Description
Using CBT in General Practice is a practical guide to applying cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) within a typical 10-minute consultation. Written in an interactive and user-friendly style, it provides realistic ways for GPs to help patients make positive changes to their lives.
The book features case examples, time management tips, and a new consultation model to implement CBT in general practice. It also offers detailed overviews of major clinical psychological conditions that can be treated using CBT, such as panic, low self-esteem, and insomnia.
Essential reading for all GPs who must now offer CBT as a treatment option, this book is also relevant to other professionals involved in managing patients with psychological problems, including practice nurses, health visitors, and community psychiatric nurses.
