the field are captured in an excellent way in this volume. The book brings together the finest and most able in the field to present a comprehensive account of what is now the most important school of psychotherapy. Evidence, theory, and clinical reality are skillfully blended in a 'must read' for anyone who wishes to help people change. If you only have one book on cognitive therapy, this should be it!" -Paul Salkovskis, PhD, Institute of Psychiatry, Kings College London, University of London, UK
