Description du livre
This book will help cognitive behavioral psychotherapists adopt a transdiagnostic approach in their practice. In recent years, a new approach in psychotherapy has been arguing for a move from a focus on specific diagnoses to a transdiagnostic approach that targets psychological mechanisms and processes common to different mental health conditions in order to develop more personalized treatments. This book shows how to adopt a transdiagnostic approach using different third wave cognitive behavioral therapy protocols, such as: Functional Analytic Psychotherapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Trial-Based Cognitive Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Metacognitive Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, Process-Based Therapy and the Unified Protocol.
“The mental health care field is undergoing rapid changes toward transdiagnostic and personalized methods. In line with this development is this superb text. In her book, Dr. Ana Ornelas developed an outstanding book that every student and professional clinician should read. It presents the main protocols of CBT in a single volume by conceptualizing the client in their uniqueness. I highly recommend this text”. - Prof. Dr. Stefan G. Hofmann, Alexander von Humboldt Professor of Clinical Psychology, University of Marburg, Germany.
“Until recently cognitive behavioral therapy has been tailored for individual DSM disorders resulting in numerous treatment protocols. But advances in identifying mechanisms of action of these therapies has led to single interventions that are effective across broad classes of disorders such that they are called "transdiagnostic". In this groundbreaking book leading approaches qualifying as transdiagnostic are described and presented in a way that will be very useful to clinicians in their practice and in their training”. - Prof. Dr. David H. Barlow, Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry Emeritus, Boston University, USA. Founder of the Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders at Boston University.
