| Summary: | COGNITIVE PSYCHOTHERAPY WITH SCHIZOPHRENIC PATIENTS explores the ways in which severe disturbances of cognitive processes--especially the collection and processing of information--manifest themselves uniquely in different patients, and shows how those distinctions can be utilized to realize therapeutic gains. Presenting a clinical theory for using cognitive psychotherapy with especially troubled patients, and providing detailed guidelines in techniques, the book examines cognitive psychotherapy both as part of a holistic, cognitive-based behavioral program implemented at small, community-based treatment centers and as individualized treatment of relatively young schizophrenic patients.
