This book is a unique volume in which leading clinicians and researchers in the field of cognitive therapy for psychosis illustrate their individual approaches to the understanding of the difficulties faced by people with psychosis and how this informs intervention.
Chapters include therapies focused on schizophrenia and individual psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions (including paranoia). Beck's original case study of cognitive therapy for psychosis from 1952 is reprinted, accompanied by his 50-year retrospective analysis. Also outlined are treatments for:
• bipolar disorder • dual diagnosis • schema-focused approaches • early intervention to prevent psychosis • adherence to medication
This book will be useful to clinicians and researchers alike, and will be an invaluable resource to mental health practitioners working with individuals experiencing psychosis.

This review is from: A Casebook of Cognitive Therapy for Psychosis (Hardcover)

As a clinical psychologist in psychiatric setting, this book serves as a good case presentation in using CBT for psychotic problems. It gives the reader on various aspects and themes for different psychotic patients, and it reminds us of the complexity of the problem and the flexibility in applying CBT principles for psychosis.
