Kognitive Verhaltenstherapie bei Depressionen

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment for depression. The treatment program by Martin Hautzinger sets the standard and draws from the richness of modern psychotherapy for depression. In addition to classic cognitive-behavioral interventions, the concept also integrates elements from schema therapy, CBASP, metacognitive and mindfulness-based approaches, as well as methods for emotion regulation. The manual provides a detailed and easily understandable description of practical procedures and answers key questions: How do you build a therapeutic relationship with a depressed person? How do you encourage them to engage in positive activities? How can the thoughts of depressed patients be changed? How can social skills be improved? What should be done in crises and setbacks? How are recurrent and chronic depressions treated? The manual is applicable in both outpatient and inpatient settings. Numerous working materials support the management of various severity levels and forms of depression.
