Today the approach is successfully applied in the treatment of a broad range of psychological disorders, an evolution reflected in the myriad titles now available. Regardless of the disorder, all these applications are based on core, underlying principles, which are clearly articulated in this volume. Providing readers with a solid foundation for practice, <i>Cognitive Therapy: Basics and Beyond</i> delineates the fundamental building blocks of cognitive conceptualization and treatment.<br><br>Written in a clear, step-by-step style, this text helps therapists sharpen their conceptualization skills, plan more effective treatment, expand their repertoire of techniques, and trouble-shoot difficulties. Throughout the volume, the author offers clinical examples and transcripts drawn from one patient's treatment to illuminate the narrative and illustrate cognitive therapy in action.<br><br>Introductory chapters describe how to conceptualize clients according to the cognitive model, plan and conduct the first session, identify initial problems and goals, and structure therapy within and across sessions. Then the basic steps for conducting cognitive therapy are presented, with specific instruction on how to identify, evaluate, and respond to a client's automatic thoughts. Effective strategies for modifying underlying assumptions and core beliefs are also explicated.<br><br>Methods for increasing homework compliance, preparing for termination, and preventing relapse are laid out. Even experienced cognitive therapists will find new strategies and insights in chapters on planning treatment, diagnosing problems, using imagery, and bringing about behavioral change.<br><br>In addition to numerous practical suggestions, this volume features a variety of sample patient worksheets and appendices that detail resource materials and reading lists for both the practitioner and the client. A final chapter offers guidance in progressing as a cognitive therapist.<br><br>An important resource for any therapist's shelf, <i>Cognitive Therapy: Basics and Beyond</i> is necessary reading for the practitioner or student new to cognitive therapy who wants to learn about this tested approach, and for the clinician already practicing cognitive therapy who wants to learn the cutting-edge strategies of conceptualization and treatment. <br></div> 266867 19 5 1995 Cognitive Therapy: Basics and Beyond total:41|5:9|4:24|3:7|2:1|1:0| 41 164 67 2 4 0 false false Wed Oct 08 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 28 17:59:45 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 08 09:28:51 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sun Oct 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 01 15:50:26 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 18 11:32:22 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Nov 09 20:58:41 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 09 20:58:41 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Oct 30 11:31:54 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 30 11:31:54 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Oct 13 11:51:55 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 13 11:51:55 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 22 06:24:12 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 22 06:24:19 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Sep 02 11:32:06 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 02 11:32:06 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Aug 24 11:56:44 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 24 11:56:48 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Aug 18 12:50:38 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 18 12:50:38 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Aug 17 18:36:21 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 17 18:37:15 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Aug 01 21:39:30 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 01 21:39:41 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Jul 23 18:20:07 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 23 18:20:07 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Jul 17 06:20:36 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 30 07:02:17 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Jun 16 09:56:53 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 16 09:56:53 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jun 12 17:50:09 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 12 17:50:12 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jun 02 19:36:31 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 02 19:36:31 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat May 30 20:35:12 -0700 2009 Sat May 30 21:02:52 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon May 11 00:30:30 -0700 2009 Mon May 11 00:30:30 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Apr 25 19:13:47 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 25 19:13:47 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Apr 24 23:46:05 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 24 23:46:05 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=275204
