Personalized Exposure Therapy: A Person-Centered Transdiagnostic Approach

Autor Jasper A.J. Smits, Mark B. Powers, Michael W. Otto
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 oct 2019

În practica psihologiei clinice, deși dovezile privind eficacitatea terapiei prin expunere sunt copleșitoare, implementarea acesteia rămâne adesea rigidă din cauza manualelor standardizate. Personalized Exposure Therapy aduce o schimbare de paradigmă, oferind clinicienilor un cadru flexibil și transdiagnostic. Găsim în această carte o alternativă la protocoalele universale, punând accent pe personalizarea intervenției prin formularea specifică a fiecărui caz. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care autorii Jasper A.J. Smits, Mark B. Powers și Michael W. Otto reușesc să transforme teoria abstractă în instrumente gata de utilizat în cabinet.

Această ediție propune o structură de tip mentorat, unde procedurile clinice sunt detaliate prin scripturi și fișe de lucru concepute pentru a fi accesibile chiar în timpul sesiunilor individuale. Putem afirma că volumul depășește barierele tehnice ale expunerii clasice, integrând descoperiri de ultimă oră din științele cognitive pentru a adapta ritmul tratamentului la nevoile pacientului. Lucrarea completează excelent Clinical Guide to Exposure Therapy de Jasper A. J. Smits, care se concentrează pe comorbidități, adăugând aici un nivel superior de personalizare a momentului și naturii exercițiilor de expunere. De asemenea, față de The Big Book of Exposures, care oferă un catalog vast de exerciții, acest titlu oferă rigoarea metodologică necesară pentru a decide când și cum să aplicăm acele tehnici pentru rezultate optime.

Descriere

Evidence overwhelmingly shows that exposure therapy is effective for the treatment of anxiety and related disorders. Its adoption into clinical practice has been slow, however-in part because the available one-size-fits-all manuals often leave patients and clinicians unsatisfied. Personalized Exposure Therapy provides expert guidance to clinicians on conducting exposure-based interventions in a targeted and flexible fashion. Providing detailed information on a range of strategies for maximizing clinical outcomes from exposure, this book features a case formulation approach that personalizes the timing and nature of exposure practice. Case examples, scripts, and worksheets, presented in a practical, mentor-based format for planning and enacting individual sessions, ensure that clinical procedures are readily accessible for in-session use. Personalized Exposure Therapy is appropriate for early-career and experienced clinicians alike, and will also be suitable for use in graduate courses in clinical psychology, counselling, social work, nursing and psychiatry.

Recenzii

The text offers considerable detail on how exposure therapy can be individualized and adapted to many different situations. What is particularly interesting here is that the authors address ways patients can be helped to confront not only problem situations (for example, public speaking) but also problematic negative thoughts (for example, "People are not as caring as I want them to be") and memories (such as those associated with PTSD). Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals.
[This book] shares the secrets that every successful exposure therapist knows. The authors, rock stars of exposure therapy, explain the principles clearly, offer explicit guidelines to put them into action, and present clinical examples to bring these principles to life. This volume covers everything from assessment through treatment to termination, including suggestions of assessment instruments. It is very engaging, practical, and well written and details real life situations such as when medications are involved in exposure therapy. Every clinician who treats a patient with anxiety should read this cover to cover, and it will help them provide better treatment for the rest of their therapeutic lives.
Personalized Exposure Therapy belongs in the hands of every clinician who wants to treat fear-based disorders successfully. In clear language, Smits, Powers, and Otto bring the principles of exposure therapy to life, with compelling case examples and a clearly articulated rationale. Clinicians of all levels will find a wealth of useful, practical information in this book.
This book describes cutting-edge advances in cognitive science and integrates them with what is known from intensive clinical study to help clinicians design and provide the kind of treatment patients with anxiety disorders most need. At every step, the conceptual understanding is grounded in the examples, scripts, and handouts that make this book 'session ready' for clinicians and their patients. Unlike some manuals, this book is not a session-by-session treatment manual. Instead, it provides a comprehensive perspective on the principles and procedures behind exposure interventions.
