The book emphasises the collaborative relationship with the
patient, explaining the nature of the problem and working out a
treatment plan. At the end of each chapter there are useful lists
of references and recommended further reading, including leaflets
and other useful information for patients. There also many helpful
appendices on subjects such as self-help for anxiety, coping with
panic attacks, deep muscle relaxation, and Masters and Johnson
therapy. Not only does this book describe a form of therapy, but it
also enters the debate on the reorganisation of mental health
services, advocating A model where a clinical psychologist
practitioner is part of the primary health care team.' -
International Journal Of Psychiatry In Clinical Practice 'This is a
good resource book, giving information about materials ranging from
a CD-ROM on enuresis to contracts for British Airways
fear-of-flying courses. On balance, I would say buy it for all your
primary carers.' - Clinical Psychology Forum 'This is a very
readable and useful text... a wonderful introductory text for those
new to the technique, and offers a basic framework for practice and
source of reference for those specialising in other techniques.
There are many gems within the book, which is written by a GP and a
clinical psychologist... well structured, makes good use of
cross-referencing, and contains additional material in the
appendices. The book also includes a useful list of contact
addresses, suggested further reading and a comprehensive index.' -
Mental Health Care 'A well organised and coherent presentation of
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy applied in primary care...the authors
have managed to include anxiety, depression, habit and appetite, as
well as sexual and relationship problems. Each problem is
extensively explored with provision of examples of contracts and
clear stages of progression through treatment. A chapter also
covers problems of childhood and adolescence, which sensitively and
clearly explains approaches to bed-wetting, nightmares and
sleepwalking as well as tantrums and feeding difficulties.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is shown to provide clear and
positive guidelines for both parents and health workers. This is a
valuable book providing both extensive and consistent guidelines
for the primary care worker and other professional groups.' -
Psychotherapy and Counselling Despite increased recognition of the
importance of psychological factors in the treatment of physical
illness there have been surprisingly few practical guides published
on the subject of behavioural therapy in primary care. In 1986, in
response to this need, Richard France and Meredith Robson created a
practical manual for those with limited time at their disposal, who
still wish to use behavioural methods with their patients or
clients. Ten years on, 'Behaviour Therapy in Primary
Care'(originally published by Chapman and Hall) has become a well
established and highly thought of work within this field. In this
new and updated guide the authors have incorporated recent research
in the area of cognitive behaviour therapy, including: * advances
in the general field of cognitive behaviour therapy * fundamental
changes in certain established problem areas, such as sexual and
marital therapy * additional work in 'core' areas, such as anxiety
and depression * work in problem areas that have recently come to
the fore, such as post traumatic stress disorder, HIV and
stillbirth/abortion trauma. France and Robson explore a great
diversity of issues within this practical guide, creating a
reference work that will be indispensable to those needing a
comprehensive introduction to this developing field.
