Can marital problems be treated effectively using cognitive-behavioral therapy? Leading researchers and practitioners set out to answer these questions and more in Advances in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, a timely volume that provides a unique perspective on the use of cognitive-behavioral therapies. Instead of focusing on different forms or models, this volume examines the use of cognitive-behavioral therapy with a range of disorders such as posttraumatic stress, agoraphobia, and chronic pain. This book also includes several topics seriously underrepresented in other texts, including personality disorders and child/adolescent disorders. Excellent integration of empirical research with clinical applications characterizes this valuable volume. Advances in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy will appeal to advanced students, researchers, and practitioners in clinical psychology, developmental psychology, social work, interpersonal violence, nursing, and criminology. Those interested in issues relating to aging and interpersonal violence will also benefit from reading this book.
