Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Adolescents and Young Adults - An Emotion Regulation Approach

Zusatztext "Dr Howells's new book! and method! reimagines CBT for the next generation. Grounded in fine-grain! intelligent clinical practice and expertise! the innovative techniques described here focus on developing a can-do mentality in young people - crucially! helping them reframe their 'symptoms' as normal responses to the developmental challenges of life. On the basis of cutting-edge psychological science! and with many clear case examples! Dr Howells tilts CBT on its axis to show how young people can understand their feelings! harness their latent abilities! and take back control of their futures. At a time when young people are facing unprecedented emotional challenges! Dr Howells's powerful new re-reading of CBT is a priceless gift to give them! their families! and the professionals with whom they work."Dr Roger Kingerlee! Consultant Clinical Psychologist! Norfolk and Suffolk Foundation Trust "This book offers a practical and refreshingly different approach to doing cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) with adolescents and young adults. It is an ideal text for the therapist who is starting out in offering CBT for adolescents! as well as for the more experienced clinician who wants to refresh their knowledge and to review and reflect on their applied skills. The evidence base and theory driving the approach blends seamlessly into each chapter. A great addition to the existing CBT practitioner texts for those working with adolescents and young adults!"Dr Maria Loades! Senior Lecturer/Senior Clinical Psychologist/NIHR Research Fellow! University of Bath"As health care restructures to respond in a more timely way to the mental health needs of young people in transition from childhood to adulthood! we urgently need psychosocial interventions that are fit for purpose and transcend our artificial diagnostic frameworks. ER-CBT offers a developmentally attuned approach which is transdiagnostic and! with its primary focus on emotions! is better targeted than traditional CBT for young people. Novel therapies like this are needed as the new 12 -25 system of youth mental health care takes shape in many countries. They can be enhanced through new technologies like virtual reality and on-line platforms but the theoretical and practical building blocks mesh well with the experience and needs of young people. This approach is likely to evolve further with feedback from young people themselves and experienced therapists."Prof Patrick McGorry! Professor of Youth Mental Health at the University of Melbourne! and President of the International Association for Youth Mental Health"The term 'paradigm shift' is often overused. However! in the case of Lawrence Howells' new book I believe that we are witnessing exactly that.This book gives us a really fresh approach to CBT with adolescents and young adults! at a time where effective psychological therapy approaches with this age group are more crucial than ever. Howells' approach will help adolescents and young adults to understand a range of emotions - fear! sadness! anger! and shame -? and to learn methods of bringing about change! aiming at a desired outcome of happiness and wellbeing."?????????? Professor Jamie Hacker Hughes! Consultant Clinical Psychologist! Psychotherapist and Supervisor! and Past President of the British Psychological Society (2015-2016)"An excellent! stimulating and at times challenging addition to the literature! this book is highly recommended for both novice and experienced therapists or indeed anyone working with young people who feel that simple yet powerful models would be useful in helping them to connect with and help young people experiencing a variety of emotional issues. Highly recommended."Dr Jon Wilson! Consultant Psychiatrist and Medical Psychotherapist at teh Norfolk Youth Service.
