Clinical Handbook of Psychological Disorders, Sixth Edition

"The sixth edition of Barlow's handbook is an essential resource for anyone wanting a deep dive into the latest developments in evidence-based practice for a wide variety of clinical concerns. Twenty-five years after formalizing the evidence-based practice movement within clinical psychology, Barlow has once again masterfully curated an up-to-date reference written by the field's leading clinical scientists. The sixth edition offers fresh insights, critical advances, and rich examples. Whether you are a graduate student, a clinical researcher, or a seasoned practitioner, this book should always be within arm's reach."--Bruce F. Chorpita, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of California, Los Angeles; President, PracticeWise "I have used this valuable text in my graduate classes since the first edition was published in 1985. Chapters present concise summaries of the theory and empirical evidence for the respective interventions, along with insightful explanations of how they are conducted. With the sixth edition, Barlow has again provided a rare gem that helps students and practicing clinicians understand how evidence-based treatments are actually implemented with clients. The book includes updated chapters on well-established approaches presented in previous editions, as well as more recent developments, such as process-based therapy and the transdiagnostic treatment of self-injurious thoughts and behaviors."--Leonard A. Doerfler, PhD, Professor and Director, Clinical Counseling Psychology Program, Assumption University "A marvelous presentation of the latest and most clinically applicable evidence-based practices, including cognitive, behavioral, and interpersonal approaches. Revised and new chapters are written by the best and brightest in the field, including many of those who developed the respective interventions. The sixth edition of the Handbook is suitable for both students in training and experienced practitioners who want to burnish their clinical skills. There is no better collection that highlights how the field developed, where it currently is, and where it is going to be in the future. I could not recommend it more strongly."--Steven D. Hollon, PhD, Gertrude Conaway Vanderbilt Professor of Psychology, Vanderbilt University "In its sixth edition, this handbook continues to be the single best teaching text on evidence-based practices in mental health. I use this book as a primary text and resource in my Advanced Clinical Practice class and my students rarely resell it--they take it with them when they graduate to save as a clinical reference. The chapter organization makes the book ideal for teaching beginning clinicians. Having a regularly revised text that navigates this increasingly sophisticated and complex terrain makes both the students and me feel like we have a partner in their learning."--Andr Ivanoff, PhD, Columbia University School of Social Work "Since its initial publication, this handbook has been the single most important volume on evidence-based psychotherapy. For the sixth edition, as in prior editions, Barlow has assembled eminent contributors who are expert practitioners of the therapies they discuss. Each chapter features a review of the evidential basis for the therapy, a description of its implementation, and a detailed clinical illustration. The authors skillfully demonstrate the flexible application of our most efficacious protocols as they merge clinical wisdom and the best psychological science. Essential reading for all mental health professionals, this is the ideal text for graduate psychotherapy courses, and the one we have always used in Harvard's clinical psychology program."--Richard J. McNally, PhD, Professor and Director of Clinical Training, Department of Psychology, Harvard University-This book is excellent. Written by well-known experts, it covers many different DSM-5 disorders and problems, pr
