Bøker av Michael J. Scott

The author is in his 90th decade. Throughout his long life dealing with many different types of people he wondered how it was that some people having the worst of starts in life, with poverty and abuse as their companions achieved their own success whilst others who were born with the proverbial silver spoon in their mouths failed completely in their goals. The research into the causes took nearly 30 years. This book is the result.

This book fills a gap for a practical, authored CBT text that covers all post-trauma responses - PTSD and its co-morbidities - and how they affect and relate to one another.

Research shows that cognitive behaviour therapy is an effective treatment for common mental health disorders of mild to moderate severity. This book is suitable for therapists using CBT with a range of disorders including: depression panic disorder and agoraphobia, post-traumatic stress disorder, and generalised anxiety disorder.

The effects of extreme trauma can continue to be emotionally devastating. This book provides survivors, family members and friends with a roadmap for managing emotional, relationship, physical and legal obstacles to recovery.

Maps out how to therapeutically treat sufferers of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) using a cognitive behavioural approach to treatment. Covering the spectrum of post-traumatic states, this book outlines a range of techniques for counselling clients who have suffered major trauma.

Offering conceptualizations of many common client problems, this book develops the cognitive-behavioural counselling approach. It elaborates the specifics of tackling problems as diverse as surviving in a family with a personality disordered member and post-traumatic stress disorder.
