Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Explained

This practical, introductory guide explains the cognitive behavioural approach and its many uses across a wide range of health and social care environments. With a focus on salient topics often found in the Membership of the Royal College of Psychiatrists Examination (MRCPsych), this guide is ideal for study and revision. Practical examples bring the subject to life, and key points are summarised at the conclusion of each chapter. The comprehensive approach is invaluable to postgraduate trainees in psychiatry and psychology, Senior House Officers and candidates for the MRCPsych examination. Psychiatric nurses and general practitioners with an interest in cognitive behavioural therapy will also find the guide enlightening. It will also be of great interest to undergraduate students of medicine and nursing, and psychologists, counsellors and therapists.
