Cognitive schemas and core beliefs in psychological problems

the long version

"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).
