Tanker kommer og går. Et viktig premiss for tilnærmingen som beskrives i denne boka, er at psykisk lidelse handler om at enkelte tanker øker i styrke og resirkuleres, mens andre får lov til å flyte videre. Dette handler om valg og kontroll av tenkemåter, som igjen henger sammen med metakognisjon. Metakognitiv terapi for angst og depresjon er en detaljert behandlingsmanual og er godt utstyrt med terapeutiske teknikker basert på metakognitiv teori. Du vil finne nyttige råd for kartleggingsprosessen, intervjuer knyttet til utarbeidelsen av kasusbeskrivelser og behandlingsplaner. Det er vanskelig å få lovprist denne boka nok ... Boka er bygget opp med et kapittel for hver enkelt lidelse, der alt fra innledende spørsmål, behandlingsforløp, atferdseksperimenter, eksponering og tilbakefallsforebygging er konkret beskrevet. Dersom du har satt deg inn i kapittelet om for eksempel tvangstanker, er du godt rustet til å ta i mot alle slags type tvangstanker. Dette høres nesten for godt ut til å være sant, men den som forsøker, vil finne det ut selv. Tidsskrift for Norsk PsykologforeningLes anmeldelse av boka i Tidsskrift for Den norske legeforening .

This groundbreaking book explains the "whats" and "how-tos" of metacognitive therapy (MCT), an innovative form of cognitive-behavioral therapy with a growing empirical evidence base. MCT developer Adrian Wells shows that much psychological distress results from how a person responds to negative thoughts and beliefs—for example, by ruminating or worrying—rather than the content of those thoughts. He presents practical techniques and specific protocols for addressing metacognitive processes to effectively treat generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive–compulsive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, and major depression. Special features include reproducible treatment plans and assessment and case formulation tools, plus a wealth of illustrative case material.

Cognitive therapies are based on the idea that behavior and emotions result largely from an individual's appraisal of a situation, and are therefore influenced by that individual's beliefs, assumptions and images. This book, now in a new second edition, is a comprehensive guide to cognitive therapy of anxiety disorders.

Metacognitive therapy is based on the principle that worry and rumination are universal processes leading to emotional disorder. These processes are linked to erroneous beliefs about thinking and unhelpful self-regulation strategies. Metacognitive Therapy: Distinctive Features is an introduction to the theoretical foundations and therapeutic principles of metacognitive therapy. Divided into two sections, Theory and Practice and using thirty key points, the authors explore how metacognitive therapy can allow people to escape from repetitive thinking patterns that often lead to prolonged psychological distress. This book is a valuable resource for both students and practitioners wishing to develop a basic understanding of metacognitive therapy and how it compares and contrasts with traditional forms of cognitive behavioural therapy.

Cognitive therapies for psychological disorders are increasingly recognised as effective and client-friendly treatment approaches that are well supported by outcome and research evidence. However, there is much scope for improving our knowledge and treatment of emotional disorders. This book helps to develop an understanding of the internal rules and processes that guide thinking, and the factors that lead individuals to become trapped in cycles of negative and distorted thought. In a ground-breaking new approach to cognitive therapy, Adrian Wells addresses limitations of cognitive theories and describes how metacognition, self-attentional processes, and worry/rumination strategies are central to emotional vulnerability, to the maintenance of trauma-related stress reactions, to and emotional disorders. Using the meta-cognitive model, the author describes in detail new clinical strategies which help to guide the clinician towards a fresh cognitive approach to changing negative thoughts, distorted beliefs, and distressing emotions. Trainee therapists and practitioners, as well as experts working at the frontiers of cognitive therapy, will welcome this book for its * introduction to this innovative, powerful approach to emotional disorders * details clinical guidelines and applications * theoretical and research-based development of cognitive therapy "Any clinician, researcher, or theoretician dealing with emotional disorders should read this book. Adrian Wells is doing some of the most creative and thoughtful work today on the nature and treatment of emotional disorders. As one of the few individuals to thoughtfully integrate emerging principles of cognitive science with the practice of cognitive therapy. Wells provides a fresh perspective on the process of change in emotional disorders that leads to innovative new treatment strategies."—David H Barlow, PhD, Center for Anxiety and Related Disroders at Boston University, USA

`Clearly written and readily understandable.'- Journal of Canadian Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry`The book is full of useful advice, much of which is not to be found in any of the other books in this market. For those patients who are likely to benefit from a cognitive behavioural approach to their bulimic problem, I think that the model and techniques are excellent. The links between cognition, behaviour and affect are clearly made, and go beyond simple matters of food, weight and shape…this book is a valuable addition to the literature. Its blend of theory, empirical evidence, clinical sense and a wide range of cognitive domains means that I will certainly be recommending this to a number of my patients.'-British Journal of Clinical Psychology`Bulimia nervosa is a very distressing and common disorder for which effective treatment is quite limited.
