Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Mild to Moderate Depression and
Anxiety provides information and support using evidence-based,
low-intensity psychological treatments involving cognitive
behavioural therapy (CBT) for mild to moderate mental illness. Its
main focus is on supporting the low-intensity worker (Psychological
Well-Being Practitioner) with patient self-management. The book
closely mirrors the key components of assessment, therapeutic
relationship, treatment of low mood, anxiety and panic, signposting
and basic psychopharmacology. Written in a step-by-step approach by
experienced CBT trainers, this book offers: a strong focus on the
process of assessment a breakdown of the important factors
necessary for an effective therapeutic relationship a clear 'how to
guide for the low intensity treatment of anxiety and depression an
emphasis on how to get the best out of supervision Designed as a
core text for modules 1 and 2 of the Postgraduate Certificate for
Low-intensity Therapy Workers (IAPT), this book is also suitable
for all undergraduate and postgraduate courses that require the
student to have a basic skill set for the treatment of low mood and
anxiety/panic, i.e. psychology, counselling, CBT, nursing and
social work. It is a useful practical companion to all who have an
interest in or work directly with clients who experience common
mental health problems. Colin Hughes is a BABCP accredited

All psychotherapists, whatever their psychological views, will find
much to stimulate their thinking in this book. Its depth and scope,
the variety of data explored, and the stark nature of the argument
will provoke both thought and emotion. This well-written book
provides coverage of a number of important issues and techniques
not commonly treated in a didactic manner and specifically not
covered in most introductory CBT textbooks. If you are in any way
concerned with the practical way to apply CBT for anxiety or
depression, you owe it to yourself to read this book. Dr Mamoun
Mobayed, Consultant Psychiatrist, Director of the Program
Department, Doha, Qatar Let me put this succinctly - the authors
have written a very helpful book. It is essential reading for
anyone who is involved in the delivery of low intensity CBT for
depression and anxiety. Depression and anxiety are unfortunately
rife within our society and cause significant suffering. Ultimately
mental health workers are engaged in addressing and ameliorating
that suffering; it is a hard job. This book goes a long way in
affording support to those workers through clearly outlining
cognitive and behavioural principles and techniques that are proven
to help with these types of presentations. Written by highly
experienced cognitive behaviour therapists and lecturers for people
who are providing low-intensity interventions, the book offers
step-by-explanations of evidenced and invaluable CBT approaches and
techniques. Although primarily written for people with limited
experience and training in CBT I believe all therapists and mental
health workers, whatever their level of experience or training,
will find much to inform and support them in this book.Karl Tooher,
Centre Director at Northside Counselling Service Herron, Hughes and
Younge have skillfully woven their passion for CBT and its ability
to transform lives with a common sense and useful guide. This book
combines principles, theory and practice in a thought provoking and
accessible way for any practitioner working with people
experiencing a mental health problem. Practitioners of all hues can
enhance their core skills in working with sufferers of anxiety and
depression. Lots of health professionals work with the aim of
aiding clients in recovery from common mental health problems,
however they can often find in real life situations that they have
insufficient skills to fully help in this task. This book can
provide health care workers of varying professional backgrounds
with a really useful road map to do this. The authors clearly
integrate their own clinical experiences with the evidence base in
an engaging way. Principles, theory and practical aspects of a CBT
approach are combined along with helpful suggestions for putting
these into practice and integrating these new skills with how
people already work. Everyone from GP's or Student nurses/AHP's to
experienced mental health workers will be able to glean useful gems
from this book, for example within the chapter on Assessment, the
methods described could be fruitful for anyone seeking to establish
a collaborative relationship and shared understanding of
difficulties. Catriona Kent, Nurse Consultant, Glasgow Institute of
Psychosocial Interventions
