COGNITIVE THERAPY FOR CHALLENGING PROBLEMS
What To Do When the Basics Don't Work
Judith S. Beck
Guilford Press, 2005
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Readers will learn advanced techniques of cognitive therapy. Strategies are presented for solving problems in the fundamental elements of cognitive therapy: the therapeutic relationship, goal setting, structuring sessions, solving problems, cognitive and behavioral change, and homework.
This book provides a clear framework and step-by-step suggestions for identifying and overcoming therapeutic obstacles. Beck demonstrates how revisiting the case conceptualization can illuminate why progress may get derailed at any point, and how to get it back on track. The recommendations are applicable to a wide variety of difficult situations, but particular attention is given to the longstanding distorted beliefs and self-defeating coping strategies of personality disorders. A useful assessment tool, the Personality Belief Questionnaire is included.
Judith Beck, Ph.D., is the Director of the Beck Institute for Cognitive Therapy and Research and Clinical Associate Professor of Psychology in Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania. She is author of Cognitive Therapy: Basics and Beyond, coauthor of Cognitive Therapy of Personality Disorders, 2nd Ed., and coeditor of the Oxford Textbook of Psychotherapy.
