Description

"This volume shows how cognitive therapy not only constitutes an effective, coherent framework in itself, but also serves as an integrative paradigm for effective psychotherapy. Brad A. Alford and the father of cognitive therapy, Aaron T. Beck, present a comprehensive statement of cognitive theory and map the dynamic evolution of cognitive therapy into a multidimensional approach applicable to an impressive range of problems. Analyzing the current psychotherapy integration movement, the authors offer examples from theory and clinical practice to show how cognitive therapy, by incorporating interpersonal, behavioral, and psychodynamic techniques, fulfills the aims and criteria of psychotherapy integration." "Extending the boundaries of cognitive therapy and providing invaluable insight into its conceptual basis and application, this volume will be welcomed by researchers, students, and clinicians. It offers a coherent conceptual framework that enables practitioners to continue to employ many of their own favored techniques while tailoring their practice to meet managed care treatment requirements with an evidence-based approach. In addition, the volume may be used as a text in courses on cognitive therapy and psychotherapy."--BOOK JACKET.
