A practical and accessible guide to overcoming depression and
anxiety with cognitive behavior therapy (CBT)
All of us feel anxious from time to time, but for some, chronic
depression can become unbearable and severely disrupt everyday
life. "The Mood Gym" is an interactive program designed for those
who would like to manage existing negative emotions and prevent
mental health problems in the future. Drawing on the latest
research and based on two proven techniques--Cognitive Behaviour
Therapy and Interpersonal Therapy--this unique guide will assess
your mood and anxiety levels through interactive quizzes; help you
to change unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior; offer proven
coping strategies to help you deal with depression and let you
enjoy your life once more; and outline complementary therapies,
such as relaxation and meditation, to assist you in your recovery.
"The Mood Gym" is a unique guide that will help you feel
better.
Mental disorders such as depression and anxiety are increasingly
common. Yet there are too few specialists to offer help to
everyone, and negative attitudes to psychological problems and
their treatment discourage people from seeking it. As a result,
many people never receive help for these problems.
The Oxford Guide to Low Intensity CBT Interventions marks a turning
point in the delivery of psychological treatments for people with
depression and anxiety. Until recently, the only form of
psychological intervention available for patients with depression
and anxiety was traditional one-to-one 60 minute session therapy -
usually with private practitioners for those patients who could
afford it. Now Low Intensity CBT Interventions are starting to
revolutionize mental health care by providing cost effective
psychological therapies which can reach the vast numbers of people
with depression and anxiety who did not previously have access to
effective psychological treatment.
The Oxford Guide to Low Intensity CBT Interventions is the first
book to provide a comprehensive guide to Low Intensity CBT
interventions. It brings together researchers and clinicians from
around the world who have led the way in developing evidence-based
low intensity CBT treatments. It charts the plethora of new ways
that evidence-based low intensity CBT can be delivered: for
instance, guided self-help, groups, advice clinics, brief GP
interventions, internet-based or book-based treatment and
prevention programs, with supported provided by phone, email,
internet, sms or face-to-face. These new treatments require new
forms of service delivery, new ways of communicating, new forms of
training and supervision, and the development of new workforces.
They involve changing systems and routine practice, and adapting
interventions to particular community contexts.
The Oxford Guide to Low Intensity CBT Interventions is a
state-of-the-art handbook, providing low intensity practitioners,
supervisors, managers commissioners of services and politicians
with a practical, easy-to-read guide - indispensible reading for
those who wish to understand and anticipate future directions in
health service provision and to broaden access to cost-effective
evidence-based psychological therapies.
