The progress of a client during a therapy session is vital to recovery. However, it is just as important to prevent relapse while the individual is outside of the session. With this Dual Main Selection, mental health practitioners can contribute to an individual’s progress and prevent relapse.
Staying Well After Psychosis
Structured by wide-ranging theoretical and empirical evidence, this book provides new strategies for dealing with the problem of relapse in psychosis. It enables practitioners to design and implement a formulation-based approach to help clients diagnosed with schizophrenia and other related disorders.
Staying Well After Psychosis provides an overview of the structure style and organization of therapy. Specific cognitive and interpersonal strategies that the authors have found useful in their clinical and research experiences are detailed throughout.
The authors review how psychosis disrupts important developmental processes, and stalls or skews personal life trajectories. At the same time, psychosis appears to rise in a particular developmental context, suggesting that specific developmentally sensitive interventions need to integrate developmental tasks and transitions.
Staying Well After Psychosis focuses on all aspects of the therapeutic process of cognitive interpersonal therapy including:
• taking a developmental perspective on help seeking and affect regulation
• supporting self-reorganization and adaptation after acute psychosis
• understanding and treating traumatic reactions to psychosis
• working with humiliation, entrapment, loss and fear of recurrence appraisals during recovery
• working with cognitive interpersonal schemata
• developing coping skills in an interpersonal context
Provided within a framework for recovery and staying well that focuses on emotional and interpersonal adaptation to psychosis, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, and mental health professionals will find this easy-to-read manual a valuable resource in their work with adults and adolescents.

Using Homework Assignments in Cognitive Behavior Therapy
In its first volume, this book provides the theoretical and empirical basis for the use of homework in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). It offers support for the use of homework, models for practice, and systems for evaluating client compliance and therapist competence in administering assignments.
Focusing on the role of homework in cognitive therapy, it demonstrates successful methods of integration and discusses solutions to common barriers. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all, pre-designed tasks, the application of a model includes a detailed case study and recommendations for adjusting administration methods for particular problems and specific client populations.
This new volume presents strategies, techniques, and sample assignments that are tailored to specific populations, including children, older adults, couples, and families who face problems such as: anxiety and depression, chronic pain, delusions and hallucinations and marital and sexual problems, among several others.
With a full range of knowledge to successfully incorporate individualized homework assignments, this book brings into practice the proven long-term benefits of CBT. Using Homework Assignments in Cognitive Behavior Therapy summarizes key points from theoretical and empirical foundations for homework as well as innovations for clinical practice.
It suggests a greater focus on therapeutic collaboration and basing homework administration on conceptualization. The ‘model of practice’ provides a list of therapist facilitative behaviors theorized to encourage homework completion.
From case examples and clinical strategies to assessment measures, sample homework assignments and practice models, this text provides the practitioner with all the tools needed to incorporate homework into therapy practice.
