In sum, MCT is a new and novel treatment and an exciting addition to the third wave of behavior therapy....Serves as a repository/summary of [Wells'] work to date-a treatment manual that combines his theories, conceptualizations, assessment measures, and interventions into a cohesive approach....Therapists trained in more traditional CBT will undoubtedly be very interested in how some of the MCT techniques might work with their current patients who are seemingly 'stuck' using more traditional cognitive techniques., In sum, MCT is a new and novel treatment and an exciting addition to the third wave of behavior therapy....Serves as a repository/summary of [Wells'] work to date--a treatment manual that combines his theories, conceptualizations, assessment measures, and interventions into a cohesive approach....Therapists trained in more traditional CBT will undoubtedly be very interested in how some of the MCT techniques might work with their current patients who are seemingly 'stuck' using more traditional cognitive techniques., "In sum, MCT is a new and novel treatment and an exciting addition to the third wave of behavior therapy....Serves as a repository/summary of [Wells'] work to date-a treatment manual that combines his theories, conceptualizations, assessment measures, and interventions into a cohesive approach....Therapists trained in more traditional CBT will undoubtedly be very interested in how some of the MCT techniques might work with their current patients who are seemingly 'stuck' using more traditional cognitive techniques."--PsycCRITIQUES, "Wells has written a very important book, rich in clinical understanding and practical guidance. Metacognitive therapy is based on a well-developed and thoroughly tested model that addresses core disordered processes, including attentional bias and rumination. The procedures he describes will be enormously useful to therapists of all persuasions, and can form the bedrock of low-intensity and high-intensity interventions for a wide range of disorders."--Chris R. Brewin PhD, Department of Clinical, Educational, and Health Psychology (Emeritus), University College London, United Kingdom " Metacognitive Therapy for Anxiety and Depression offers a strategy for addressing those well-learned and hard-to-fix thinking patterns that can be tough to change. As a clinician who has struggled with helping people work through dysfunctional thinking patterns, I can appreciate the usefulness of Wells's methods. Metacognitive therapy helps both the patient and the therapist take a step back from the sometimes repetitive work of cognitive therapy, and lends a new perspective with the potential for breaking through treatment roadblocks. Well done!"--Monica Ramirez Basco, PhD, Associate Director for Science Policy, Planning, and Analysis, Office of Research on Women's Health, National Institutes of Health "The metacognitive model is based on years of research on the nature of different levels and processes of thinking underlying psychological disorders. Clinicians who read this revolutionary book will be able to utilize techniques found nowhere else. Intriguing, creative, and effective clinical strategies are illustrated with clear case examples that demonstrate how to modify recurrent patterns of rumination, worry, and overreliance on problematic processes of thinking. Chapters on specific disorders provide tools and conceptualizations that take the cognitive model in new and exciting directions. I highly recommend this brilliant contribution."--Robert L. Leahy, PhD, Department of Psychiatry, Weill Cornell Medical College, New York Presbyterian Hospital "This book presents a new and innovative approach that focuses on how patients think, as much as what they believe. It is firmly grounded in basic science and packed full of powerful clinical strategies for helping people change the way they think. Wells shows how attention training and detached mindfulness techniques can be applied to a full array of anxiety and depressive disorders with impressive and lasting results. His approach will appeal to clinical practitioners, students, and mental health researchers alike, and should find widespread acceptance in the clinical community. It should prove to be a valuable tool for graduate training across professional disciplines."--Steven D. Hollon, PhD, Gertrude Conaway Vanderbilt Professor of Psychology, Vanderbilt University, This book will be relevant and of interest to psychologists, psychiatrists, and other mental health care workers, as well as students of these disciplines....4 Stars!, "Wells has written a very important book, rich in clinical understanding and practical guidance.

Synopsis
This groundbreaking book explains the "whats" and "how-tos" of metacognitive therapy (MCT), an innovative form of cognitive-behavioral therapy with a growing empirical evidence base. MCT developer Adrian Wells shows that much psychological distress results from how a person responds to negative thoughts and beliefs -- for example, by ruminating or worrying -- rather than the content of those thoughts. He presents practical techniques and specific protocols for addressing metacognitive processes to effectively treat Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, and major Depression. Special features include reproducible treatment plans and assessment and case formulation tools, plus a wealth of illustrative case material., This groundbreaking book explains the "whats" and "how-tos" of metacognitive therapy (MCT), an innovative form of cognitive-behavioral therapy with a growing empirical evidence base.

    Mistakenly ordered a paperback that I thought was a hardcover, not sellers fault; it was described properly on the listing. Seller still processed a refund the day I went to return the item and let me keep the item anyway. A+++ service. Book arrived quickly in great condition and for a great price. Thank you so much! Amazing seller!

    seller was communicative about my shipment, media mail took a while and tracking wasn't updated frequently, but seller communicated to me very quickly on status. the item came new and wrapped as described, though the packaging in it was packed wasn't sturdy and falling apart when it got to me.
