Summary:Reviews research on the effectiveness of psychological treatments for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), describes the basic requirements for a thorough psychological assessment, and then provides detailed short-term treatment manuals for the 3 major modalities shown to be most effective for this population: (1) cognitive therapy; (2) cognitive-behavioral therapy; (3) and hypnotherapy. Session-by-session treatment plans for each of these therapies include the rationale for the session, goals and objectives, structured activities, and homework assignments. Also provided are assessment forms, symptom diaries, cognitive monitoring forms, and educational handouts. Instructions for modifying the 3 treatments for use with the individuals and with groups are provided as well as helpful advice for collaborating with gastroenterologists and other referring physicians.
