Download or read book A Transdiagnostic Approach to CBT using Method of Levels Therapy written by Warren Mansell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-11-27 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is the treatment of choice for most mental health problems. Each different problem is usually treated by a different model of CBT. Yet evidence tells us that the same processes are responsible for long term distress in us all. This handy manual draws on evidence and theory to provide the key principles to aid change and recovery. The transdiagnostic approach is supported by a wealth of evidence that processes such as worry, emotion suppression, self-criticism and avoidance maintain distress across psychological disorders. Perceptual Control Theory (PCT) explains all of these processes as forms of ‘inflexible control’, and Method of Levels Therapy (MOL) helps people to let go of these habits. The principles and techniques of MOL are clearly and practically described for clinicians to offer a transdiagnostic CBT that is tailor-made to the goals of each client. This novel volume will be essential reading for novice and experienced CBT therapists, as well as counsellors and psychotherapists. Its accessible explanation of Perceptual Control Theory and its application to real world problems also makes a useful resource for undergraduates, graduates and researchers in psychology.

Download or read book Perceptual Control Theory written by William T. Powers and published by Living Control Systems Publ. This book was released on 2016-05-17 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These introductions and readings provide a comprehensive range of information for the study of Perceptual Control Theory—papers, books, book reviews, resources on-line, demos and tutorial programs for your computer. Perceptual Control Theory, PCT, results from one man's curiosity, expertise, creativity and determination. The articles, books, and tutorial programs introduced in this volume would not have been written, certainly not this way, if it were not for William T. (Bill) Powers's seminal insight and tireless efforts across more that sixty years. The PCT explanation for what behavior is, how it works and what it accomplishes is well documented. It lays a foundation for a new natural science and can handle behavioral phenomena within a single testable concept of how living systems work. You can demonstrate it yourself with functioning computer simulations. Whether you are interested in improving education, resolving chronic psychological stress, understanding what is going on with an inconsolable baby, understanding the basis for our universal sense of justice, getting a different take on what emotions are, resolving conflict in general, becoming a better parent, manager, sales person, friend or lover, you will find fascinating insight when you review these readings and study this new explanatory concept with care.
Download or read book Transdiagnostic Approaches in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy written by Ana Claudia Ornelas and published by Springer. This book was released on 2024-09-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will help cognitive behavioral psychotherapists adopt a transdiagnostic approach in their practice. In recent years, a new approach in psychotherapy has been arguing for a move from a focus on specific diagnoses to a transdiagnostic approach that targets psychological mechanisms and processes common to different mental health conditions in order to develop more personalized treatments. This book shows how to adopt a transdiagnostic approach using different third wave cognitive behavioral therapy protocols, such as: Functional Analytic Psychotherapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Trial-Based Cognitive Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Metacognitive Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, Process-Based Therapy and the Unified Protocol. “The mental health care field is undergoing rapid changes toward transdiagnostic and personalized methods. In line with this development is this superb text. In her book, Dr. Ana Ornelas developed an outstanding book that every student and professional clinician should read. It presents the main protocols of CBT in a single volume by conceptualizing the client in their uniqueness. I highly recommend this text”. - Prof. Dr. Stefan G. Hofmann, Alexander von Humboldt Professor of Clinical Psychology, University of Marburg, Germany. “Until recently cognitive behavioral therapy has been tailored for individual DSM disorders resulting in numerous treatment protocols. But advances in identifying mechanisms of action of these therapies has led to single interventions that are effective across broad classes of disorders such that they are called "transdiagnostic". In this groundbreaking book leading approaches qualifying as transdiagnostic are described and presented in a way that will be very useful to clinicians in their practice and in their training”. - Prof. Dr. David H. Barlow, Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry Emeritus, Boston University, USA. Founder of the Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders at Boston University. Some information in this book was originally written in Portuguese and translated into English with the help of artificial intelligence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered how learning happens?

