Forty-one specialists in cognitive psychotherapy, from the U.S., Canada, and Europe, contribute 21 chapters tracing its history and derivation, and recent developments in the field. Topics
include cognitive models of depression, the mood-state hypothesis, an integrative schema-focused model for personality disorders, constructivism and cognitive psychotherapies, the repair of
memory, and an investment model of depressive resistance. Several chapters focus on the application of cognitive psychotherapy to treat such disorders as anxiety, social phobia, posttraumatic
stress arising from childhood sexual abuse, stress management, HIV-positive depression, and anorexia nervosa and bulimia. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
