Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Depression

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Depression

Martin Hautzinger’s treatment programme sets the standard and draws on the abundance of modern psychotherapy tools for treating depression.
The manual describes the practical procedure in detail in a way which is easy to understand and, at the same time, answers key questions:

• How do you build a therapeutic relationship with someone suffering from depression?
• How do you get the patient to take up positive activities?
• How can we change the way depressed patients think?
• How can social skills be improved?
• What should be done if there are crises and setbacks?
• How should recurrent and chronic depression be treated?

The manual can be used in both out-patient and inpatient settings. There is a wide range of working materials to help overcome problems with differing degrees of the severity of the depression or different forms of its course.
