Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has a growing evidence base supporting its efficacy in treating a wide range of psychiatric disorders. This therapeutic approach has been adapted for use with more complex patient populations and across different stages of psychiatric illness. As the first Massachusetts General Hospital-branded text on the subject, The Massachusetts General Hospital Handbook of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a cutting-edge resource that stands out from current literature on CBT.
Authored by leading experts in the field, this handbook provides valuable insights into the latest research evaluating the effectiveness of CBT and explores the underlying mechanisms of action for this transformative treatment. Key features of this essential guide include:
- Historical Background: In-depth coverage of the development and evolution of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
- Outcomes Data: A comprehensive review of relevant outcomes data demonstrating the efficacy of CBT across various psychiatric disorders.
- Mechanisms of Action: An exploration of the psychological and physiological mechanisms by which CBT exerts its effects.
- Practical Toolbox: A take-away “tool box” of CBT strategies and techniques that mental health practitioners can immediately implement in their practices.
The Massachusetts General Hospital Handbook of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is designed to enhance the clinical practices of a broad base of frontline mental health practitioners, including psychiatrists, therapists, and other mental health professionals.
