This volume contains examples of how cognitive therapists working in varied settings with groups of adult clients have applied the cognitive model in their domain. Cognitive therapy has much broader application than the traditional area of depression; contributors illustrate the way they work by using extended case material, readers will hear the voices of the clients and empathise with both client and therapist as they seek to build a collaborative relationship. Areas discussed range from drug abuse and eating disorders to obsessive behaviour. Any therapist, however experienced, will learn from `listening in' on the cases presented and students will find it essential reading.

'A clear, rigorous account of cognitive behavioural methods for treating depression.' - British Journal of PsychiatryThe use of behavioural and cognitive techniques for treating depression has yielded exciting results. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is as effective in the short term as anti-depressant drugs and has longer-lasting effects than medication. This book brings together assessment and treatment techniques of proven efficacy, describing them in usable detail and setting them in the context of current psychological theories of depression. It is an invaluable guide to practitioners wishing to make use of CBT.

This book responds to the explosion of interest in using the methods of experimental cognitive psychology to help understand emotional disorders, especially common anxiety and depressive disorders. It reviews recent research, focusing on how emotion affects the following: conscious and non-conscious processing, memory bias and memory deficits, attentional bias, schematic processing, judgements, thoughts and images. It also explores how irregularities in these processes can contribute to emotional disorders

Achtsamkeit ist das Bemühen, sich den Erfahrungen im Hier und Jetzt mit möglichst großer Bewusstheit und Offenheit zuzuwenden. Dieses ursprünglich aus dem Bereich östlicher Meditationsansätze stammende Prinzip wurde in den letzten Jahren vermehrt in die Behandlung von Depressionen und unterschiedlichen anderen psychischen und körperlichen Störungen integriert. Der Band gibt einen praxisorientierten Einblick in die Hintergründe und die Methoden achtsamkeitsbasierter therapeutischer Arbeit.Der Band stellt die Grundzüge achtsamkeitsbasierter Behandlungsverfahren wie Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) oder Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) sowie zentrale Modelle zur Wirkungsweise achtsamkeitsbasierter Verfahren dar. Weiterhin gibt er einen Überblick über wichtige Forschungsergebnisse zur Wirksamkeit von achtsamkeitsbasierten Verfahren. Neben der Anwendung in der Rückfallprophylaxe bei Depressionen wird auch auf die Integration von Achtsamkeit bei der Therapie anderer Störungsbilder und in unterschiedlichen therapeutischen Settings eingegangen. Der Schwerpunkt des Bandes liegt auf der konkreten Darstellung der Behandlungsmethoden. Dabei wird das Vorgehen bei einzelnen Achtsamkeitsübungen, wie z.B. beim Body-Scan oder bei der Sitzmeditation, beschrieben und der Umgang mit möglichen Schwierigkeiten thematisiert. Die Neuauflage referiert aktuelle Forschungsbefunde und stellt ausführlich die achtsamkeitsbasierte Arbeit im Einzelsetting vor. Zudem werden in der Neubearbeitung kritische Aspekte im Kontext von Achtsamkeit diskutiert, wie z.B. die Frage von "Nebenwirkungen" von Achtsamkeitsübungen oder das Problem einer "Kommerzialisierung" und "Verflachung" von Achtsamkeit.
