Wills, F

Skills in cognitive behaviour therapy - 2nd ed. - Los Angeles SAGE 2014 - Skills in counselling & psychotherapy .

This book is a beginner's guide to the basic theory, skills and applications of cognitive-behavioural therapy. The second edition sets out the core concepts and generic skills of CBT, including case formulation; the therapeutic relationship; and cognitive, behavioural and physiological therapeutic strategies. Practical illustrations of how these techniques can be applied to the most common mental health problems ensure that theory translates into real-life practice. The new edition has been updated to include: a discussion of cultural diversity in greater depth; the current topicality of CBT, especially within the NHS; the latest Roth and Pilling CBT competencies; and the impact of third wave and other developments in CBT in more detail. As well as exploring depression, panic and agoraphobia, OCD and other anxiety disorders, the book considers CBT for less common disorders such as anger and eating disorders. Discussion of different methods of delivery includes work with individuals, groups, couples and families. This edition also includes new case study material and learning exercises.
