Beskrivning
Cognitive-behavioural therapy has been successfully employed in the treatment of such problems as depression, panic disorder and phobias. Providing an approach to patients with the most intractable problems, this book details the practical application of cognitive-behavioural therapy to the pervasive disorder of schizophrenia. The techniques described in this book, drawn from relevant theory and research, are designed to complement other treatments for schizophrenia, including medication, rehabilitation and family therapies.; Making a clear distinction between the diagnosis of schizophrenia and the debilitating label of insanity, the authors contend that people with this disorder are not inherently irrational but instead suffer from a circumscribed set of irrational beliefs. The book presents easily learned techniques that professionals can employ to help patients alleviate the impact of these beliefs, and start drawing upon the strengths and rationality they possess to improve their daily lives.; Illustrated with numerous case examples, this book describes how to: work with the person to construct credible explanations of distressing and disabling symptoms; explore the personal significance of life events and circumstances and their interactions with the person's strengths and vulnerabilities; introduce reality testing for hallucinations and delusions; disentangle thought Disorder And Ameliorate Negative Symptoms; And Demystify Psychotic symptoms for individuals and their families. The book also delineates the relationship of thought, identity, insight and coping strategies to schizophrenia.; This text should be of interest to professionals working with people suffering from schizophrenia - from psychologists, psychiatrists and residential care workers to social workers, occupational therapists and nursing staff - as well as to students in these fields.

This book will give a 'shot in the arm' to clinicians interested in working with psychotic patients ... When I first started using and talking about cognitive therapy in the early 1960s, I thought that this therapy would be largely limited to patients with various neuroses, such as depression, anxiety disorder, phobias, and the like. When professionals at seminars and conferences asked me to state conditions for which cognitive therapy was not indicated, I would say `Schizophrenia'. It is a pleasant surprise now to see that I was wrong - cognitive therapy does have a direct application to this disorder ... It is my expectation that the present volume will make this approach available to a vast army of mental health workers who are struggling with the difficult problems of this disorder, and at the same time, will provide new hope for patients with schizophrenia. - From the Foreword by Aaron T. Beck...there are many useful ideas and comments which will stimulate the interests of clinicians in this area. Much of the work described would improve the quality of relationships with patients, even if systematic cognitive behavioural therapy is not attempted. For that reason I would recommend this book very highly to all professionals working with people with psychosis. - Psychological Medicine, 1995; Reviewed by Philippa GaretyThe authors have developed an important approach to the psychological and social treatment of people with schizophrenia. The book is extremely well written and draws impressively from a wide range of valuable data. - John S. StraussOur understanding of the biological basis of schizophrenic illnesses has expanded rapidly in recent years. Antipsychotic medications remain the mainstay of treatment, but many people suffering from schizophrenia can also benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy. Drs. Kingdon and Turkington provide an excellent review of the theoretical background of these treatments as well as useful illustrations of these techniques in operation. Cognitive-behavioral treatments have replaced the older, and largely invalid, psychoanalytical approaches to the psychological treatment of psychosis. The addition of these new psychological techniques to our improved pharmacological therapies provides considerable hope for the schizophrenia sufferer. - Robin M. Murray, M.D. D.Sc
