From Aaron T. Beck and colleagues, this is the definitive work on the
cognitive model of schizophrenia and its treatment. The volume
integrates cognitive-behavioral and biological knowledge into a
comprehensive conceptual framework. It examines the origins,
development, and maintenance of key symptom areas: delusions,
hallucinations, negative symptoms, and formal thought disorder.
Treatment chapters then offer concrete guidance for addressing each type
of symptom, complete with case examples and session outlines. Anyone who
treats or studies serious mental illness will find a new level of
understanding together with theoretically and empirically grounded
clinical techniques.
