Learn about this book

We are pleased to present this exciting new development in cognitive behavioral science. As we all know, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a powerful and evidence-based treatment for mental health conditions, and its applications continue to grow.

However, the proliferation of protocols targeting DSM-defined psychiatric disorders can make training difficult and limit the integration of research and clinical practice.

Featuring contributions from luminaries in behavioral science, Process-Based CBT embraces the behavioral, cognitive, and acceptance and mindfulness wings of this modality. It provides fundamental guidelines for integrating the philosophy and principles of these wings and traditions into a coherent approach to processes of change.

With this volume, students master the full range of core processes modified by CBT, and learn strategies for targeting these processes in practice for maximum efficacy.

If you’re teaching CBT, you need this definitive resource to keep in step with the latest advances in behavioral science.

There is an urgent problem of racial disparities in mental health care today. People of color are far less likely to seek help for psychological concerns, and more likely to experience poor outcomes if they do receive treatment. Furthermore, it has become increasingly clear that simply teaching facts about cultural differences is not adequate to ensure culturally responsive care. One must also consider less visible constructs—including intergroup anxiety, implicit bias, privilege, and intersectionality. So, how can students gain the in-depth knowledge and tools they need to effectively serve clients of color?

In this groundbreaking and much-needed volume, three leading experts in race, mental health, and contextual behavior science offer a comprehensive road map for addressing racial inequities in clinical practice. Students will find an overview of common treatment barriers, strategies for promoting client engagement, and innovative approaches for increasing diversity and inclusion in clinical training programs. Finally, students will discover a wealth of evidence-based recommendations and best practices for compassionately and effectively helping clients across a wide range of cultural groups and settings, leading to improved treatment outcomes.

Every client is unique, and each client’s problems are the result of a complex combination of biopsychosocial factors. However, the current DSM model poses considerable constraints on how professionals can treat clients—often resulting in a mistaken one-size-fits-all diagnosis. This important volume challenges the assumptions made by the DSM, and provides students with a vision and plan for an evidence-based, process-based approach to individualized care.

With contributions from renowned clinicians and researchers in the field, this book outlines strategies for treating a wide variety of psychological issues in a more flexible way. Students will gain a greater understanding of process-based case conceptualization, and learn how to build a solid foundation for a personalized but evidence-based alternative to syndromal diagnosis.
