Based on the theory that emotional disorders arise from negatively biased thinking, the book outlines strategies for helping clients to examine their thinking processes and to overcome the unhelpful beliefs and patterns of thought at the root of their distress.… Beginning with an explanation of brief therapy, the book goes on to describe the process of working with clients through beginning, middle and end stages. Illustrative case material is used throughout to show how the method works in practice. The authors describe how brief cognitive behaviour therapy can be effective in helping a wide range of circumstances and include guidelines for working with clients suffering from post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder or those who are suicidal. 2000.
