To help advanced practice psychiatric nurses incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into their work, this manual provides an overview of CBT and the ways it fits into nursing practice and theory. After a review of the basic concept of CBT and its techniques, the papers address treatment of specific conditions, such as depression, chronic pain, and traumatic brain injury, and specific populations and settings, such as group therapy and working with families. The contributors give detailed explanations of suggested treatment, often illustrated with case studies. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR More Reviews and Recommendations
