Reviews

In this well-organized and informative volume, Hofmann and Tompson have succeeded in their goal of creating a single highly accessible resource that can promote the dissemination of effective treatment technologies to direct practitioners who work with consumers who have some of the most challenging and personally and socially costly psychiatric disorders....the book resonates with social work perspectives and professional values. Within each group of major disorders, the editors have included interventions that address different system levels (individuals, families and larger social systems), theoretical perspectives (e.g., cognitive, systems, social learning), and focal concerns (e.g., cognitions, social skills, motivation)....Another welcome emphasis from the perspective of social work values is the attention to engagement and the working relationship in each of the interventions....an excellent resource which will serve to inform our practices. As social workers, we have a professional and ethical responsibility to be knowledgeable about, and gain competence in, the delivery of effective interventions. We must also actively advocate for the use of empirically supported treatment technologies throughout the mental health system. This text certainly gives us some tools to achieve these goals. -- Clinical Social Work Journal <br> <br> This is a well-researched, carefully edited and very useful technical handbook for clinicians, researchers and students providing psychological treatment to those individuals with chronic and severe mental disorders. The editors have successfully drawn together a fine international team ofwriters, mostly psychologists and psychiatrists, to create a text that nevertheless sustains unity of style and conveys a sense of shared purpose. The chapters nicely balance theory and research, [while] maintaining an unequivocal focus on practice, and it is hard to fault....Some of the chapters stand out as models of clarity and helpfulness....the text would be useful for psychologists, psychiatrists and other mental health specialists, working in community or institutional settings. It would be valuable to novice clinicians developing their skills under expert supervision, as well as in providing established clinicians with an evidence base for their practice. In my view, it is the best text of its kind currently available, and I recommend it without reservation. -- Metapsychology <br> <br>, .. selects and presents evidence-based strategies from a veritable 'Who's Who' in psychological treatments for schizophrenia, mood disorders, and substance use and personality disorders. Each disorder-based section is prefaced by an overview of phenomenology, epidemiology, and currently accepted theories of pathogenesis, while individual chapters outline specific clinical strategies in a well-organized, readable fashion. Frequent case examples and learning exercises illustrate concepts, while sections on curriculum development, commonly encountered problems, and empirical findings maintain a consistency of style and content throughout. -- Journal of Clinical Psychiatry <br> <br> [This book] reflects an important development in contemporary clinical psychology: the continuing effort to establish a scientifically defensible basis for judgingthe effectiveness of treatments for a diverse range of psychopathologies....For those readers who want an informed contemporary accounting of some of the most promising psychosocial treatments for disorders for which psychosocial treatments have not before been widely available, this would be an excellent choice. -- The Clinical Psychologist <br> <br> Hofmann and Tompson have assembled here an exceptional slate of expert authors, who have written uniformly clear, well-organized, and informative reviews aimed broadly at practicing clinicians and students alike. -- Journal of Psychosomatic Research <br> <br> The clinician will find in it an updated reference on state-of-art psychological treatments for severe--and common--mental disorders....The book is nicely printed and bound with the usual austere presentation of other Guilford classics....a valuable and useful book. -- The Human Nature Review <br>
