Bringing together leading experts in the field, this book explores how cognitive therapy has become a treatment of choice not just for depression but for such diverse problems as eating disorders, health anxiety, OCD, panic, personality disorders, sexual problems, social phobia, and substance abuse. Theoretical and clinical issues that apply to particular populations, including children, adolescents, and the medically ill, are discussed in detail. In addition, important issues related to therapist competency, the therapeutic relationship, and empathy are systematically examined.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Fresh ideas [are] evident in this rich collection, edited by one of the leading contributors to the advance of cognitive-behavioral therapy. There are excellent and up-to-date chapters on a full range of psychological problems." --From the Foreword by S. Rachman, PhD

"A masterful compilation illustrating cognitive therapy's impact on psychiatry and clinical psychology. The widespread application of cognitive therapy across continents and syndromes is indicative of the wide dissemination of this particular treatment modality. The broad spectrum is reflected in the adaptations of this treatment that extend across the lifespan." --David J. Kupfer, MD

"Aaron T. Beck has laid the foundation for an empirical, testable form of psychotherapy which is destined to be practiced well into the next century. It is a form of therapy that can be applied to a wide range of problems....[This book presents] a stimulating and wide-ranging set of chapters from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean....It describes progress being made in cognitive psychotherapy across a wide range of problems seen in clinical work." --Sir David Goldberg, DM, FRCP
