This is the first text to give a systematic, in-depth coverage of adult clinical problems and their treatment in a cognitive-behavioural perspective. The contributors reflect the broad range of cognitive-behavioural approaches to a variety of clinical problems, including anxiety, depression, anger and violence, alcohol problems, and schizophrenia. Each chapter shows clearly how the particular clinical problem is conceptualized from a cognitive-behavioural perspective, gives an up-to-date review of research findings on cognitive-behavioural therapeutic interventions and outlines possible future developments.
