Overcoming Obstacles in CBT
Acknowledging that people are more complex than just the presenting disorder, the authors consider questions around:
o Good practice in assessment and case formulation
o The challenge of diagnosis
o Key client issues, such as guilt and shame, perfectionism, and inability to tolerate storing feeling
o The therapeutic relationship
o Organisational factors.
This succinct and accessible guide throws a lifebelt to any CBT trainee or therapist struggling under the realities of today's psychotherapy and counselling practice, particularly within NHS settings.
'This practical book successfully highlights what I would consider to be among the most important and difficult issues that face practitioners post training today. I recommend this book highly to both trainees and experienced CBT Therapists as an invaluable clinical resource.' - Michael Worrell, Consultant Clinical Psychologist & Programme Director CBT Training Programmes, CNWL Foundation Trust and Royal Holloway University of London
I think this is a greatly reassuring book for new practitioners hitting walls as they develop in their practice.
Not often enough are obstacles in CBT given sufficient attention. A text that solely focuses on this is, I'm sure, very welcome to all CBT practitioners.
A good exploration of a range of processes that therapists often encounter but may not have been covered in their training.
Really like the approach which is grounded in practice-based knowledge of CBT. All the key issues around impasse are addressed usefully.
This book covers a series of critical issues in therapy which are often overlooked in other CBT texts. The authors present well-written chapters on a diverse set of problems that would create obstacles in therapy. These are accessible to the trainee, but also valuable to the more experienced therapist. I would recommend this book to anyone working with more challenging cases in primary care psychological therapy services.
Some very useful descriptions of how to help quire complex presentations. Useful for both intermediate and advanced practitioners.
Very welcome addition to the reading list. It confirms for students that practice very often does not fit the standard textbook descriptions and it gives them strategies to deal with these challenges.
A very useful text to think about the common obstacles in CBT and useful strategies to overcome these.
a very helpful textbook for students using Cbt in their clinical work. resistance and obstacles are effectilvely illustrated and dilscussed.
