Hi guys,
I'm looking for a CBT manual that teaches you how to apply CBT to different disorders; that is, the book that I'm looking for would have a break-down of all disorders to which CBT can be applied, and within each section you'd have specific information of how to tailor the protocol to that specific disorder.
Stefan Hofmann has something like this in his "An Introduction to Modern CBT", where he touches upon panic disorder, agoraphobia, social anxiety, OCD, GAD, depression, alcohol abuse and sex disorders. This is a very introductory book, however, and Hofmann touches on these various disorders very briefly. Is there anything like this but with a bit more content?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
Best,
Marc
CBT for everything does not exist, I ' m afraid. Costruttivistic Cognitive approach is more flexible, I think . In Italy there is Liotti that is translated in english.
You could check out: Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders: Therapist Guide.
Thank you all for your kind replies! I am familiar with Prochaska's transdiagnostic model, though that's not exactly what I'm looking for (but I will definitely have a look at the unified protocol that Terence H. W. Ching and Michael Uebel recommended!). What I need is a manual that teaches you how to tailor CBT depending on the specific nature of a range of disorders. Something like this is accomplished in M.I. Comeche and M.A. Vallejo's "Manual de Terapia de Conducta en la infancia" (Madrid: Dykinson), though this manual is only intended for children -- hence the need to find something for adults. In this manual, however, you can see a breakdown of CBT as it applies to a rather extensive number of disorders: ADHD, ODD, CD, various types of anxiety, depression, phobias, and many more. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!
Robert Leahy Treatment Plans and Interventions for Depression and Anxiety Disorders is probably the closest to a manual you are going to get.
James Binnie, thanks a lot, that is actually very helpful. I've had a look at the manual and really loved its contents! What about other disorders, like schizophrenia, for example? I know there are dedicated manuals on how to apply CBT to schizophrenia, for instance, but I'd love something that's more introductory -- more comprehensive than a case report or journal article, but less so than a dedicated manual. If anybody has any clues, I'll be grateful. Thank you all for pointing me in the right direction!
You may wish to explore "Doing CBT" by David Tolin. It articulates the core principles and components of CBT extremely well, and how to apply them in treatment for a wide range of psychological disorders, including schizophrenia.
