Cognitive Therapy for Psychosis provides clinicians with a comprehensive cognitive model that can be applied to all patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia or related disorders in order to aid the development of a formulation that will incorporate all relevant factors. It promotes an understanding of an individual's difficulties within a cognitive framework, illustrates the process of assessment, formulation and intervention and highlights potential difficulties arising from work with patients and how they can be overcome.

Illustrated by excerpts from therapy sessions, this book digests scientific evidence and theory, but moreover provides clinicians with essential practical advice about how to best aid people with psychoses in reducing their distress and improving their quality of life.
