CBT for Personality Disorders by Henck Van Bilsen
This key new text on CBT for personality disorders offers a unique trainee guide to this complex area. The book provides a practical, hands-on overview of the treatment strategies for working with personality disorders, linking these with the theory of both cognitive and behavioural approaches. Covering the full range of personality disorders, this is the most rounded and introductory guide yet. Key content includes: - therapist self-care; avoiding pitfalls - holding the CBT line in challenging circumstances, across a range of multi-disciplinary settings - exploration of the therapeutic relationship and engagement strategies - reflections on the evidence for CBT and personality problems - chapter introductions and summaries, key learning points and reflective questions - case examples and vignettes. This book is an important resource for anyone wishing to use their CBT training with clients presenting personality disorders.
′I really like this book and strongly recommend that you read itAs a clinician and educator in CBT I think this book has a lot to offer. It will meet the needs of the beginning CBT practitioners and provide welcome revision and extension of knowledge for the more experienced practitioner. This useful text provides an excellent balance of theory related to clinical practice. It was refreshing to see the authors provide a focus on behavioural theory and practice alongside the ubiquitous cognitive concepts and practice found in most other texts on this subject. There is a pleasing (and clinically useful) amount of "B" in "CBT for Personality Disorders.′
