In the past decade, important progress has been made in understanding the spectrum of obsessive-compulsive disorders; however, most advances in treatment have been directed at the compulsive element of the behaviour. It is estimated that for as many as one in three patients presenting with obsessive-compulsive disorder, the primary problem is the obsessions. Obsessions are repetitive, unwanted thoughts, images or impulses. This book describes how to conduct the first, specific cognitive treatment for obsessions, and provides a comprehensive account of the underlying cognitive theory and supporting experimental evidence. The book discusses patient assessment procedures, provides a detailed explanation of the specific technique, anticipates possible patient reactions and suggests tactics for dealing with them, and explores methods for assessing progress. Throughout, there are helpful case studies to illustrate aspects of the technique and the book closes with a 'tool kit' of forms and charts to allow the therapist to plan and record treatment sessions. This will be essential reading for all members of the mental health team involved in applying cognitive therapies, as well as those in patient support organizations and academics interested in abnormal psychologies.

Exceptional therapist manual for the treatment of obsessions
7 juillet 2003
Par Un client
- Publié sur Amazon.com
Format:Broché
This outstanding treatment manual provides the experienced or training therapist with a 'cutting edge' theoretical and practical guide to the assessment and treatment of obsessions in OCD. This problem has been relatively neglected and had been difficult to treat, in part due to a lack of knowledge about scientifically based approaches to understading obsessions and also because of much misuse of the term "obsession" in common language. The book is rich with clinical examples of many different kinds of obsessions as well as many helpful tools, questionnaires, forms and techniques that even the most experienced therapists will find useful. Written by one of the world's recognized leaders in the research and treatment of OCD, the book is a must-have for any psychologist or psychiatrist interested in treating this difficult and challenging problem.

Great for patients and therapists

Format:Broché
I have now used this book extensively in my clinical work. Some people are able to use the book as a 'self-help' guide because it is so clearly written. For other people, I use it as a guide for treatment. It is simply the most up-to-date account of the treatment of obsessions available, written by the world's expert.

Editor's Discription Is Misleading

Format:Broché
I recently ordered this book to find out it focuses on "agressive, sexual and blasphemous" obsessions; other obsessions are neglected. People considering ordering this book should be aware of the book's limitations.
