Riassunto

The IAPT programme, initiated in 2008, offers both high-intensity and low-intensity therapy. There are currently no self-help materials catering for low-intensity patients. This is the first in a new series of short self-help books for low intensity patients, covering topics such as OCD; generalised anxiety; and panic and agoraphobia. The government continues to invest in IAPT, with the focus shifting towards having more low-intensity workers.

Based upon an evidence based cognitive behavioural therapy approach, this book is written in a friendly, engaging (and jargon-free!) style and encourages interactive reading through tables, illustrations and worksheets. Real life case studies illustrate the use of each intervention and demonstrate how a patient can work through an issue.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT), initiated in 2008, has made psychological therapy more accessible to those in need. This series of self-help titles is the first to be created specifically for low-intensity IAPT and all titles follow an evidence-based cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) approach which is the treatment of choice for depression and anxiety disorders. All titles are written by authors with considerable experience in the field of CBT self-help research, training and clinical practice.
This book is the perfect resource for helping you to beat low mood and depression, either by yourself or in conjunction with the support of an IAPT service. The book is written in a friendly, engaging (and jargon-free!) style and encourages interactive reading through tables, illustrations and worksheets. Real-life case studies illustrate the use of each intervention and demonstrate how you can work through your depression. The book draws on a therapeutic approach known as Behavioural Activation, which has been recommended as an effective method of treating depression.
Marie Chellingsworth and Dr Paul Farrand are Senior Lecturers at the University of Exeter with responsibility for the clinical training of Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners.
