  • Cognitive and Behavioral Theories in Clinical Practice

380 pages
2009
ISBN: 9781606233429

Demonstrating the importance of theory for effective clinical practice, this thought-provoking volume brings together leading experts on a range of contemporary cognitive and behavioural approaches. The contributors probe the philosophical and theoretical underpinnings of each model: its assumptions about normal psychological processes, the development and maintenance of psychopathology, and the mechanisms by which therapeutic changes take place. The historical antecedents of the theories are examined and studies that have tested them are reviewed. Vivid case studies show practitioners how theory informs clinical decision making and technique in each of the respective approaches.
