Excerpt
The authors begin this book with an important query: “Why should psychiatrists and other clinicians who prescribe medications consider using cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) methods in brief sessions?” They answer with a powerful litany. CBT methods in brief sessions help produce better outcomes, promote adherence, help control co-occurring or co-existing components of major syndromes, aid in preventing recurrences, and accomplish these goals in briefer times. Perhaps that says enough. But to further encourage readers to learn more, I will substantiate the authors’ rationale with additional perspectives. For brevity, I will focus on depression and bipolar disorders but fully recognize that the described CBT methods for brief sessions are applicable to other diagnoses as well.
