Roadblocks in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Transforming Challenges into Opportunities for Change

Helping the clinician understand and manage frequently encountered obstacles in treatment, including but not limited to resistance, this volume brings together leading contributors representing a range of cognitive-behavioral perspectives. Each research-based chapter addresses a specific kind of 'roadblock', exploring how and why it arises and suggesting effective, practical solutions. A section on specific populations examines difficulties that occur in treating such complex disorders as psychosis, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and binge-eating. Other sections cover new directions in case conceptualization; working with emotional and metacognitive processes in cognitive therapy; approaches to engaging angry patients and dealing with alliance ruptures; and, ways to overcome impasses in couple and family work.Leahy, Robert L. is the author of 'Roadblocks in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Transforming Challenges into Opportunities for Change' with ISBN 9781572309203 and ISBN 1572309202.
