Devoted to providing readers with a state of the art guide to the
competencies required for the specialty practice of cognitive and
behavioural psychology, Specialty Competencies in Cognitive and
Behavioural Psychology describes and defines the foundational and
functional competencies that guide best practices in this
specialty. Influenced by a profession-wide recognition of the
unique and distinct nature among psychological specialty practice
as well as efforts to define professional competence, this book
illustrates how cognitive and behavioural psychologists actualize
each area of professional activity associated with the areas of
competence currently delineated by professional psychology through
national consensus working groups and conferences. Sections of this
book provide information for best practices designated under the
main areas of foundational and functional competencies, with each
chapter focused on a specific area of competence. These include
chapters focused on foundational knowledge that informs competent
cognitive and behavioural specialists, with regard to theory and
scientific research, ethical practice, and competence in individual
and multicultural diversity. Delineated functional areas of
competence include assessment methods, case formulation,
interventions, consultation, supervision, and teaching.
Professional competencies with regard to therapeutic and collegial
interpersonal interactions and identity as well as continuing
professional development are also addressed. This book will be an
important resource for all professional psychologists interested in
developing competencies in the cognitive behavioural psychology
specialty, and especially for current applicants seeking board
certification through the American Board of Cognitive and
Behavioural Psychology, a recognized specialty board of the
American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP). Series in

Arthur M. Nezu and Christine Maguth Nezu As the field of psychology
continues to grow and new specialty areas emerge and achieve
recognition, it has become increasingly important to define the
standards of professional specialty practice. Developed and
conceived in response to this need for practical guidelines, this
series presents methods, strategies, and techniques for conducting
day-to-day practice in any given psychology specialty. The topical
volumes address best practices across the functional and
foundational competencies that characterize the various psychology
specialties, including clinical psychology, cognitive and
behavioural psychology, school psychology, geropsychology, forensic
psychology, clinical neuropsychology, couples and family
psychology, and more. Functional competencies include common
practice activities like assessment and intervention, while
foundational competencies represent core knowledge areas such as
ethical and legal issues, cultural diversity, and professional
identification. In addition to describing these competencies, each
volume provides a definition, description, and development timeline
of a particular specialty, including its essential and
characteristic pattern of activities, as well as its distinctive
and unique features. Written by recognized experts in their
respective fields, volumes are comprehensive, up-to-date, and
accessible. These volumes offer invaluable guidance to not only
practicing mental health professionals, but those training for
specialty practice as well.
Depression in Context will appeal to professionals and students
alike. Neil Jacobson was a leader in developing and testing
treatments for depression. At the time of his death, in 1999, he
Christopher Martell, and Michael Addis had just begun work on this
book. In fact, they had spent several years discussing behavioral
approaches to treating depression and had been collaborating on one
of the largest clinical trials for depression comparing behavioral
activation to cognitive therapy and medication. Preliminary
findings from this study suggest that treating depression by
helping to activate people (behavioral action) is just as effective
as helping them to change their thinking (cognitive therapy).
Until recently, the literature on lesbian, gay, and bisexual mental
health and that on cognitive-behavioural therapies have followed
different trajectories. Clinical training has been similarly
divided, so that few clinicians develop expertise in both
LGB-affirmative psychotherapy and CBT. Filling a crucial gap, this
practical volume synthesizes knowledge from both fields into a
comprehensive framework for culturally-sensitive CBT practice with
LGB clients. Presented are powerful treatment approaches for
problems that are frequently encountered by gay and straight
clients alike, together with clear-cut guidance for helping
individuals and couples cope with the stresses of sexual minority
status. All therapists serving a diverse clientele will find
invaluable insights and tools in this accessible, up-to-date book.
Following an overview of the specific developmental needs of LGB
individuals, the book reviews the basics of cognitive-behavioural
assessment and treatment.; Chapters then describe evidence-based
applications for treating such challenges as depression, anxiety,
and couple distress, with particular attention to the ways clients'
experiences are shaped by membership in a stig
