The purpose of this book is to introduce clinical psychologists,
other mental health practitioners, and researchers to the
neurocognitive approach to assessing and treating psychiatric
disorders. It will provide a basic introduction to the research
that integrates conventional clinical diagnostic methods with
neuropsychological testing, cognitive assessment strategies,
functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI),
electroencephalography (EEG), and other psychophysiological models.
Readers will learn how these measures can be used to elucidate
target domains of dysfunction that extend beyond the framework
provided by the DSM and inform the optimal treatment of psychiatric
disorders. The beginning chapters will discuss the history,
emergence, and priorities of the neurocognitive approach and
explain the basic principles and limitations of brain- and
body-based assessment tools. Subsequent chapters will address
individual psychiatric disorders in this neurocognitive context and
follow a standard format: a thorough description of the clinical
problem; a review of the most recent literature; a discussion of
how the neurocognitive approach advances our understanding of the
disorder; and conclusions for future research and practice.

Grounded in current knowledge about bipolar disorder and its
treatment, this book presents an empirically supported therapy
program with step-by-step guidelines for implementation.
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) for bipolar disorder is
specifically designed for clients who have experienced many mood
episodes and who struggle with chronic, pervasive depressive and
residual manic symptoms. The authors provide everything needed to
conduct the 12 weekly group sessions, which are supplemented by
regular individual sessions. Reproducible tools include 29 client
handouts and an Instructor Checklist. Purchasers get access to a
companion website featuring downloadable audio recordings of the
guided mindfulness practices (meditations and mindful movement),
plus the reproducible materials, ready to download and print in a
convenient 8 1/2 x 11 size. A separate website for use by clients
features the audio recordings only.
Tourette syndrome (TS) is a chronic, neurobehavioral disorder of
childhood that has traditionally been treated with medication.
Although available, many mental health professionals are not
familiar with an effective behavioral therapy for tic disorders.
This therapist guide outlines a safe and scientifically proven
treatment that can help sufferers of TS and other tic disorders
effectively manage their tics and improve their quality of life.
The treatment described is an 11-session package for children and
adults (ages 9 and older). Psychoeducation about tic disorders is
blended with multiple components of behavior therapy, including
habit reversal training (HRT), relaxation training, and
function-based treatments. The primary goal of this program is to
teach the patient effective tic management skills rather than to
cure the tic disorder.
At the start of the program, you will work with your patient to
create a hierarchy of tics to be addressed in treatment. Each week,
a new tic will be targeted and an appropriate function-based
intervention implemented. Tic management skills are supplemented
with relaxed breathing and progressive muscle relaxation exercises
to help the patient combat anxiety. Relapse prevention and booster
sessions help reinforce the skills taught in therapy and give the
patient a positive outlook for the future.
Complete with step-by-step instructions for conducting sessions, as
well as lists of materials needed and copies of necessary forms,
this guide provides you with all the information you need to
effectively administer treatment.

If your child has Tourette Syndrome (TS), or any other chronic
motor or vocal tic disorder, you know how important it is to get
the best treatment available. Behavior therapy, as described in
this workbook, is a treatment for tic disorders that is
scientifically proven to help sufferers of TS manage their
symptoms.
This 11-session program involves helping your child become aware of
his tics and the situations that make them worse. In conjunction
with visits to a qualified mental health professional, your family
will learn to restructure your child's environment so tics occur
less frequently. With your help, your child will create a list of
tics to be addressed during treatment. Each week a new tic will be
targeted and your child will be taught specific exercises for
managing that tic. The program also includes relaxation techniques
designed to help your child combat anxiety and stress. Relapse
prevention strategies will help your family maintain progress and
keep your child motivated long after treatment has ended.
Complete with psychoeducational information, as well as
child-friendly forms and worksheets, this workbook will help your
family better understand TS and the ways you can effectively
support your child. The goal of this program is not to cure the tic
disorder, but to teach your child skills for managing tics well
into the future.
