Description
Cognitive Therapy of Depression by Aaron T. Beck and colleagues is a comprehensive guide to treating depression using cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). This second edition has been significantly rewritten with 85% new material, reflecting the latest developments in theory and clinical practice. The book provides clear explanations of theoretical principles and links them to specific therapeutic strategies for identifying, examining, and changing thoughts, beliefs, and behaviours that contribute to depression. It also includes vignettes and sample dialogues to illustrate these techniques, as well as a chapter-length case example. New to this edition are schema-focused approaches and classic CBT interventions, incorporating data from basic research and clinical trials. This updated guide brings therapists up-to-date on the latest treatment options for more complicated presentations of depression, including chronic cases or underlying personality disorders. It also places greater emphasis on the therapeutic relationship and longer-term treatment.
