The therapeutic relationship in CBT is often reduced to a cursory
description of establishing warmth, genuineness and empathy in
order to foster a collaborative relationship. This does not reflect
the different approaches needed to establish a therapeutic
partnership for the wide range of disorders and settings in which
CBT is applied. This book takes a client group and disorder
approach with chapters split into four sections: General issues in
the therapeutic relationship in CBT Therapeutic relationship issues
in specific disorders Working with specific client groups
Interpersonal considerations in particular delivery situations Each
chapter outlines key challenges therapists face in a specific
context, how to predict and prevent ruptures in the therapeutic
alliance and how to work with these ruptures when they occur. With
clinical vignettes, dialogue examples and 'tips for therapists'
this book is key reading for CBT therapists at all levels.

The business of cognitive therapy is to transform meanings. What
better way to achieve this than through a metaphor? Metaphors
straddle two different domains at once, providing a conceptual
bridge from a problematic interpretation to a fresh new perspective
that can cast one's experiences in a new light. Even the simplest
metaphor can be used again and again with different clients, yet
still achieve the desired effect. One such example is the 'broken
leg' metaphor for depression. Clients with depression are
understandably frustrated with their symptoms. They may often push
themselves to get better or tell themselves that they should be
better by now. As a therapist, it is fair to ask, would the client
be so harsh and demanding on herself after getting a broken leg? A
broken leg needs time to heal and you need to begin to walk on it
gradually as it builds up in strength. "You can't run before you
can walk," and if you try, you are likely to make it worse. For
many clients this simple metaphor is enlightening, changing their
view of their symptoms as a sign of their own laziness and
worthlessness, to a view of them as part of an understandable
illness, that while open to improvement, cannot get better over
night.
This book is the first to show just how metaphors can be used
productively in CBT as an integral part of the treatment. It
describes the use of metaphors for a wide range of problems,
including anxiety and depression, and provides countless examples
of metaphors that have been used by others in CBT. It brings
together in one place hundreds of metaphors that experienced
therapists have used to great success. It will be a valuable
sourcebook for all cognitive behaviour therapists, as well as those
training in CBT.
