Medical Psychotherapy is part of the on-going Oxford Specialist Handbooks in Psychiatry series. The book provides an accessible account to the wide range of psychological therapies for doctors and allied health professionals.Medical Psychotherapy draws together succinct descriptions of the major models of psychotherapy, written by specialists who offer an accessible, theoretical, and evidence based depiction of each therapy and its clinical role for patients. Written by the foremost voices on psychotherapy in the UK, this handbook will appeal to specialist trainees in psychiatry and consultants working in psychotherapy, along with psychologists, and allied health professionals.

Advance Praise: Sometimes talking therapies can be cheap, cheerful and effective. And sometimes they can be complex, difficult and also effective. Medical psychotherapy is more of the latter than the former, and we need it more than ever. It is not just for treating patients, but also for supporting the health and wellbeing of everyone who works in the NHS, something that is more necessary than ever before. Medical psychotherapy is the heart and soul of psychiatry, and this book explains why. * Professor Sir Simon Wessely, President Royal College of Psychiatrists *
