• Summary:"Schizophrenia was long believed to be untreatable through psychotherapy. Yet much has changed in recent years in our understanding of this disorder and how we can work to reduce the distress and disability it causes. Drawing on the authors' decades of influential experience in the field, this volume presents an empirically supported cognitive therapy approach developed and tested specifically for this vulnerable population. Provided are a flexible treatment framework and powerful therapeutic tools that can effectively be tailored to individual clients' needs. Straightforward, hopeful, and empowering, this is a state-of-the-art guide for anyone seeking to deliver the best care to people with severe mental illness." "Well organized and accessible, this book provides a sophisticated blueprint for helping people with schizophrenia improve their overall functioning and quality of life. It belongs on the desks of practitioners in a range of settings, including clinical psychologists, clinical social workers, psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses, and rehabilitation specialists, as well as graduate students and residents in these fields."--BOOK JACKET.
