Synopsis

This user-friendly guide will help the clinician develop Cognitive-Behavioral treatment plans for 11 common psychological disorders (e.g., major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety, borderline personality disorder, anger problems). Based on a problem-solving model and empirical literature, the authors focus on two major clinical tasks involved in this process: case formulation and treatment design. They delineate short-term goals, long-term goals, treatment targets, and potential interventions.

Appendices include "quick guides to CBT treatment planning" for the 11 disorders and selected major CBT clinical intervention strategies noted throughout the book.

“The authors of Cognitive-Behavioral Case Formulation and Treatment Design: A Problem-Solving Approach have reminded cognitive-behavioral therapists of their ‘roots’ regarding the goal of linking treatment planning to a comprehensive, individualized case formulation so as to maximize treatment benefits for all patients. Moreover, they not only provide an excellent model and set of guidelines for individualized case formulation and treatment planning, but they also describe the clinical problem-solving and decision-making processes that can help the clinician maximize his or her effectiveness in this endeavor. This volume is an invaluable resource for all clinical supervisors, clinical trainees, and professional practitioners in the field of cognitive-behavioral therapy who want to maximize treatment outcomes for all patients.”
