There is a growing awareness of the need to address the psychological distress associated with physical ill health; however, current resources are limited and difficult to access.

The best way to tackle these issues is by enhancing the skills of those professionals who have routine contact with them. CBT provides the evidence-based skills that most readily meet these requirements in a time and cost-efficient manner. Based on materials prepared for a cancer Network sponsored training programme and modified to address the needs of a larger client population of people experiencing psychological distress due to physical ill-health, this innovative workbook offers a basic introduction and guide to enable healthcare professionals to build an understanding of the relevance and application of CBT methods in everyday clinical practice.

CBT for Chronic Illness and Palliative Care demonstrates how professionals can help people with a variety of problems to:
_ Challenge disempowering thoughts
_ Establish new personal goals
_ Confront fears using de-catastrophising techniques
_ Learn assertive skills and emotional expression methods
_ Develop pacing and purposeful planning skills
_ Follow a four-step programme to confront denial
_ Obtain many other benefits from using cognitive behavioural methods.
