The second edition of the Handbook of Adult Clinical Psychology: An
Evidence Based Practice Approach like its predecessor provides
clinical psychologists in training with a comprehensive practice
handbook to help build the skills necessary to complete a clinical
placement in the field of adult mental health. While practical in
orientation, the book is based solidly on empirical
evidence.Building on the success of the previous edition this
handbook has been extensively revised in a number of ways.
Throughout the book, the text, references, and website addresses
and have been updated to reflect important developments since the
publication the first edition. Recent research findings on the
epidemiology, aetiology, course, outcome, assessment and treatment
of all psychological problems considered in this volume have been
incorporated into the text. Account has been taken of changes in
the diagnosis and classification of psychological problems
reflected in the DSM-5. Chapters on ADHD in adults, emotion focused
therapy, radically open dialectical behaviour therapy, and schema
therapy have been added. The book is divided into 6 sections:
Section 1 covers conceptual frameworks for practice (lifespan
development; classification and epidemiology; CBT, psychodynamic,
emotion focused, systemic and bio-medical models; and general
assessment procedures) Section 2 deals with mood problems
(depression, bipolar disorder, suicide risk, and anger management)
Section 3 focuses on anxiety problems (social phobia, generalized
anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder,
post-traumatic stress disorder and depersonalization disorder)
Section 4 deals with psychological problems linked to physical
health (health anxiety, somatization, chronic pain, adjustment to
cancer, and eating disorders) Section 5 focuses on other
significant psychological problems that come to the attention of
clinical psychologist in adult mental health services (ADHD in
adults, alcohol and other drug problems, psychosis, and
psychological problems in older adults) Section 6 contains chapters
on therapeutic approaches to psychological distress related to
complex childhood trauma (dialectical behaviour therapy for
borderline personality disorder, racially open dialectical
behaviour for over-controlled presentations, and schema therapy).
Each of the chapters on clinical problems explains how to assess
and treat the condition in an evidence-based way with reference to
case material. Interventions from cognitive-behavioural,
psychodynamic, interpersonal/systemic and biomedical approaches are
described, where there is evidence that they are effective for the
problem in question. Skill building exercises and further reading
for psychologists and patients are included at the end of each
chapter. This book is one of a set of three volumes which cover the
lion's share of the curriculum for clinical psychologists in
training in the UK and Ireland. The other two volumes are the
Handbook of Child and Adolescent Clinical Psychology, Third Edition
(by Alan Carr) and the Handbook of Intellectual Disability and
Clinical Psychology Practice, Second Edition edited by Alan Carr,
Christine Linehan, Gary O'Reilly, Patricia Noonan Walsh, & John
McEvoy).
