Hannah T. Boettcher – författare

Upplever du starka, obehagliga känslor som hindrar dig från att leva så som du vill? Ångest, rädsla och nedstämdhet förekommer ofta tillsammans och kan begränsa din tillvaro. Forskning visar att behandlingsprogrammet i den här boken, Unified protocol, kan hjälpa dig oavsett om du lider av depression, något ångestsyndrom – eller av flera problem samtidigt.

Behandlingen bygger på kognitiv beteendeterapi, där du aktivt tränar för att utveckla nya färdigheter. Steg för steg vägleds du till att bättre förstå dina känsloupplevelser, vad som förvärrar dina symtom – och framför allt vad du kan göra för att börja må bättre. Rikligt med fallbeskrivningar, dialoger och exempel visar hur behandlingen går till.

Du använder boken i samarbete med en terapeut.

Många psykiatriska diagnoser överlappar varandra vad gäller uppkomst samt sårbarhets- och vidmakthållandefaktorer. Unified protocol är en banbrytande behandling med KBT som utgår från det som är gemensamt för olika tillstånd, istället för det diagnosspecifika.

Behandlingsprogrammet har gott stöd för de flesta ångestsyndrom och för depression, liksom vid andra tillstånd där problem med känsloreglering är centralt. En stor fördel är att programmet kan användas oavsett om klienten lider av en eller flera diagnoser. Boken ger lättfattlig och detaljerad information om hur varje session ska genomföras.

Denna terapeutmanual riktar sig till kliniker med utbildning i KBT samt till studerande. Manualen ska användas ihop med Unified protocol – Arbetsbok, som innehåller psykoedukation, övningar och hemuppgifter.

Contemporary research on major emotional disorders emphasizes their commonalities rather than their differences. This research continues to lend support for a unified transdiagnostic approach to treatment of these disorders that considers their commonalities and is applicable to a range of emotional problems.Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders provides an alternative to disorder-specific treatments of various emotional disorders, designed to be applicable to the wide range of anxiety and other disorders with strong emotional components. The Therapist Guide and accompanying client Workbook present an eight-module therapy program that puts substantial emphasis on emotion-focused approaches, helping clients confront and experience challenging emotions while teaching them how to regulate those emotions. Expanded considerably in this second edition, the volume provides guidance on using the Unified Protocol (UP) to address problems not only with anxiety, but also with depression, eating disorders, non-suicidal self-injury, substance use, and anger. Treatment procedures have been further elucidated and more guidance is provided to practitioners on how to present key treatment concepts. Chapters brand new to this updated edition introduce functional assessment and describe how to provide the UP in a group format, while patient materials have been revised, streamlined, and made more user-friendly.

Leading therapists and researchers have come to understand that many psychological disorders share common features and respond to common therapeutic treatments. This deepened understanding of the nature of psychological disorders, their causes, and their symptoms has led to the development of new, comprehensive treatment programs that are effective for whole classes of disorders. Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders is one such program.Designed for individuals suffering from emotional disorders, including panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and depression, this program focuses on helping you to better understand your emotions and identify what you're doing in your responses to them that may be making things worse. Throughout the course of treatment you will learn different strategies and techniques for managing your emotional experiences and the symptoms of your disorder. You will learn how to monitor your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors; confront uncomfortable emotions; and learn more effective ways of coping with your experiences. By proactively practicing the skills presented in this book-and completing the exercises, homework assignments and self-assessment quizzes provided in each chapter, you will address your problems in a comprehensive and effective way so you can regulate your emotional experiences and return to living a happy and functional life.

Esta segunda edición, revisada y ampliada, del "Protocolo Unificado para el tratamiento transdiagnóstico de los trastornos emocionales" (Manual del terapeuta y Manual del paciente) ha sido diseñada y desarrollada a partir de los últimos avances en programas de tratamiento basados en la evidencia, asentados en las investigaciones más actuales y en la evaluación terapéutica controlada con el mayor rigor clínico. Estos dos manuales ofrecen un completo programa diagnóstico para el terapeuta y para el paciente diseñado para abordar «trastornos emocionales» estrechamente relacionados, con la ansiedad y el estado de ánimo, como el trastorno de pánico, el trastorno de ansiedad social, el trastorno de ansiedad generalizada, el trastorno de estrés postraumático, el trastorno obsesivo-compulsivo, el trastorno depresivo mayor y la distimia. En esta segunda edición se han separado los dos manuales que en la primera edición se publicaron unidos: Manual del terapeuta y Manual del paciente. De esta manera, el paciente no ve contaminada su labor con explicaciones teóricas que pueden entorpecer la evolución de su tratamiento. Ambos manuales forman un bloque compacto y armónico. A través de ejercicios de reflexión, tareas para casa y autorregistros, el MANUAL DEL PACIENTE plantea un itinerario metódico a través de ocho módulos que guían al paciente hacia el objetivo de construir progresivamente una relación sana con sus emociones. Por su parte, el MANUAL DEL TERAPEUTA ofrece un completo conjunto de recursos a los profesionales de la salud mental ligados a cada una de las etapas planteadas al paciente del protocolo unificado. Tanto el terapeuta como el paciente pueden descargarse todos los materiales asociados al Protocolo Unificado desde la página web de Alianza Editorial: Hojas de registro. Esquemas. Tablas valorativas.
