This text outlines the importance of biopsychosocial factors in
improving medical care, and illustrates evidence-based,
state-of-the-art interventions for patients with a variety of
medical conditions. Each chapter is focused on a particular health
concern or illness, which is described both in terms of prevalence
and frequent psychological and psychiatric comorbidities that may
present to clinicians working with these populations. Consistent
with evidence-based care, information on the efficacy of the
treatments being described is presented to support their continued
use. To accommodate the needs of clinicians, we describe population
specific approaches to treatment, including goal settings, modules
and skills as well as strategies to assess and monitor progress. To
facilitate learning, each chapter contains one or more case
examples that explicate the skills described to convey change
within a behavioral medicine protocol. Each chapter also includes
resources in the form of books and websites to gain additional
knowledge and detail as needed. Authors are experts in the field of
each chapter, ensuring that information presented is recent and of

LGBTQ individuals seek therapy at higher rates than the general
population, but the mental health profession has historically
lacked evidence-based guidance for supporting the unique presenting
concerns of LGBTQ clients. This book changes that by presenting
how-to guidance for delivering cognitive-behavioral therapy that
directly responds to the distinct stressors facing LGBTQ
individuals. LGBTQ-affirmative Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy is the
first mental health treatment designed by and for LGBTQ individuals
that has been tested in several randomized controlled trials with
diverse segments of the LGBTQ community. Results of these trials
show that this transdiagnostic treatment is associated with
reductions in depression, anxiety, substance use problems, and
psychological distress, making it suitable for a broad range of
presenting concerns. LGBTQ-affirmative Cognitive-Behavioral
Therapy: Therapist Guide teaches the principles and techniques that
mental health practitioners can use to affirmatively respond to the
distinct stressors that their LGBTQ clients often face. The book
follows a clear step-by-step approach with nine modules, each of
which teaches skills for enhancing LGBTQ clients' mental well-being
by undoing the deep impact that early and ongoing LGBTQ-related
stress can have on basic psychological processes. This Therapist
Guide is intended to be accompanied by the Client Workbook, which
contains accessible, step-by-step guidance and worksheets for
clients to follow when participating in this treatment. This guide
provides essential tools for helping therapists effectively and
affirmatively respond to the unique needs of their LGBTQ clients.

Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adulthood is a

Providing tools to enhance treatment of any clinical problem, this
book shows how integrating motivational interviewing (MI) and
cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can lead to better client
outcomes than using either approach on its own. The authors
demonstrate that MI strategies are ideally suited to boost client
motivation and strengthen the therapeutic relationship, whether
used as a pretreatment intervention or throughout the course of
CBT. User-friendly features include extensive sample dialogues,
learning exercises for practitioners, and 35 reproducible client
handouts. Purchasers get access to a Web page where they can
download and print the reproducible materials in a convenient 8
1/2" x 11" size. This book is in the Applications of Motivational
Interviewing series, edited by Stephen Rollnick, William R. Miller,
and Theresa B. Moyers.
Until recently, the literature on lesbian, gay, and bisexual mental
health and that on cognitive-behavioural therapies have followed
different trajectories. Clinical training has been similarly
divided, so that few clinicians develop expertise in both
LGB-affirmative psychotherapy and CBT. Filling a crucial gap, this
practical volume synthesizes knowledge from both fields into a
comprehensive framework for culturally-sensitive CBT practice with
LGB clients. Presented are powerful treatment approaches for
problems that are frequently encountered by gay and straight
clients alike, together with clear-cut guidance for helping
individuals and couples cope with the stresses of sexual minority
status. All therapists serving a diverse clientele will find
invaluable insights and tools in this accessible, up-to-date book.
Following an overview of the specific developmental needs of LGB
individuals, the book reviews the basics of cognitive-behavioural
assessment and treatment.; Chapters then describe evidence-based
applications for treating such challenges as depression, anxiety,
and couple distress, with particular attention to the ways clients'
experiences are shaped by membership in a stig