Download or read book Principles Based Counselling and Psychotherapy written by Timothy A. Carey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-05 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many current approaches to the treatment of psychological problems focus on specific disorders and techniques that are purported to be effective and distinct. Recent advances in knowledge and theory, however, have called into question this approach. The conceptual framework of transdiagnostic, rather than disorder specific, processes is gaining traction. Alongside this has been the call to focus on evidence-based principles rather than evidence-based practices and techniques. The rationale behind this is that many apparently unique and innovative practices are usually the reflection of common underlying principles. This book describes three foundational principles that are key to understanding both the rise and the resolution of psychological distress. Principles-Based Counselling and Psychotherapy promotes a Method of Levels (MOL) approach to counselling and psychotherapy. Using clinical examples and vignettes to help practitioners implement a principles-based approach, this book describes three fundamental principles for effective therapeutic practice and their clinical implications. The first chapter of the book provides a rationale for the principles-based approach. The second chapter describes the three principles of control, conflict, and reorganisation and how they relate to each other from within a robust theory of physical and psychological functioning. The remainder of the book covers important aspects of psychological treatment such as the therapeutic relationship, appointment scheduling, and the change process from the application of these three principles. With important implications for all therapeutic approaches, Principles-Based Counselling and Psychotherapy will be an invaluable resource for psychotherapists, counsellors and clinical psychologists in practice and training. It provides clarity about their role, and a means for providing a resolution to psychological distress and improving the effectiveness of their practice.
Download or read book A Process Based Approach to CBT written by Michael Svitak and published by Hogrefe Publishing GmbH. This book was released on 2024-01-22 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a process-based approach to personalize CBT for better success Presents a unique dynamic approach to CBT Shows how to implement this approach Provides downloadable tools The process-based approach to cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a unique method for understanding psychological problems as complex networks of interacting processes. It allows therapists to grasp the individuality, complexity, and dynamics of psychological disorders – things that often get missed in diagnosis-oriented approaches. The authors, both experienced researchers and practitioners of this method, explore how understanding these complex networks enables therapists using CBT to focus on the core processes responsible for a person's suffering. First, the reader is shown how emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and somatic processes interact in maintaining maladaptive states and how this approach identifies the points at which therapeutic interventions can be applied to achieve maximum leverage. This is followed by guidance on implementing the approach in practice, including addressing diagnostic issues, to create an individual process-based model network for selecting the right evidence-based interventions. The process-based approach forms a connecting foundation that combines classical CBT with third-wave approaches (acceptance commitment therapy, schema therapy) and integrates helpful recent developments in psychotherapy research, such as evolutionary theories. Practitioners will find the downloadable tools in the appendix invaluable for their clinical practice. This book is of interest to clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, mental health practitioners, students, and trainees.

Download or read book CBT for Psychosis written by Caroline Cupitt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-07-03 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) for psychosis is constantly changing and evolving. Recently, in what is sometimes called the ‘third wave’, therapy has become more concerned with the individual’s relationship to their experience, rather than with the content of it. This more process–orientated approach appears to tap into universal psychological processes. The aim is to reduce distress by changing the function of the experience, rather than necessarily the experience itself. Written by some of the leading figures from around the world, CBT for Psychosis: Process-Orientated Therapies and the Third Wave brings the reader the latest developments in the field. Presented in three parts, CBT for Psychosis first explores theoretical perspectives on recent developments in cognitive behavioural therapies. Part two examines specific therapeutic approaches, including metacognitive training, mindfulness, acceptance and commitment therapy, compassion focused therapy and the method of levels. Finally, part three presents two critical perspectives: the first offering a reflection on the experience of receiving CBT, and the second looking ahead to possible future developments. Offering a cutting-edge collection of theoretical, therapeutic and critical perspectives, CBT for Psychosis: Process-Orientated Therapies and the Third Wave will be of great interest to clinical and counselling psychologists, both practising and in training, as well as psychiatrists, nurse therapists, occupational therapists and other healthcare professionals working with people experiencing psychosis.
