Metacognitive Therapy for Anxiety and Depression

"Metacognitive Therapy for Anxiety and Depression" er en banebrydende indførelse i teorien bag metakognitiv terapi, samt en guide til hvordan terapien praktisk forløber. Professor Adrian Wells, der har været med til at udvikle den metakognitive terapi, viser hvordan psykologisk uro stammer mere fra en persons reaktioner på negative tanker, end det tankerne handler om. Efterfølgende introducerer han praktiske forløb, der lader personen konfrontere disse metakognitive processer og dermed effektivt bekæmpe blandt andet generaliseret angst, OCD og alvorlig depression. Bogens argumenterer er opbygget på et væld af cases. "Metacognitive Therapy for Anxiety and Depression" indeholder desuden kopierbare behandlingsplaner og nyttige vurderings og case formulerings redskaber.

This groundbreaking book explains the "whats" and "how-tos" of metacognitive therapy (MCT), an innovative form of cognitive-behavioral therapy with a growing empirical evidence base. MCT developer Adrian Wells shows that much psychological distress results from how a person responds to negative thoughts and beliefs-for example, by ruminating or worrying-rather than the content of those thoughts. He presents practical techniques and specific protocols for addressing metacognitive processes to effectively treat generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, and major depression. Special features include reproducible treatment plans and assessment and case formulation tools, plus a wealth of illustrative case material.
