The IAPT programme, initiated in 2008, offers both high-intensity
and low-intensity therapy. There are currently no self-help
materials catering for low-intensity patients. This is the first in
a new series of short self-help books for low intensity patients,
covering topics such as OCD; generalised anxiety; and panic and
agoraphobia. The government continues to invest in IAPT, with the
focus shifting towards having more low-intensity workers. Based
upon an evidence based cognitive behavioural therapy approach, this
book is written in a friendly, engaging (and jargon-free!) style
and encourages interactive reading through tables, illustrations
and worksheets. Real life case studies illustrate the use of each
intervention and demonstrate how a patient can work through an
issue.
How to Beat Panic Disorder One Step at a Time is specifically
addressed to low-intensity patients and follows an evidence-based
cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) approach. This book is the
perfect resource for helping you to beat panic attacks and panic
disorder, either by yourself or in conjunction with the support of
an IAPT service. Written in a friendly, engaging (and jargon-free!)
style, the book encourages interactive reading through tables,
illustrations and worksheets. Real-life case studies illustrate the
use of each intervention and demonstrate how you can work through
your condition. This book will help you to understand your panic
cycle, and to face your fears through gradual exposure. Paul
Farrand and Marie Chellingsworth have both worked at a national
level in the area of CBT self-help research and training, with past
involvement in organisations and programmes as diverse as the
Department of Health, British Psychological Society, Psychological
Wellbeing Practitioners and the British Association for Behavioural
and Cognitive Psychotherapies.

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.
