Updated for the first time since 1993-and still the only
comprehensive clinical guide to supportive psychotherapy-this new
edition of Clinical Manual of Supportive Psychotherapy features
updated and new chapters, vignettes, tables, and resources that
reflect current best practices. Where once it was reserved for use
with severely impaired patients, supportive therapy has come to be
recognized as the treatment of choice for many patients, and
supportive techniques underpin a great many other psychotherapies.
As a result, the academic literature, both on specific populations
and on technical issues, has mushroomed. In this manual, the
authors-all of them practicing mental health clinicians-distill the
most relevant information that nonpsychiatric physicians,
psychiatric residents, and experienced psychiatrists and
psychotherapists need to fully understand this specific modality.
The volume introduces, in Part I, readers to the history and
evolution of the use of supportive therapy, examining both its
principles and its techniques. It then applies, in Part II, the
approach to a range of disorders, including schizophrenia and
hallucinations, mood disorders, personality disorders, and-new to
this edition-anxiety and co-occurring disorders. Part III covers
interactions and special settings, discussing applying supportive
techniques with medically ill patients and older patients,
including tackling issues such as social and financial barriers to
seeking treatment in the case of the latter. Also included in this
part are new chapters on interactions and special settings,
including practicing in detention and correctional centers and the
special needs of therapists in public institutions, and updated
chapters on community and family involvement and medication
adherence and therapy interactions. A discussion of
ethics-augmented with guidance on cultural and religious
sensitivity-completes this most comprehensive of guides.
