Description
This volume in the new series, Advances in Psychotherapy -- Evidence-Based Practice, provides therapists and students with practical and evidence-based guidance on diagnosis and treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder -- and does so in a uniquely "reader-friendly" manner. The book is both a compact "how-to" reference, for use by professional clinicians in their daily work, as well as an ideal educational resource for students and for practice-oriented continuing education. The most important feature of the book is that it is practical and "reader-friendly." It has a similar structure to others in the series, and is a compact and easy-to-follow guide covering all aspects of practice that are relevant in real-life. Tables, boxed clinical "pearls," and marginal notes assist orientation, while checklists for copying and summary boxes provide tools for use in daily practice. The series has been developed and is edited with the support of the Society of Clinical Psychology (APA Division 12). The Society is planning a system of home study continuing education courses based on the series that an individual can complete on the web.
Reviews / Votes
"Dr. Abramowitz has done a remarkable job in taking difficult to understand concepts and making them easy to grasp. This is the most practical, user-friendly guide to date. It is a quick, but informative read by one of the premier thought leaders in the field of OCD. This is a must read for clinicians and students alike, and will be required reading for our staff and trainees." Bradley C. Riemann, PhD, Clinical Director, OCD Center at Rogers Memorial Hospital, Oconomowoc, WI "Dr. Jonathan Abramowitz is one of the world's leading experts on Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and has cumulated years of hands-on experience. In this very readable treatment program, he makes these strategies and his experience available to the therapist. Anyone treating patients with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder will want to have this resource." David H. Barlow, PhD, Professor of Psychology, Research Professor of Psychiatry, Director, Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders at Boston University "This book does a fine job of combining cognitive and behavioral interventions into an integrated program of therapy. Dr. Abramowitz' detailed attention to symptom subtypes is especially useful for therapists learning to apply CBT to the many varieties of obsessions and compulsions. The highlighting of clinical pearls, vignettes, and therapeutic dialog is particularly helpful and makes this manual very user-friendly." Gail Steketee, PhD, Professor, Boston University School of Social Work"All prices
