Cognitive Behaviour Therapy in Nursing Practice

This is a manual on integrating cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) into advanced practice psychiatric nursing. The distinguished authors provide an overview of CBT, how it fits into nursing practice and theory, and chapters on psychiatric conditions most commonly treated with CBT. Those conditions include depression and anxiety, as well as chronic pain and substance abuse. The special issues of working with families, couples, the elderly, and groups are described. The contributors include Sister Callista Roy and Bruce Zahn. This is a valuable text for students, as well as a reference and resource book for clinicians.
