Metacognitive Therapy for Anxiety and Depression

"""The procedures Wells 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, University College London, UK ""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 (MCT) 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, University of Texas at Arlington, USA ""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...Should prove to be a valuable tool for graduate training across the professional disciplines."" - Steven D. Hollon, Vanderbilt University, USA ""Clinicians who read this revolutionary book will be able to utilize techniques found nowhere else."" - Robert L. Leahy, Weill Cornell Medical College, New York Presbyterian Hospital, USA ""MCT is a new and novel treatment and an exciting addition to the third wave of behavior therapy...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.'"" - PsycCRITIQUES"
