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 vuinerability, to the maintenance of trauma-related stress reactions, and to 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.
