This approach emphasizes the individual's relationship to their experience rather than solely focusing on its content.

This more holistic approach taps into universal psychological processes, fostering a sense of empowerment and self-awareness.

Part one delves into the foundations of CBT, covering topics such as cognitive restructuring, exposure and response prevention, and social skills training. Part two examines specific therapeutic approaches, including metacognitive training, mindfulness, acceptance and commitment therapy, compassion-focused therapy, and the method of levels. Part three presents two critical perspectives: the first offering a reflection on the experience of receiving CBT, and the second exploring potential future developments.

This cutting-edge book is of immense interest to clinical and counselling psychologists, both practicing and in training, as well as psychiatrists, nurse therapists, occupational therapists, and other healthcare professionals working with individuals experiencing psychosis. By offering a comprehensive collection of theoretical, therapeutic, and critical perspectives, CBT for Psychosis: Process-Orientated Therapies and the Third Wave provides valuable insights and practical strategies for addressing the challenges faced by those with psychosis.
