Most clinical psychologists and cognitive behaviour therapists
adopt a perspective which assumes that a client's distress arises
from inaccurate perceptions of the external world and that these
perceptions are due to the problematic filtering of information
about the external world through internal perceptual biases and
schemas. A Constructionist Clinical Psychology for Cognitive
Behavioural Therapy provides a timely and innovative critique of
the dominant trends in CBT theory and practice. It applies a
constructionist framework to treatment and offers a constructionist
philosophy and methodology to complement existing clinical
approaches in cognitive behaviour therapy. Kieron O'Connor presents
a much needed alternative constructionist framework (addressing
both individual and social constructionist ideas) which is laid out
in a clear fashion for the clinician. He shows how the framework
can be integrated into practice and offers an alternative to
viewing psychopathology as an isolated problem which focuses on
pathology as a response to internal or external events. He reveals
how the new constructionist framework can encourage clinicians to
look at the client centred context which creates psychopathology
and explore areas and experiences not easily accessible to
traditional cognitive behaviour approaches, but which are rendered
understandable through a constructionist approach to experience.
Using extensive case studies, A Constructionist Clinical Psychology
for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy provides a constructionist
framework approach which complements existing CBT approaches and
shines new light on questions as to why some techniques work and
others do not. With new tools for case formulation and evaluation,
and trainee exercises for beginners, the book will appeal to
clinical psychologists, clinical researchers, psychotherapists and
other health and mental health professionals
