Cognitive Behavioural Therapy In Primary Care A PRACTICAL GUIDE [Paperback]

Despite increased recognition of the importance of psychological factors in the treatment of physical illness there have been surprisingly few practical guides published on the subject of behavioral therapy in primary care. In 1986, in response to this need, Richard France and Meredith Robson created a practical manual for those with limited time at their disposal, who still wish to use behavioral methods with their patients or clients. Ten years on, 'Behavior Therapy in Primary Care' has become a well established and highly thought of work within this field.

In this new and updated guide the authors have incorporated recent research in the area of cognitive behavior therapy, including: advances in cognitive behavior therapy, fundamental changes in certain established programs, additional work in core areas, post-traumatic stress disorder, HIV and stillbirth/abortion trauma.
