Schema Therapy combines proven cognitive behavioral therapy techniques with elements of interpersonal, experiential, and psychodynamic therapies in order to help people with long-term mental health problems including personality disorders and chronic depression. Schema Therapy suggests that many negative cognitive conditions are based on past experiences, and therefore provides models for challenging and modifying negative thoughts and behaviors in order to provoke change. In this book, Eshkol Rafaeli, David P. Bernstein and Jeffrey Young – pioneers of the Schema Therapy approach – indicate the 30 distinctive features of Schema Therapy, and how the method fits into the broader CBT spectrum. Divided into two parts, Theoretical Points and Practical Points, this book provides a concise introduction for those new to the technique, as well as a discussion of how it differs from the other cognitive behavioral therapies for those experienced in the field.

Young adult men in their late teens and early twenties are statistically the least happy of any group of males surveyed. What’s more, scholarly research tells us that adolescent boys and young men have the highest rates of behavioral problems, completed suicides, and drug and alcohol problems of any demographic group. They also tend to have greater problems managing their emotions and successfully negotiating close interpersonal relationships, which makes therapy more complex and challenging. However, when done well, therapy with young men can be highly effective and quite rewarding for both the therapist and client. In Therapy With Young Men , Verhaagen presents a comprehensive model of therapy with young men that addresses each of these concerns, beginning with the rapport and engagement process, and then moving to ways to increase motivation for changing problem behaviors and increasing adaptive skills. The book describes a wide range of novel, effective cognitive-behavioral interventions that can readily be employed in the therapeutic process. \"Drawing on more than 20,000 hours of treatment with young men, Dave Verhaagen has developed a comprehensive therapeutic strategy to engage young men – not only in therapy, but actually engage them in their own lives. This book is more than ‘useful’ – it’s vitally necessary.\" - Michael Kimmel, SUNY Stony Brook–New York, USA; author, Guyland: The Perilous World Where Boys Become Men \" Therapy with Young Men is an excellent book. Dr. Verhaagen describes a wide range of effective cognitive-behavioral interventions that can be implemented with adolescents and young adults with severe behavioral problems. For clinicians who want concrete tools that they can use in their practice to lower resistance and engage out of control adolescents, this is a must read.\" - Scott P. Sells, author, Parenting Your Out of Control Teenager; Treating the Tough Adolescent \"[This book] targets a narrow age and gender group, and this fills a gap in many clinicians' knowledge and skills base. It is clear that Verhaagen has a vast experience of working effectively with this client group, something that he is able to share in this very readable book.\" -Cheryl Bailey, Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health Foundation Trust, UK, in Child and Adolescent Mental Health David Verhaagen, PhD, ABPP, is a licensed psychologist and managing partner/CEO of Southeast Psychological Services.

Se describe el caso clínico de una mujer de 53 años con trastorno de estrés postraumático (TEPT), a raíz de un accidente ferroviario en Galicia (España) en julio 2013. El accidente le supuso diferentes lesiones e intervenciones quirúrgicas. El impacto a nivel psicológico aparece de forma demorada, presentando, además de sintomatología TEPT, alta ansiedad, síntomas depresivos y alta irritabilidad. En el tratamiento se aplicó “exposición prolongada” enmarcada en un tratamiento cognitivo-conductual más amplio, en el que se incluyó reestructuración cognitiva y entrenamiento en regulación emocional, para abordar las interpretaciones disfuncionales que favorecían la aparición de la ira. Se describe la aplicación del tratamiento y las principales dificultades encontradas, principalmente la evitación de la exposición al recuerdo del trauma y la solicitud de la paciente del cese anticipado del tratamiento. Se presentan los resultados, incluyendo los seguimientos a 1, 3, 6 y 12 meses, y se discute la evolución de la paciente.

La TCC de groupe pour le traitement de la psychose est le premier module de thérapie de groupe de son genre à être publié. Ce manuel conviendra à une grande variété de professionnels de la santé mentale. La thérapie de groupe est souvent recommandée aux personnes atteintes de psychose en raison des coûts peu élevés qu’elle engendre et des bienfaits indirects qu’elle procure, comme l’amélioration des habiletés sociales et la solidification du soutien social. La prestation de ce type d’intervention nécessite des compétences particulières et des connaissances spécialisées qui sont rarement enseignées dans les programmes de formation clinique. Cet ouvrage offre des descriptions détaillées des techniques pertinentes, des vignettes cliniques et des activités qui pourront être utilisées au cours des séances de groupe. Il sera une ressource précieuse pour les psychiatres, les psychologues, les infirmiers psychiatriques, les ergothérapeutes, les travailleurs sociaux, les enseignants, les superviseurs et les étudiants des cycles supérieurs dans ces domaines.

Ciento veinte víctimas del terrorismo que habían sufrido un atentado como media 18 años antes y que presentaban sintomatología o trastorno de estrés postraumático (TEPT) fueron aleatorizadas a 16 sesiones de terapia cognitivoconductual centrada en el trauma (TCC-CT) o a lista de espera. Ninguna de las víctimas que completó el tratamiento presentaba un diagnóstico de TEPT en el postratamiento; estas víctimas mostraban niveles de sintomatología de estrés postraumático significativamente menores en el postratamiento que en el pretratamiento, con una diferencia prepost grande (d = 1.39) y un 78.3% de ellas mostraban niveles normales en el postratamiento. Estos resultados fueron significativamente mejores que los del grupo control, siendo la diferencia tratamiento-control grande (d = 0.91). La TCC-CT es eficaz y representa actualmente el tratamiento de elección para víctimas del terrorismo que sufren TEPT o sintomatología de estrés postraumático, incluso a muy largo plazo, entre 6 y 51 años después del atentado.

En este trabajo se muestra la efectividad o utilidad clínica de la terapia cognitivo-conductual centrada en el trauma (TCCCT) cuando se aplica por videoconferencia a un paciente de 52 años víctima directa de un atentado terrorista sufrido hace 30 años, que presentaba trastorno por estrés postraumático (TEPT), trastorno depresivo mayor, fobia social y trastorno obsesivo-compulsivo. Tras 36 sesiones de tratamiento, se produjo una reducción clínicamente significativa de la sintomatología postraumática, ansiosa y depresiva, la cual se mantuvo estable a largo plazo. La TCC-CT aplicada por videoconferencia parece ser efectiva cuando se utiliza con víctimas del terrorismo que sufren TEPT y otros trastornos comórbidos a muy largo plazo, aunque la comorbilidad y la cronicidad parecen requerir un aumento en el número de sesiones.
