Clinical Topics in Psychotherapy
Edited by Digby Tantam
Clinical Topics in Psychotherapy is a
practical guide to the evidence-based practice of psychotherapy. It
deals with those conditions which are of the greatest public health
importance and which present some of the greatest challenges to
psychotherapists, psychiatrists, psychologists and counsellors. For
a given condition, each chapter considers the whole range of
psychotherapeutic approaches applicable, and the evidence for their
effectiveness. Physical treatmentsis are also reviewed where
appropriate. The emphasis is what works in practice, and why.
The contributors are all psychiatrists as well as
psychotherapists and acknowledged experts in their fields. The
chapters will therefore be of interest to experienced medical
psychotherapists, and the practical emphasis of the book means that
it will also be of interest to psychiatrists and general
practitioners who use psychotherapeutic methods, and to
psychotherapists and counsellors treating patients in medical
settings.
