(A manual for the diagnosis and treatment of depression--b...)
A manual for the diagnosis and treatment of depression--based on a new, integrated view of the nature, course, and treatment of depression. Depression is one of the most prevalent mental health problems. The authors present a theoretical problem-solving model, which unifies the strengths of cognitive-behavioral therapies, all supported by an overview of relevant research. They then provide a step-by-step practical guide to conducting problem-solving therapy for depressed patients. The clinical guidelines and case study examples are stimulating, and set this book apart from those simply describing research findings.

This book is an invaluable addition to any practicing psychologist's bookshelf."--PsycCRITIQUES Problem-solving therapy (PST) has been increasingly used to treat a variety of health and mental health problems due to its flexibility and proven effectiveness. This text, written by the co-developers of PST, is a comprehensive and detailed manual of how to apply PST to a wide variety of populations and situations. It reflects the significant conceptual and clinical revisions that supersede earlier versions of PST, and is based on the authors' clinical and research experience, the treatment outcome literature, and advances in related areas of psychology and neuroscience research. The book offers specific treatment guidelines, sample client-therapist dialogues, clinical exercises and activities, homework assignments, client handouts, clinical case examples, and worksheets. These resources are based on a "stepped-care" model of PST that takes into account the nature of a client's problems, the intensity of these problems, the setting and treatment structure, and treatment goals. The manual offers clients four major "toolkits," which include a multitasking guide to overcoming "cognitive overload" when under stress, a guide to overcoming problems related to emotional dysregulation, a guide to overcoming barriers to effective problem-solving through use of healthy thinking and positive imagery, and a guide to fostering effective problem-solving by designing and employing a rational plan. Digital accompaniments include patient handouts, worksheets, and toolkits. Intended for use by a wide variety of mental health professionals in multiple settings, the manual can also serve as a text for both undergraduate and applied graduate courses.
