Cognitive Behaviour Therapy: A Practical Guide To Helping People Take Control
This book explores the premise that negative beliefs play an important role in the development and continuation of mental health problems.
It offers a new integrative model of causality for instigating change, based on giving clients control and choice over these beliefs, and therefore over their mood and behaviour.
"This book is the first to consider the practicalities of helping people to change using CBT from the perspective of stigma, self stigma and labelling" - Paul Salkovskis, from the foreword
Net gains for mental health
The news that antidepressants may not be very effective could open the door for online therapy.
Isaac Marks, Professor Emeritus of the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College London, and author of Hands-on Help: Computer-aided Psychotherapy explores this idea further in a recent article in The Times.
"Repetitive parts of the therapy are done by a computer, which can then make decisions based on their answers," says Marks. "A computer can train them to think in different ways."
