Description:
Rooted in evidence-based practice, this book introduces an approach to CBT for depression that integrates cognitive-behavioural models and therapies. It draws on components of first, second and third-wave CBT to help readers tailor therapy to the needs of individual clients.
Brief description:
Peter Armstrong read Philosophy & English before training as a teacher and qualifying as a mental health nurse in the 1980s, then as a cognitive therapist, under Ivy Blackburn, in the early 1990s. He worked in in-patient psychiatry services, and the Newcastle CBT Centre as therapist, supervisor & teacher, finishing his NHS career as head of training there. He was an associate of the group that developed the revised cognitive therapy rating scale, CTSR, and with Mark Freeston and colleagues helped develop the Newcastle "Cakestand" model of clinical supervision as well as models of training and interpersonal processes in CBT. He is also a poet, publishing in magazines and anthologies since 1978 with five solo collections to his name.
Review Quotes: This book is useful for students and practitioners. Models of both CBT and depression are presented and explored. Aspects of depression are considered in some depth, and with reference to the working alliance. Information is clearly presented in the context of case examples; the references to literature are comprehensive.--Dr mary Glover (5/7/2019 12:00:00 AM)
