Metacognitive therapy of anxiety and depression. Wells Adrian

The author of the book, Adrian Wells, gives answers to all questions about metacognitive therapy (MKT), the innovative form of cognitive-behavioral therapy with an extensive empirical evidence base. Dr. Wells explains that a significant part of psychological disorders arises as a result of a reaction to negative thoughts and beliefs (for example, rumination or anxiety), and not because of the content of these thoughts. The book presents practical techniques and specific protocols for working with metacognitive processes to achieve the effective treatment of generalized alarming disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and deep depression. A feature of the book is a list of visual methods of treatment, tools for evaluating and describing cases, as well as many illustrative examples.
