Building on their pioneering research, the authors have written a practical and enormously useful guide to implementing the effective methods of cognitive therapy. Rich with clinical wisdom, the book includes step-by-step instructions that will be helpful to experienced clinicians and students alike. Read this book. I predict it will transform your approach to treating patients with schizophrenia. --Jesse H. Wright, MD, PhD, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of Louisville School of Medicine Kingdon and Turkington show students and mental health practitioners how exciting and hopeful cognitive therapy can be when working with people with schizophrenia. The book provides detailed information about the complex and debilitating symptomatology experienced by persons with schizophrenia, helping readers to increase their understanding and empathy. Unlike any other source, the book teaches how cognitive therapy can be used to work with the beliefs that clients have about distressing symptoms. The authors clearly demonstrate how a collaborative formulation allows individuals to test out the validity of their beliefs and better cope with or recover from schizophrenia. Graduate programs in the core mental health professions should make this book required reading. --Deborah Allness, MSSW, University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Social Work

State-of-the-art treatment guide includes graduate students in the core mental health professions. Accordingly, this book should be purchased by health sciences libraries supporting graduate mental health education as well as practitioners whose work focuses on the rehabilitation of the severe mentally ill. -- E-Streams <br> This exciting and sensitive book would stretch any reader's appreciation for the possibilities in working with patients with serious mental illness. The accessibility of content in this well organized book makes it an important resource for students and clinicians.....5 Stars! -- Doody's Electronic Journal <br> There are many wonderful aspects to this book that make it a compelling and absorbing read for any clinician who treats schizophrenia patients....The chapters are rich in the phenomenology of schizophrenia and ring true to the realities of clinical work with this population....the book should be required reading for all clinicians who provide psychotherapy to individuals with schizophrenia. -- The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease <br> A very welcome addition to our developing knowledge of cognitive therapy in schizophrenia. It is readable, logical and clinically driven and will be useful to clinicians of a wide-ranging level of experience....Integrative and open-minded. I would certainly recommend this book to aspiring cognitive therapists who want to work in schizophrenia. -- Primary Care and Community Psychiatry This comprehensive guide shows unity of theme and purpose and provides a framework for administering evidence-based CT of schizophrenia....This reasonably priced book is an excellent--and, I would add, essential--resource for any mentalhealth professionals working with schizophrenia. -- Canadian Journal of Psychiatry Providing useful tools such as handouts to use in therapy as well as concisely described psychological theory, Cognitive Therapy of Schizophrenia is both practical and scientifically rigorous. Highlighting empirical support for their approach, the authors present clinically applicable concepts and provide readers with optimism about connecting with patients suffering from schizophrenia. We commend the authors for their thorough review and recommend this book to all clinicians who wish to expand their therapeutic skills in the treatment of schizophrenia spectrum disorders. -- Journal of Clinical Psychiatry<br> The book reflects the authors' considerable experience disseminating this therapeutic approach for wider application in mental health settings. -- Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy Kingdon and Turkington...successfully present a cogent, approachable, and flexible model for psychotherapeutic engagement of persons suffering from serious psychotic illness....There are many clinical examples, guidelines, forms to use, and even patient handouts that can be copied and distributed are included. The succinct review of the psychology of schizophrenia is particularly useful....I urge you to please buy and read this book. Our patients deserve our attention to these issues. Those of you who are talented clinicians but who avoid this population out of confusion or lack of confidence in your ability to help will, I assure you, find this book crucial. You will find yourself able to approach a person with schizophrenia with confidence, and it will change how you think about your work. -- PsychiatricServices
