Cognitive Therapy of Anxiety Disorders: Science and Practice

Rate this book
Updating and reformulating Aaron T. Beck's pioneering cognitive model of anxiety disorders, this book is both authoritative and highly practical. The authors synthesize the latest thinking and empirical data on anxiety treatment and offer step-by-step instruction in cognitive assessment, case formulation, cognitive restructuring, and behavioral intervention. They provide evidence-based mini-manuals for treating the five most common anxiety disorders: panic disorder, social phobia, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder. User-friendly features include vivid case examples, concise "Clinician Guidelines" that reinforce key points, and over three dozen reproducible handouts and forms.

The writing could have been clearer in places, and the book contains some needless repetition, but overall I found this to be extremely helpful. The first part contains a somewhat verbose cognitive-behavioral explanation of anxiety. The second part tells us how to treat anxiety in general and the third part how to treat specific types of anxiety.

Cu cercetarea la zi, extrem de tehnică și detaliată, cartea e utilă mai ales pentru explorarea argumentelor empirice din spatele intervențiilor propuse în tratamentul anxietății. Ca ghid practic e prea detaliată.

A diferencia de los manuales cognitivos de Ellis acerca de la ansiedad. Beck plantea un amplio panorama de intervención en terapia de la ansiedad. Me parece una obra con mayor contenido de explicaciones de fondo de los distintos trastornos de ansiedad. Llega a explicar a detalle el cómo se pueden desarrollar, así como las estrategias de intervención. Me parece muy útil tener este manual a la mano, no tiene tantos ejemplos de consultas reales, pero con la teoría que contiene es muy comprensible el enfoque para abordar la ansiedad.

El libro es técnico y genial pero el problema es qué es muy antiguo, las investigaciones y el soporte teórico de la TCC han evolucionado. Sólo hay que mencionar las nuevas ediciones, cómo en libros de Judith Beck, que están saliendo por el mayor conocimiento neurológico de los trastornos de ansiedad. Por esa antigüedad no la recomiendo. Es de los pocos libros de TCC completos en español, pero necesariamente hay que aprender inglés para obtener la información nueva.

A very comprehensive book about anxiety disorders and cognitive psychology in general. The information can be a little bit too complex at some moments, but I consider it very useful.
