The Process-Based Therapy Workbook for Clinicians: Targeting the Core Processes in Psychological Change

Step-by-step guidance for implementing process-based therapy in practiceEvidence-based mental health treatments--including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)--have long been defined in terms of scientifically validated protocols focused on syndromes.

This groundbreaking book offers concrete strategies for adopting a process-based approach in your clinical practice, and provides step-by-step guidance for formulating effective treatment plans.Written by renowned psychologists Steven C. Hayes and Stefan G. Hofmann, this manual will show you how to utilize the core competencies of process-based therapy (PBT) in a way that honors the behavioral, cognitive, and acceptance and mindfulness wings of CBT and builds bridges to other models. In the book, you'll find a comprehensive road map to the theoretical foundations of PBT, as well as techniques for creating customized treatments that address the unique needs of each client--leading to better therapeutic outcomes. Whether you're a clinician or student of the behavioral sciences, this book has everything you need to understand and implement PBT in your work.
