Descripciones mejoradas de Syndetics:

Although a number of variations on the original theory have developed over the decades, all types of cognitive--behavioral therapy are unified by their empirical foundation, reliance on the theory and science of behavior and cognition, and the centrality of problem-focused goals. In this book, Michelle G. Craske presents and explores this approach, its theory, history, the therapy process, primary change mechanisms, empirical basis, and future developments.

CHOICE Review

This second edition is part of the American Psychological Association's "Theories of Psychotherapy" series, each volume of which describes and reviews a major theory of US psychotherapy. Craske (Univ. of California, Los Angeles) has published extensively in the area of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), arguably the most widely used, researched, and empirically supported therapy in the US. Here, Craske presents a thorough history of CBT, from its origins as a science-based treatment of behaviors to its second- and third-wave iterations, which incorporate the role of cognition as content and the function of cognition in changing behavior. As in all the volumes of this series, the author presents the therapy process, applications to specific disorders, efficacy research, contraindicators, and cross-cultural limitations. Well-chosen case studies illustrate a variety of applications. Future developments are thoughtfully considered, including the ways in which mindfulness and developments in learning theory and neuroscience can influence the practice of CBT. The glossary and recommended readings provide useful additional resources. The research has been updated since the first edition to make this volume an important addition to a library or teaching collection. DVDs of therapy sessions are also available. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above; faculty and practitioners. --Deborah L. Loers, Akoan Consulting
