Using Psychodynamic Thinking to Enhance CBT in Clients with Psychosis

Using Psychodynamic Thinking to Enhance CBT in Clients with Psychosis presents a comprehensive method for linking clients’ symptoms to their personal development and life problems.

Using concrete examples and extensive case descriptions that often span many years, the chapters show clinicians how to construct a psychodynamic case conceptualisation and how to then guide the direction of the therapy.

The book will be of interest to experienced clinicians, therapists in training, and anyone looking for an integrative approach to the psychotherapy of clients with psychotic presentations.

Simon Jakes trained in clinical psychology at the Institute of Psychiatry in London, graduating with the M.Phil. degree in 1982. He has provided and supervised CBT for psychosis since the 1990s.
