Cognitive-Behavior Therapy for Severe Mental Illness is a practical, "how to"
guide for using cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) to treat some of the most
common and difficult to treat psychiatric conditions. It is based on the
presentations the authors have given at courses and workshops, previous
writings on CBT, and the steady outpouring of research that has documented
favorable results when CBT is used in treatment of severe mental illness. By
showing CBT in action, in the accompanying DVD, the authors give readers
an inside picture of how CBT methods can be used to tackle challenging
clinical problems.
