Originally published in 1988, this was the first textbook to review
and integrate the cognitive theories underlying the practice of
modern clinical psychology. Written in a clear and readable way, it
uses many clinical examples to relate the theories to what
therapists actually do. It describes the strengths and weaknesses
of the theories and develops a common framework drawn from research
in social and cognitive psychology to explain the mechanisms of
behavioural and cognitive therapy. Among the topics covered are the
validity of self-reports; experimental investigations of
nonconscious processes; cognitive theories of conditioning; the
relation between cognition and emotional disorders such as anxiety
and depression; self-esteem and the development of self-schema;
self-efficacy; explanation and causal attribution; personal values
and goals; self-regulation and the techniques of cognitive therapy.
This textbook is designed for advanced undergraduate and
postgraduate courses in clinical and abnormal psychology. Its
practical focus will also make it of particular interest to
practising clinical psychologists, psychiatrists and other mental
health professionals.
