Therapeutic Relationship- Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
By Amy Wenzel
This book describes a relationship-focused approach to the conduct of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) called therapeutic relationship-focused CBT, offering readers a broad conceptualization of the therapeutic relationship by integrating literature that cuts across theoretical frameworks, and applies this conceptualization to illustrate how the therapeutic relationship can be used as both a facilitator of change as well as a central agent of change within the cognitive behavioral framework.
Treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in Serious Mental Illness
By Kim T. Mueser, PhD and Jennifer D. Gottlieb PhD
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is one of the most common disorders in persons with serious mental illness (SMI), significantly impacting individuals’ psychosocial and physical well-being. Chapters in this book summarize contemporary research and theory regarding the interaction between PTSD and serious mental illness, and provide strategies for implementing a cognitive restructuring (CR) program, with treatment implications for various sub-populations and different kinds of mental illness including schizophrenia, psychosis, and borderline personality disorder.
By Laura S. Brown
This book offers a critical examination of the field of trauma work using a decolonial lens, recentering narratives and approaches to healing in a more inclusive, culturally responsive way than that offered by dominant Eurocentric approaches. The author offers a new paradigm for how psychologists and other mental health providers can learn to properly understand and work with people whose lives, psyches, and souls have been damaged by exposure to trauma.
