The book describes in detail a cognitive therapy that addresses distress associated not only with the meaning given to 'symptoms', but also schemata, the self, and how people relate to voices, paranoia, etc. A clear, practical and client-centred framework is provided for clinicians, which includes: the use of Mindfulness for people with psychosis 'two chair methods', developed by the author for working with psychosis a detailed look at the ABC model applied to psychosis guidelines for working with symptomatic beliefs a new perspective on the therapeutic relationship and collaboration a new approach to case formulation based in Vygotsky's concept of the Zone of Proximal Development guidelines on the use of group therapy for psychosis. "Person-Based Cognitive Therapy for Distressing Psychosis" is a practical and important resource for all academics and clinicians who work with people with psychosis, or have an interest in 'Third Wave' cognitive therapies. |
