This distinctive practical format is ideal in showing how to put the principles of CBT and stepped care into effect. As well as echoing postgraduate level training, it provides an insight into the experiences the trainee will encounter in real-world practice. Each chapter addresses a specific client condition and covers initial referral, presentation and assessment, case formulation, treatment interventions, evaluation of CBT strategies and discharge planning. Specific presenting problems covered include:
- First onset and chronic Depression
- Social Phobia
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
- Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
- Chronic Bulimia Nervosa and Anorexia nervosa
- Alcohol Addiction
- Personality Disorder
The book also includes practical learning exercises for the reader and clinical hints, as well as extensive reference to further CBT research, resources and reading. This timely text will be invaluable for trainees on Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) programmes, and anyone studying on postgraduate CBT courses.
Great resource for use in skills sessions. Provides more in-depth case studies that we can use across a number of courses.
This book helped my studetns explore real case and debate real solutions.
Excellent case studies for teaching, diverse range of clients and issues.
This is a good book for students to be aware of, when looking at the interventions for working with people with mental health problems.
This is an excellent text book, it gives a step by step guide for lecturers and students alike and is a must for every CBT practitioner.
Great text with well illustrated case examples for a range of different disorders.
As a lecturer I have found it's material useful in case discussions, formulations and role plays for students.
This is a good book. Being a researcher myself in the writings of case studies according to the CBT framework, I find this book essential for my students for they will be able to grasp not only the basics of how to write a CBT case study, but also to comprehend the elements which such research is constituted by
This is an excellent resource. Professor Thomas' in-depth knowledge of CBT enables him to present realistic case-studies. The introductory chapters provide a contemporary view of CBT before we are provided with detailed and varied case histories. I particularly liked the addition of a critique of each case study.
This book will be an ideal companion not only for students taking a particular CBT specialist module, but also to flesh out understanding of how CBT looks in practice for those with a more integrative perspective. I know of no other book which draws together case study material in such a way.
Case studies interesting and vaired with good worked illustrations from practice making CBT theory come alive. Used currently in preparation of teaching sessions and roleplay activities. Well liked by the student group as can be used in a practical way to demonstrate skills required to deliver interventions. A very useful book for teachers and students alike.
