Chapter 5.Delusions
Sections
Excerpt
This chapter provides a description of the key elements involved in treating delusions with CBT. First we discuss how the general features of CBT can be employed to decrease delusional beliefs. We then explore how the classic definition of delusions may need revision if the clinician seeks to use cognitive-behavioral methods to induce change. The main emphasis of the chapter is on describing and illustrating specific CBT methods for modifying delusional beliefs in schizophrenia. Guidelines are also provided for dealing with resistant delusions and delusional beliefs in mood disorders.
