En una época en la que crece la demanda de asistencia sanitaria mientras que los recursos disponibles son escasos, los procedimientos diagnósticos y los tratamientos tienen que sujetarse a estrictos controles que evalúen su eficacia, efectividad y eficiencia. En esta obra, indispensable para psicólogos, médicos de familia, psiquiatras o estudiantes, y para todos aquellos interesados en la utilidad de los tratamientos psicológicos y en las estrategias más adecuadas para tratar un gran número de problemas psicológicos según la investigación empírica más actual, se recoge una singular, extensa, ordenada y rigurosa revisión de la investigación realizada hasta hoy sobre la eficacia de los tratamientos psicológicos. Es una obra singular por ser la única publicación en español con sus contenidos, y sólo existen algunas referencias comparables en inglés. En los tres volúmenes que la componen se hace un recorrido por los trastornos más importantes, tanto psicológicos como físicos, en los que los tratamientos psicológicos han mostrado algún grado de utilidad o, incluso, en algunos casos, se han demostrado esenciales y sin alternativas válidas. El orden de la exposición se ha realizado según unos criterios comunes para enjuiciar la eficacia de los tratamientos, de acuerdo con las pautas marcadas previamente por los editores. Es destacable el rigor con el que se aborda la evaluación de la eficacia de los tratamientos. Un tema tan controvertido no puede ser objeto de un análisis simple, por lo que en el primero y el último capítulos se someten a análisis y crítica las posiciones más importantes que se mantienen sobre la evaluación de los tratamientos. Cada uno de los tópicos ha sido desarrollado por auténticos especialistas en el tema. Este primer volumen está dedicado al ámbito adulto, y en él se revisan los tratamientos psicológicos eficaces para los dieciséis trastornos más caracterizados en la clínica actual, entre ellos la esquizofrenia y los trastornos de la personalidad.

This book presents a new approach to understanding the history and practice of cognitive-behavior therapy by presenting country profiles in 38 countries located around the world. The objectives of this edited volume are to provide a broad understanding of the practice of CBT internationally as well as country specific practices that will provide researchers and practitioners with important information for consideration in the application of CBT. The book begins with an introductory chapter by the editors that discusses the history of CBT and the efforts to globalize and disseminate the science and practice of CBT as well as the unique cultural and international variables. The subsequent chapters offer detailed country profiles of the history and practice of CBT from around the globe. More specifically, chapters will provide an overview of the country, a history of psychotherapy in the country, current regulations regarding psychotherapy provision, professional and cognitive behavior therapy organizations, training opportunities/programs in CBT, populations most frequently worked with using CBT in the country, the use and adaptation of CBT, the research on CBT in the country, and CBT with special populations (children, immigrants, HIV+, etc). Many of the nations represented are the most populous and influential ones in their respective regions where CBT has been incorporated into psychotherapy training and practice. Taken as a whole, the countries are quite diverse in terms of sociocultural, economic, and political conditions and the impact of these variables on the practice of CBT in the country will be discussed. The final chapter of the volume offers a summary of the patterns of practice, integrating the main findings and challenges and discussing them within a global context. A discussion of the vision for next steps in the globalization of CBT concludes the book.

Too many juvenile delinquents persist in their offending into adulthood. They constitute a major burden for individual victims, for businesses and the justice system, all contributing to the total cost of crime for society. Focusing on the transition between juvenile offending and adult crime, this book examines research based on Dutch, European and North-American studies on the persistence and discontinuity of offending between late adolescence and early adulthood. Presenting empirical studies showing why persistence or discontinuity take place, the book provides up-to-date information on preventive and remedial interventions to promote discontinuity of offending amongst young adults. From the same team who produced 'Tomorrow's Criminals', this book will be a valuable resource for criminologists, criminal justice professionals, psychologists, sociologists, and psychiatrists interested in juvenile and young adult offenders, as well as those interested in what makes career criminals and youth who reform.

This book shows how psychological and social interventions can help people with psychosis. It brings together both theoretical chapters that contribute to the reconceptualization of psychosis and clinical cases illustrating how contemporary psychotherapeutic intervention models can be applied in the treatment of this mental health condition, with reflections, strategies and practical guidelines demonstrating how these models can inform professional practice in mental healthcare. Chapters brought together in this volume aim to reflect a paradigm shift in psychosis care. They present person-centered models that lead to a way of seeing, understanding and treating psychosis that is very different from the traditional biomedical model. Current authors and approaches are revolutionizing an outdated model trapped in purely pharmacological actions and tautological explanations of a biological nature, where symptom control is the basic and fundamental form of approach, and in which psychotherapeutic actions take second place as subsidiary to the former. Approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Acceptance and Recovery Therapy by Levels, Open Dialogue, Compassion-Centered Therapy or the Hearing Voices movement, to name but a few of those presented in this book, represent a journey of self-knowledge and learning for those recovering from psychosis, and have an intense transformative potential for the therapeutic team. The fundamental principle that guides this book is to share models belonging to psychology that aim at personal development while respecting the needs, values and goals of each person, and that can be adopted by any professional or student of clinical psychology, psychiatry, nursing, social work or any other discipline searching for more humanistic approaches to treat psychosis.
