Therapie-Tools Störungsmodelle in der Verhaltenstherapie

Models of development and maintenance explain how mental disorders arise and why they persist. They are therefore a central part of psychoeducation for therapists. These models also inform the interventions for patients. Additionally, they form the basis for relapse prevention.

This volume of the Therapy Tools series explains the disorder models in cognitive behavioral therapy for all relevant mental disorders, including depression, anxiety disorders, and addiction disorders. The models are first briefly presented and explained for both therapists and patients. With the help of worksheets, an individual model can then be collaboratively developed and tested in everyday life. This allows for the identification of suitable starting points for effective treatment in therapy.

Models for anxiety disorders, adjustment disorders, affective disorders, dissociation, eating disorders, personality disorders, PTSD, schizophrenia, sleep disorders, pain disorders, sexual dysfunctions, somatoform disorders, addiction disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorders.
