The Practice of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy

In this book the authors, both experienced clinicians and teachers, provide what they describe as a 'tool-kit' for the mangement of patients using behavioural and cognitive psychotherapy. They show how, properly applied, behavioural and cognitive psychotherapy can contribute to the treatment and rehabilitation of even severely incapacitated patients. The cases discussed range from obsessive compulsive disorders and anxiety states through to chronically disabled patients with schizophrenia or depression. A comprehensive glossary of terms used in behavioural and cognitive therapy is provided for newcomers to this field. This book will therefore be of value to all mental health professionals training in the use of behavioural and cognitive psychotherapy.Richard S.
