High-Yield Cognitive-Behavior Therapy for Brief Sessions: An
Illustrated Guide breaks entirely new ground in explaining how to
weave together the powerful tools of CBT with pharmacotherapy in
sessions shorter than the traditional "50-minute hour." Written for
psychiatrists, therapists, and other clinicians, the book details
ways to enrich brief sessions with practical CBT interventions that
work to relieve symptoms and promote wellness.
An engaging and instructive resource of video illustrations
included with the book demonstrates how to successfully implement
brief CBT sessions for some of the most common and important
problems seen in clinical practice -- depression, anxiety,
psychotic symptoms, suicidality, sleep disturbances, substance
abuse, and coping with physical health issues. Written by
practicing clinicians with extensive experience in combining CBT
and pharmacotherapy, this volume builds on the constructs and
techniques described in the authors' earlier best-selling
illustrated guides, Learning Cognitive-Behavior Therapy and
Cognitive-Behavior Therapy for Severe Mental Illness. The authors
describe in detail the general features of CBT that can be applied
in less time than the 50-minute hour - The therapist and patient
function as an investigative team; the power of this collaborative
empiricism can be evident in even the shortest of clinical
encounters.- Clinicians teach patients how to rapidly set agendas,
focus on specific problems, pace sessions, and give and receive
feedback on progress; this structuring approach is especially
well-suited to brief sessions.- A basic tenet of CBT,
psychoeducation can effectively be delivered in sessions shorter
than 45-60 minutes and, in fact, may become a more dominant aspect
of treatment during briefer time frames.- Patients can learn
practical, high-yield methods for decreasing symptoms fairly
quickly, making these methods highly suitable for application in
shorter sessions.- Homework extends learning beyond the confines of
the session and encourages self-help in the treatment process,
effectively increasing the value of shortened clinician-patient
time.
When sessions are brief, clinicians must be able to generate
succinct and targeted formulations that include key pieces of
information that allow for full understanding of the patient, while
honing in on specific problems where positive results can be
collaboratively pursued. This book, with its video illustrations
and learning exercises, was designed to help readers achieve
incisive formulations while they sharpen their basic CBT techniques
and successfully apply this knowledge in the stimulating and
rewarding domain of brief sessions.
A must-read for working clinicians as well as trainees, this
book offers pragmatic solutions for the challenge of providing
effective psychotherapy in brief treatment sessions.
