Behavioural Psychotherapy: A Handbook for Nurses

Aimed at psychiatric nurses undergoing supervised training as well as practitioners requiring a reference to the subject, this book has been written to reflect the changes in the training syllabus for psychiatric nurses and to provide a summary of the "state-of-the-art". The first part deals with the theoretical model which behavioural psychotherapists use; the second part deals with interviewing, assessment, planning, evaluation and implementation; the third part describes the authors' treatment approach to generalized anxiety problems, phobias, obsessive and compulsion, and sexual diversity and dysfunction; and the fourth part looks to the future development of behavioural psychotherapy, and the future of nursing within it.
