'This volume provides the most comprehensive presentationto date of the phenomenology, clinical aspects and cognitivetherapy of persistent depression. The text is highly readable,replete with illustrative case material, and highlighted by concisesummaries at the end of each chapter. The treatment approach,already validated in the famed Cambridge-Newcastle clinicaltrial, is an invaluable contribution.'
Aaron T. Beck, M.D.
Drawing on extensive clinical experience, Richard G. Moore andAnne Garland present a cognitive model of persistent depressionthat places particular importance on the role of thinking styles,underlying beliefs, subtle forms of avoidance and environmentalfactors.
For the practitioner, this book offers guidance on how toaddress particular issues that commonly arise at each stage oftherapy, such as:
* the patient is reluctant to engage in therapy
* the patient's negative thinking does not respond tostandard therapeutic techniques
* the patient's negative beliefs have much basis in theirexperience
* the therapist becomes demoralised by the apparent lack ofprogress in therapy
Through extensive clinical material, Cognitive Therapy forChronic and Persistent Depression demonstrates how entrenchednegative thinking patterns and ongoing avoidance can be addressedto achieve significant change in many people's lives.
This book is essential reading for any therapist working withthese hard to help patients, such as clinical psychologists,psychiatric nurses, psychiatrists, social workers andcounsellors.
