Drawing on the authors' decades of influential work in the field, this
highly practical volume presents an evidence-based cognitive therapy
approach for clients with schizophrenia. Guidelines are provided for
collaborative assessment and case formulation that enable the clinician
to build a strong therapeutic relationship, establish reasonable goals,
and tailor treatment to each client's needs. Described in thorough,
step-by-step detail are effective techniques for working with delusional
beliefs, voices, visions, thought disorders, and negative symptoms;
integrating cognitive therapy with other forms of treatment; reducing
relapse risks; and enhancing client motivation. Special features include
reproducible client handouts and assessment tools.
