Publisher's Synopsis

Part One covers general issues and includes chapters on: The Evolution of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (Stanley Rachman) ; The Foundations of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (Michael Gelder) ; Information Processing Biases in Emotional Disorders (Andrew Mathews) ; The Relationship Between Cognition and Emotion (John D Teasdale) ; Efficacy and Dissemination of Psychological Treatment (David H.
