The Oxford Specialist Handbook of Medical Psychotherapy covers all aspects of the psychiatric specialty of medical psychotherapy, including the role of the medical psychotherapist, key features of the main therapeutic models, and the research evidence for the efficacy of different psychotherapies across the range of psychiatric disorders and patient populations encountered in mental health settings. It details the theoretical concepts, techniques, mechanisms of change, empirical evidence, and training required for each of the major models of psychotherapy—psychoanalytic, cognitive behavioural, systemic, and group—as well as other therapeutic modalities most commonly available within the National Health Service in the UK.
