This revised edition of Managing Hot Flushes and Night Sweats
offers up-to-date and evidence-based information about the
menopause and about hot flushes and night sweats, which are the
main reason that women seek medical help. The four-week self-help
guide uses cognitive behavioral therapy, providing information and
strategies for managing hot flushes and night sweats, as well as
stress and sleep. The guide is interactive with exercises and
homework tailored to women's individual circumstances and
lifestyles. It challenges myths about menopause and aging and
provides better understanding of flushes which in turn reduces
stress and improves post-menopausal well-being. The various
chapters discuss processes of identification and modification of
triggers of hot flushes and offers tips to women on dealing with
hot flushes in social and work situations. The guide can be as
effective as eight hours of group CBT and will help women who want
to try a non-medical treatment that is brief and effective without
side effects, or just want to be better informed.

worst! - Using interactive questions and tasks to help you

or 'on time' or a consequence of surgery or breast cancer treatment
- Enhancing your self-esteem through behaviour change and a
compassionate mindset - Helping partners and loved ones to support
you through the menopause Living Well Through the Menopause is

controlled trials of the MENOS CBT intervention with over 1000
women, that has demonstrated the effectiveness of this approach hot
flushes, night sweats, low mood, insomnia and their impact on daily

Following the success of Managing Hot Flushes and Night Sweats
which outlines a self-help, CBT-based programme for dealing with
menopausal symptoms, Myra Hunter and Melanie Smith have developed a
pioneering group treatment for women going through the menopause.
Managing Hot Flushes with Group Cognitive Behaviour Therapy is an
evidence-based manual drawing on their research which has
demonstrated, in randomised controlled trials, that group CBT
effectively reduces the impact of hot flushes and night sweats. The
treatment is effective for women going through a natural menopause
and for women who have menopausal symptoms following breast cancer
treatments and for other groups of women who have troublesome
symptoms. This manual provides health professionals with everything
they need to run groups to help women to manage hot flushes and
night sweats. Managing Hot Flushes with Group Cognitive Behaviour
Therapy equips health professionals with knowledge, skills and
materials to run groups to help women to manage menopausal symptoms
in 6 (or 4) weekly sessions without the need for medication. It is
easy to use with a companion audio exercise and
downloadable/photocopiable resources on line, as well as
power-point slides, homework sheets and diaries. Following Group
CBT women have the information, practical skills and strategies to
help them to cope with hot flushes and night sweats, and also
report improvements in sleep and quality of life. This manual will
be an essential resource for nurses, psychologists, counsellors,
psychological wellbeing practitioners and cognitive behaviour
therapists working in health care and voluntary settings.

CBT for Managing Non-cardiac Chest Pain is an evidence-based guide
and workbook for clinicians working with people with non-cardiac
chest pain (NCCP). NCCP affects around 25-30% of people in the UK,
USA, and Europe and is associated with high levels of health care
use and compromised quality of life. This is the first book to
describe a treatment programme to fill the gap in care for
patients. The authors have developed and researched a novel
approach that demonstrates how physiological, cognitive,
behavioural and social factors all contribute to the negative
experience of chest pain. With the help of exercises and
downloadable handouts for the patient, the book aims to provide the
necessary information and clinical skills and approaches for
clinicians to use in health care settings. CBT for Managing
Non-cardiac Chest Pain will appeal to anyone involved in the care
of patients with NCCP, including nurses; general practitioners;
cardiologists; acute medical physicians and psychologists.
