However, until recently a generic form of CBT was proposed for use with the wide range of symptoms that result in a diagnosis of schizophrenia. Here, results from the latest clinical trials, show how therapists are now able to target specific presentations with specialized CBT protocols. For the first time, this powerful form of therapy can be tailored to the treatment of discrete symptoms such as command hallucinations, violent behaviour or co-morbid post-traumatic stress disorder.</p> <p>Each chapter reviews the current evidence base for a specific presentation before moving on to describe the relevant treatment protocol and deploying case material to bring the methodology to life. This book will prove an invaluable resource for any clinician wanting to engage in evidence-based practice with this group.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"All over, this book is very practical and to be recommended to therapists that want to get an insight into how problems associated with psychotic experiences can be efficiently treated psychologically.<i>" (</i><i>Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapy</i>, 1 January 2014)</p> <p>"While not a workbook that readers can use to guide CBT sessions with patients, it provides a nice overview of the evidence supporting the use of CBT and could be helpful for any clinicians working with these challenging patients."
