Cognitive schemas and core beliefs in psychological problems

"The contributors to this book thoroughly evaluate cognitive schemas and core beliefs as they apply to the research and treatment of a variety of clinical problems, including both major and chronic depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, substance use disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, eating disorders, and dissatisfaction in intimate relationships. Authors discuss basic research on core belief and schema-focused approaches for clinical intervention, with an emphasis on case formulation sheets, therapy worksheets, and case studies. The focus on cognitive schemas reflects several trends in cognitive-behavioral therapy, including an increased emphasis on personality and personality disorders, a greater focus on both chronic forms and antecedents of psychopathology as well as the recent move to integrate cognitive-behavioral therapy with self psychology and psychodynamic theory. This book will be a provocative resource for the larger scientist-practitioner mental health community"--Jacket. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2007 APA, all rights reserved).
