It will be of value to both clinicians and researchers and will promote the psychological understanding and treatment of psychosis" - Tony Morrison, Professor of Clinical Psychology, University of Manchester, UK "This is a very comprehensive volume that raises our awareness of the application of CBT to understand and treat psychosis in its many forms. It should be available to all who study and treat such disorders and will no doubt stimulate the reader to examine the possible benefits of this treatment of schizophrenia and other psychoses." - Richard M. Steinbook, MD, The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, Volume 200, Number 9, September 2012 "This exceptional book contains state of the art theory, research, and therapeutics of CBT for psychosis.

Steinbook, MD, The journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, Volume 200, Number 9, September 2012 "This edited book is a timely and useful contribution to the literature on theory and practice in cognitive behaviour therapy for psychosis (CBTp). The majority of chapters are written by the leading experts in the field and, as such, provide the latest models and research findings in the area, together with details of the treatment approaches and case examples." - Louise Johns, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Journal, Vol 40, No 4, 2011 "This book provides a compelling case for a psychological view of psychosis that can influence current treatments and future research. I suspect that many of these ideas will be new to mental health professionals in the United States. The chapters need not be read in succession or in total, as many provide a succinct overview that can stand alone." - American Journal of Psychiatry, November 2011 "As every chapter is written by a different set of experts in each respective area, CBT for Psychosis is packed full of insult and truly is excellent for a full understanding of the area. Every detail is in as much detail and written with as much knowledge as the next, it is almost like having a room full of lecturers discussing a topic in their area of expertise. Despite this, the book maintains a good flow and is very easy to read. This is aided by the very helpful visual representations of models that are of great help to a reader as it complements the text, and allows for a better understanding [...] CBT for Psychosis is a excellent and very informative book about an exciting new area if psychology. Stuffed full of insight, a strong scientific base and a keen eye on the future, this book is as interesting as it is indespensable for anyone with a keen interest in CBT for psychosis." - Marie Sara Louis, Clinical Psychology Forum, British Psychological Society Online Show Less
