Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Illness a...

Description

Title: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Illness and Disability
Description:
Severe pain, debilitating fatigue, sleep disruption, severe gastrointestinal

distress  these hallmarks of chronic illness complicate treatment as surely as

they disrupt patients lives, in no small part because of the overlap between

biological pathology and resulting psychological distress. Cognitive Behavioral

Therapy for Chronic Illness and Disability cuts across formal diagnostic

categories to apply proven therapeutic techniques to potentially devastating

conditions, from first assessment to end of treatment.

Four extended clinical case examples of patients with chronic fatigue,

rheumatoid arthritis, inoperable cancer, and Crohns disease are used throughout

the book to demonstrate how cognitive-behavioral interventions can be used to

effectively address ongoing medical stressors and their attendant depression,

anxiety, and quality-of-life concerns. At the same time, they highlight specific

patient and therapist challenges commonly associated with chronic conditions.

From implementing core CBT strategies to ensuring medication compliance, Renee

Taylor offers professionals insights for synthesizing therapeutic knowledge with

practical understanding of chronic disease. Her nuanced client portraits also

show how individual patients can varyeven within themselves.

This book offers clinicians invaluable help with

- Conceptualizing patient problems
- Developing the therapeutic relationship
- Pacing of therapy
- Cognitive restructuring
- Behavioral modificatio
- Problem solving
- Fostering coping and adapting skills

Taylors coverage is both clean and hands-on, with helpful assessments and

therapy worksheets for quick reference. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Chronic

Illness and Disability gives practitioners of CBT new insights into this

population and provides newer practitioners with vital tools and tactics. All

therapists will benefit as their clients can gain new confidence and regain

control of their lives.
Written for:
Clinicians, therapists, and professional caretakers of all sorts who treat
