This book presents a new approach to understanding the history and
practice of cognitive-behavior therapy by presenting country
profiles in 38 countries located around the world. The objectives
of this edited volume are to provide a broad understanding of the
practice of CBT internationally as well as country specific
practices that will provide researchers and practitioners with
important information for consideration in the application of CBT.
The book begins with an introductory chapter by the editors that
discusses the history of CBT and the efforts to globalize and
disseminate the science and practice of CBT as well as the unique
cultural and international variables. The subsequent chapters offer
detailed country profiles of the history and practice of CBT from
around the globe. More specifically, chapters will provide an
overview of the country, a history of psychotherapy in the country,
current regulations regarding psychotherapy provision, professional
and cognitive behavior therapy organizations, training
opportunities/programs in CBT, populations most frequently worked
with using CBT in the country, the use and adaptation of CBT, the
research on CBT in the country, and CBT with special populations
(children, immigrants, HIV+, etc). Many of the nations represented
are the most populous and influential ones in their respective
regions where CBT has been incorporated into psychotherapy training
and practice. Taken as a whole, the countries are quite diverse in
terms of sociocultural, economic, and political conditions and the
impact of these variables on the practice of CBT in the country
will be discussed. The final chapter of the volume offers a summary
of the patterns of practice, integrating the main findings and
challenges and discussing them within a global context. A
discussion of the vision for next steps in the globalization of CBT
concludes the book.
Deliberate practice exercises provide trainees and students an
opportunity to build competence essential rational emotive behavior
therapy (REBT) skills while developing their own personal
therapeutic style. These exercises present role-playing scenarios
in which two trainees act as a client and a clinician, switching
back and forth under the guidance of a supervisor. The clinician
improvises appropriate and authentic responses to client statements
organized into three difficulty levels—beginner, intermediate,
and advanced—that reflect common client questions and concerns.
Each of the first 12 exercises focuses on a single skill, such as
psychoeducation, assessing and disputing irrational beliefs,
helping clients differentiate maladaptive vs. adaptive behaviors
and emotions, teaching clients the ABC model, and developing
homework assignments. Two comprehensive exercises follow in which
trainees integrate these essential skills into a single REBT
session. Step-by-step instructions guide participants through the
exercises, identify criteria for mastering each skill, and explain
how to monitor and adjust difficulty. Guidelines to help trainers
and trainees get the most out of training are also provided.
Extensively updated to include clinical findings over the last two
decades, this third edition of A Practitioner's Guide to
Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy reviews the philosophy, theory,
and clinical practice of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT).
This model is based on the work of Albert Ellis, who had an
enormous influence on the field of psychotherapy over his 50 years
of practice and scholarly writing. Designed for both
therapists-in-training and seasoned professionals, this practical
treatment manual and guide introduces the basic principles of
rational-emotive behavior therapy, explains general therapeutic
strategies, and offers many illustrative dialogues between
therapist and patient. The volume breaks down each stage of therapy
to present the exact procedures and skills therapists need, and
numerous case studies illustrate how to use these skills. The
authors describe both technical and specific strategic
interventions, and they stress taking an integrative approach. The
importance of building a therapeutic alliance and the use of
cognitive, emotive, evocative, imaginal, and behavioral
interventions serves as the unifying theme of the approach.
Intervention models are presented for the treatment of anxiety,
depression, trauma, anger, personality disorders, and addictions.
Psychologists, clinical social workers, mental health counselors,
psychotherapists, and students and trainees in these areas will
find this book useful in learning to apply rational-emotive
behavior therapy in practice.
