• professional and clear compilation of all the therapy models
• over 50 disorder models, strongly practice-oriented
Models of a disorder’s origins and persistence explain how mental disorders develop and why they persist. They therefore play a central role in the psycho education which therapists need. The interventions used on patients are also derived from these models. They also form the basis for relapse prevention.
This edition of the Therapy Tools series examines the disorder models in behaviour therapy for all the relevant mental disorders, including depression, anxiety disorders and addictions. To begin with the models are briefly presented and explained with therapists and patients in mind. Then, with the help of worksheets, therapists and patients can work out an individual model together and check it out in everyday life. In this way, some suitable starting points for effective treatment in therapy can be found.
