Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

This is another classic book in the Beckian' style--scholarly and eminently readable, a superb and much needed treatment guide. Breaking new ground again in this unusually challenging work, Beck, Freeman and their associates have produced an exceptionally useful handbook, not only for those who follow in the cognitive-behavioral tradition, but for all therapists who seek to enrich their insights and methodologies for working with the personality disorders. It is of no small import that the text is a pleasure to read. Clear both in thought and language, it is entirely free of the jargon and obscurities that litter this field. In a matter of particular relevance to my own work, I was especially pleased with the chapter on the avoidant personality; it is the first detailed and sensitively drawn examination of therapeutic issues with this highly troubled group of patients. All in all, the Beck-Freeman volume is a major milestone in the progress of therapy for this large class of difficult-to-treat disorders.''--Theodore Millon, Ph.D., University of Miami and Harvard Medical School "It's refreshing to find an approach to cognitive therapy that gives full consideration to the real-life, messy issues of feelings, motivations, and even unconscious processes....One has high expectations of a clinical writing team headed by Aaron Beck, whose work in cognitive therapy of depression and anxiety is now classic. This book continues the tradition in the domain of personality disorders. Perhaps its greatest overarching contribution is in emphasizing how good psychotherapy is at once systematic, flexible, and humanistic.' --"Psychotherapy in Private Practice"

Reseña del editor:

Although they are a difficult population to work with, clients suffering from personality disorders can respond to treatment. Cognitive therapy, an approach that has been demonstrated to be effective with a broad range of clinical problems, has also been applied to this diagnostic group. This volume has grown out of that therapeutic work, and focuses on diagnostic criteria, cognitive conceptualizations of the personality disorders, cognitive treatment strategies, and techniques for developing a treatment program. Clinical data, case description, and clinical vignettes illustrate the various problems and interventions.
