Kognitivně behaviorální terapie - Základy a něco navíc – Becková Judith S. (2018)

The book is an excellent guide for therapists and students who want to familiarize themselves with the basic features of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Judith S. Beck provides the reader with a solid foundation in the theory, principles, and practical implementation of CBT. In accessible language, she step-by-step shows how to successfully apply evidence-based therapeutic methods that can lead to lasting changes in emotions and behavior. The author demonstrates key skills in the book, such as how to engage the patient in treatment, create a clear conceptualization of their case, plan therapy, and maintain the structure of sessions. She explains key therapeutic techniques, including how to identify and evaluate automatic thoughts and how to respond to them; how to achieve changes in mediating and core beliefs; and how to conduct behavioral and experiential therapeutic interventions. The book also includes chapters dedicated to addressing the most common problems in therapy and preventing relapse. The publication can also be used in CBT training for psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and other helping professions.
