Cognitive-behavioral therapy of psychoses: clinical cases. Kingdon David, Terkington Douglas

This book is written by practitioners with rich clinical experience (including in the field of cognitive-behavioral therapy). The authors brought vivid descriptions of the problems that arise in patients and psychiatrists, as well as examples of their solution using various methods. Although KPT is distinguished by a fundamental theoretical justification, the main attention in the book is paid to its practical use for the treatment of patients whose symptoms are constantly recognized by psychiatrists around the world. The book begins with a brief introduction into psychotherapeutic methods, followed by a series of clinical cases. It ends with a section on training issues, supervisions and the application of KPT methods. It will help practicing psychotherapists move from contemplating the achievements of the CPT to their implementation in their own practice. For teachers who teach psychological intervention at advanced training courses, specialists in the field of clinical psychology and psychiatry, this book will become an important source of information and exciting reading. Specialists working in organizations and services related to the protection of mental health will also find a lot of useful things in this book. In addition, it is of great interest for volunteers working in the field of mental health.
