Cognitive behavioural couple therapy : distinctive features
\"Cognitive Behavioural Couple Therapy (CBCT) is an enhanced and contextually grounded approach that provides evidence based strategies for working with couple distress, as well as individual psychopathology in the context of a distressed relationship. Cognitive Behavioural Couple Therapy: Distinctive Features explores this truly integrative and experiential way of working. This model has significantly widened the traditional CBT focus on cognition and behaviour to include an equal emphasis on emotion, stable individual differences and vulnerabilities, as well as an awareness of the importance of the environment and the wider context for couple relationships. Comprising 30 key points, and divided into two parts--Theory and Practice--this concise book includes numerous clinical examples that illustrate the key features of Cognitive Behavioural Couple Therapy. It will offer essential guidance for students, practitioners experienced in individual CBT, as well as practitioners of couple therapy from other theoretical orientations who require an accessible guide to the distinctive theoretical and practical features of this contemporary approach. \"-- Provided by publisher.

CBT and EXISTENTIAL PSYCHOLOGY Explore the possibilities and challenges of bringing two highly diverse disciplines CBT and existential therapy into dialogue In CBT and Existential Psychology: Philosophy, Psychology and Therapy, distinguished clinical psychologist Dr Michael Worrell delivers a singular exploration of the relationship between diverse forms of contemporary cognitive behaviour therapy and existential phenomenology. Written for both experienced and beginning CBT therapists, as well as therapists who practice from an existential perspective, this book clarifies and discusses the potential and challenges presented when these two different schools of thought and practice are brought into dialogue. The author outlines, in accessible fashion, the implications and possibilities offered by the combination of CBT and existential practice. He also presents a series of discussions with the highly experienced CBT therapists, researchers, and trainers, Tomas Heidenreich and Alexander Noyon, and existential therapy leader Ernesto Spinelli. The book includes a series of existential reflections and experiential exercises to allow the reader to develop an understanding of descriptive phenomenological approaches to therapeutic conversations. Readers will also find: A thorough introduction to existential philosophy, psychology, and therapy, including the theory and practice of existential therapy Comprehensive discussions of cognitive and behavioural psychotherapies, including Beckian CBT, schema-focused therapies, and constructivist, narrative, and postmodern CBT In-depth explorations of existential challenges and contributions to therapy, including discussions of anxiety, possibility, and uncertainty Enlightening dialogues on CBT and existential psychology with Tomas Heidenreich, Alexander Noyon, and Ernesto Spinelli Perfect for beginning and advanced CBT and existential therapists, CBT and Existential Psychology: Philosophy, Psychology and Therapy will also earn a place in the libraries of trainee clinical and counselling psychologists, as well as integrative and humanistic psychotherapists.

Existential Approaches and Cognitive Behavior Therapy: Challenges and Potential
Existential concerns such as death, responsibility, meaninglessness, and isolation not only are the hallmark of existential psychotherapy but also are frequently encountered by CBT therapists—nevertheless, due to epistemological and ideological differences, existential and CBT approaches to psychotherapy had little overlap historically. During recent years, existential issues are increasingly discussed in empirical clinical psychology, e.g., the potential role of the fear of death for a variety of mental disorders by Iverach et al. (
Clinical Psychology Review
, 34(7), 580–593,

), and there is increasing experimental evidence for a causal rather than correlational role of death anxiety discussed by Menzies and Dar-Nimrod (
Journal of Abnormal Psychology
, 126(4), 367–377,

). Further, existential concerns are common themes in CBT discussed by Grober et al. (

) and may play an important role in the training of CBT therapists discussed by Worrell et al. (

Dupuytren’s Disease
Dupuytren’s disease is a benign contractile disorder of the hand. The condition commonly affects older men of Celtic descent. Although fibroproliferation and collagen alteration play a role in its etiology, defining a cause remains elusive. Nonoperative intervention for advanced disease has shown only short-term benefit. Therefore, open fasciectomy has become the mainstay of treatment. Associated morbidity and recurrence have prompted investigation into less invasive techniques, including needle aponeurotomy and enzymatic fasciotomy. Data from phase III studies using injectable collagenase are changing treatment algorithms. Postoperative rehabilitation includes nighttime splinting and immediate active range of motion exercises to facilitate return to function.

Existential formulations of therapeutic practice
Existential therapy is characterized by a strong tradition of sceptical engagement with the fundamental and basic beliefs of psychotherapy. Existential therapy's critical stance towards much that is practised under the title of \"developing formulations\" arises also from its commitment to forms of practice that privilege understanding over explanation. Existential therapists have frequently taken issue with the foundational belief that the essence of therapeutic practice is the provision of a specific treatment to a client in order to achieve a specified outcome. Rather than notions of \"treatment\" or \"intervention\", existential therapy has attempted to maintain a focus upon the essence of therapy as \"attending to\". Therapy from an existential perspective is primarily an encounter or meeting between two individuals where the focus remains on the exploration, clarification, and challenge of the client's experience of living. E. Spinelli employs the term \"worlding\" to describe the interrelationally based, process-like, and ever shifting experience of existence that forms the focus for existential exploration.

What To Do When CBT Isn't Working?
A review of the research literature reveals that there is no generally agreed upon definition of treatment failure. Historically, many of the types of problems and difficulties that have been associated with treatment failure or drop out have been understood with reference to the concept of “resistance”. A contemporary Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) view on the nature of therapeutic resistance strongly support a view of these phenomena as “understandable”, “adaptive” and as “making sense” from the perspective of the client at some level. The procedural competence of being able to employ CBT theory to devise tentative hypotheses or formulations of what might be maintaining the resistance is an important aspect of developing appropriate flexibility and artistry as a CBT therapist. Difficulties with resistance and therapy interfering behaviours often escalate to the point that a rupture in the working alliance occurs.

Hot Cognition in Sexual Attraction
This chapter discusses ′Beckian′ cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). Dilemmas around sexual attraction between therapist and client are far more likely to become activated in therapies that are of a long‐term duration. Theoretical and research base of CBT has continued to be developed, and the approach has been extended to work with clients presenting with more complex and enduring difficulties. A primary metaphor for CBT has been the ‘mind as computer’ as it has also been for cognitive science more broadly. The contribution of existential‐phenomenological philosophy to CBT practitioners is the foregrounding of the inevitable aspects of human existence itself. The chapter also discusses emotional response to sexual attraction in therapy, the training methods to develop effective CBT therapists, and the clinical strategies for the management of sexual attraction in therapy. The move towards some of the so‐called third‐wave CBT approaches opens the model towards a more Dionysian perspective.
