Command hallucinations are a particularly distressing and sometimes
dangerous type of hallucination about which relatively little is
known and for which no evidenced based treatment currently exists.
In A Casebook of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Command
Hallucinations the development of a new and innovative evidence
based cognitive therapy is presented in a practical format ideal
for the busy practitioner. This new approach is based on over a
decade's research on the role of voice hearers' beliefs about the
power and omnipotence of their voices and how this drives distress
and 'acting on' voices. The therapy protocol is presented in clear
steps from formulation to intervention. The body of the book
describes its application in eight cases illustrating the breadth
of its application, including 'complex' cases. The authors also
present their interpretation of what their findings tell us about
what works and doesn't work, and suggestions for future
developments. Subjects covered also include: understanding command
hallucinations a cognitive versus a quasi-neuroleptic approach to
CBT in psychosis does CBT for CH work? findings from a randomised
controlled trial. This book provides a fascinating and very
practical summary of the first intervention to have a major impact
on distress and on compliance with command hallucinations. It will
be of great interest to all mental health practitioners working
with people with psychosis in community and forensic settings.
