Cognitive-Behavior Therapy: Review of Psychiatry, Volume 23

In this compact, richly detailed volume, 13 distinguished contributors show how CBT's primary focus of identifying and changing maladaptive patterns of information processing and related behaviors is fully compatible with biological theories and treatments and can be combined with pharmacotherapy to optimize treatment results in clinical practice. In five chapters that illustrate the broadening reach and scope of CBT, these experts discuss:

  • Schizophrenia
  • Bipolar I disorder
  • Computer-assisted CBT
  • CBT for treating physical illnesses
  • CBT for children and adolescents

This exceptional volume enriches our understanding of the strengths of CBT and provides new opportunities for helping patients. As such, it will be welcomed by clinicians and students alike.

  • “Cognitive therapy has emerged as the premier school of psychotherapy because of its practical strategies, tremendous research support, and broad applicability. Dr. Wright has selected treatment problems that convincingly demonstrate the growing scope of CBT's effectiveness. Readers will garner simple, effective, research-based techniques for helping patients with schizophrenia, patients with bipolar disorder, children, and the medically ill, as well as a mind-expanding overview of the many possibilities of computer assisted psychotherapy.”— Bernard D. Beitman, M.D., Author, Learning Psychotherapy, Integrating Psychotherapy Pharmacotherapy; Editor, Self-Awareness Deficits in Psych Patients; Chair, Dept Psychiatry, Univ Missouri–Columbia
  • “This volume spells out in beautiful detail the latest advances in the application of cognitive-behavior therapy, ranging from the severe mental disorders, schizophrenia and bipolar I, to the recent approaches to people with physical illness and children and adolescents, as well as advances in the delivery of cognitive therapy by new technologies. This review, based on empirically supported treatments, is an essential guide for clinicians, instructors, and researchers.”— Aaron T. Beck, M.D., University Professor of Psychiatry, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
  • “In summary, this brief book brings new frontiers in cognitive behavior therapy to the practicing clinician and researcher. It deserves a wide readership among professionals of many disciplines, and it is highly suitable as a vehicle for training psychiatry residents and other mental health professionals.”— American Journal of Psychiatry, 8/1/2006
  • “Wright's volume is welcome for its emphasis on more complex and emergent applications of cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) than typically offered in review texts. Those already familiar with CBT will be intrigued to learn how well their skills transfer to applications with schizophrenia, bipolar I disorder, people with physical illnesses as well as with children and adolescents. Psychiatrists new to CBT will understand more clearly why this approach has gained so many followers and will be delighted to learn how computers can assist in the delivery of these services.”— Christine A. Padesky, Ph.D., Author of Mind Over Mood: Change How You Feel by Changing the Way You Think
  • “[Cognitive Behavior Therapy] provides an excellent overview of the broadening scope of CBT and highlights the inherent adaptability of CBT strategies to multiple types of psychiatric disorders. The volume presents a good combination of CBT theory, techniques, and review of research outcomes. Each chapter outlines key issues and technique modifications to consider with the respective disorders and client populations. The text will likely prompt interest in empirically supported approaches to treatment of severe psychopathology; CBT for medical patients, children, and adolescents; and novel formats of CBT application. The volume is easy to digest and will be an important contribution to the library of a range of clinicians with the interest in those areas, and CBT more broadly.”— The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, 8/1/2006
