I do not work in the clinical psychology field, but was looking for an informative book on Physiological disorders to better my understanding of Alcohol Use Disorders (chapter 9). This book goes into great detail on the subject and is an excellent resource for anyone who may have a drinking problem or know someone close to them that could. It explains the many facets of the disorder from: what 'alcohol abuse' is vs. 'alcohol dependence', 'normal' drinking vs. 'problem drinking' to cognitive therapy techniques in order to help individuals with their drinking problems. It provides the reader with a full understanding without preaching to you that there is only one way to solve a drinking problem and that's to abstain from drinking (although it does recommend it) and go to AA meetings. The tools provided in this book gives the reader detailed information on subjects such as: drinking assessment, drinking goals, sobriety strategies, coping strategies for urges, and speaks about a life balance technique to enhance the overall well being of the individual. There are also many case studies that give a further understanding of the cognitive therapy process. I learned a great deal from this book and feel it's a great reference for anyone experiencing problems in their life due to alcohol use or working in the field. It's a bonus that the book also deals with 13 other subjects. Well worth the MONEY!

This book is an excellent companion book to the DSM-IV-TR. It is especially useful for the Cognitive Behavioral therapist. No psychologist should be without this resource.

That subheading implies detailed steps for a variety of treatment modalities. This text does not provide that. It discusses various treatment modalities, but does not provide detailed steps that would be useful in practise.

More About This Textbook
Overview
In addition to completely updated chapters on topics featured in the first edition, this volume covers such issues as:
* Borderline personality disorder
* Eating disorders, including anorexia, bulimia, and binge
eating disorders
* Rape-induced post-traumatic stress disorder
* Effective treatments for social phobia
* A new protocol for generalized anxiety disorder
The book successfully combines the latest research findings with detailed, practical therapeutic guidelines documented in great detail by leading clinicians and researchers. Each chapter, focusing on a specific disorder, reviews current knowledge and the models or theories that guide the technology. A description of the typical setting in which the treatment is carried out includes a discussion about the social context oftreatment and the implications of therapist and client variables. At this point, the book moves to the heart of each of the therapies by providing detailed, step-by-step protocols for assessment and treatment, illustrated with transcripts of actual therapy sessions. Finally, the authors provide clinical predictors of success or failure wherever data exist.
An ideal text for students of psychology, this book is also an invaluable resource for practicing clinicians who wish to keep abreast of the latest ideas emerging on DSM-IV criteria, and the psychosocial treatments that share a proven clinical effectiveness. Similarly, psychiatric residents and other mental health professionals either in training or in practice, who seek definitive, state-of-the-art protocols for the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of adult psychological disorders will find relevant information to complement their individual approaches.
This book contains black-and-white illustrations.
Editorial Reviews
From The Critics
Reviewer: Christopher J. Graver, PhD, ABPP-CN(Madigan Healthcare System)Description: Evidence-based practice is becoming the norm in psychology with the growing scientific knowledge and expectations from managed care organizations. This book covers the major empirically supported treatments (ESTs) and their use in a variety of disorders.
Purpose: The main purpose is to provide a step-by-step guide to ESTs. This differs from other books in that it is an explicit guide, rather than just a review of the literature.
Audience: The book is intended for psychologists, psychiatrists, and other therapists. Students of these disciplines will find it especially helpful as they attempt to figure out how to apply these treatments in a clinical setting. The editor is accomplished in the field and has gathered an A-list of contributors, including Tim Beck, Marsha Linehan, and Michelle Craske.
Features: What is immediately noticeable is that there is no wasted space in this book. The first chapter begins with treatments for panic disorder and the coverage of disorders and treatments never ceases through 16 chapters. These include panic disorder, social phobia, OCD, PTSD, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, substance abuse, eating disorders, sexual dysfunction, and couple distress. Although the structure of each chapter may differ somewhat, all generally contain an introduction to the disorder, including epidemiology, presenting features and diagnosis, initial assessment, and an overview of treatments and their efficacy. The latter part of each chapter consists of case examples that step through the treatment. Each session is discussed and sample dialogue is provided. In some chapters there are samples of assessment instruments, worksheets, and other tools used in session, and materials for the patient. For readers new to these treatments, information about the model and theoretical underpinnings is included. The chapter on PTSD has been expanded with a recent case from Iraq. Additionally, the substance abuse chapter has expanded to broadly cover multiple substances. A new chapter on behavioral activation in depression has been added, which is especially pertinent given other recent publications on behavioral treatments for depression. The numerous references provide starting points for even greater refinement of these techniques. The index is quite detailed and lengthy.
Assessment: This is an exceptional book for both the literature reviews of ESTs and the hands-on descriptions of these treatments. It will undoubtedly aid in the delivery of psychological treatment. In a body of literature replete with general comparisons, reviews, and meta-analyses, this book stands out as a truly practical step-by-step guide to the major psychological treatments currently available. Students of psychology, psychiatry, and related fields should embrace this in their training.
Journal of Clinical Psychiatry
"This book continues the tradition of previous editions by offering some of the most widely used treatment approaches, described in great detail by the developers of the protocols....How can we provide patients suffering from various mental health problems with the most rigorously studied, efficient, and effective treatments? How do we best offer trainees in psychology, psychiatry, and other disciplines, as well as experienced clinicians, direction in the application of such approaches? This book proffers an excellent answer to both questions."--Journal of Clinical PsychiatryFrom the Publisher

Each up-to-date chapter provides a comprehensive review of assessment and therapy methods. This fourth edition will be an indispensable resource for clinicians for years to come."--Michael E. Thase, MD, Department of Psychiatry, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic
"An outstanding resource. Each chapter presents a creative blend of theory, research, and practice, offering unique insights into the latest developments in evidence-based treatment. Barlow has assembled some of the most important authorities on psychosocial interventions to provide a comprehensive understanding of effective clinical practice. Our Counseling Psychology program has used the previous editions of this book in counseling practica and advanced intervention courses, and students were overjoyed to find a book that helped them make the transition from the classroom to the clinic. I have told psychology graduate students and psychiatry residents that if they could buy only one book on psychotherapy, this would be the one to buy."--Leonard A. Doerfler, PhD, Professor and Director, Counseling Psychology Program, Assumption College
"This latest edition of a classic continues the excellence of prior editions. Leading scientistclinicians review the best theory and research on the nature and treatment of a broad range of psychological disorders, providing an essential guide for students, faculty, and experienced practitioners alike.

Like its predecessors, the fourth edition is a boon to graduate teaching and learning and will make applying evidence-based approaches more accessible for practitioners."--Gerald C.
