{"product_id":"decoding-delusions-9781615372959","title":"Decoding Delusions","description":"For the individuals experiencing them, delusions and strong                        beliefs can be profoundly distressing and extremely limiting to healthy                        living. They also present significant challenges to the mental health                        professionals working with these individuals—not least because there is not                        always consensus around what might be considered delusional. For the                        first time, Decoding Delusions gathers the literature and treatment                        guidance materials related to delusions in one place to offer clinicians an                        up-to-date, culturally informed, and illustrated guide to managing the                        spectrum of delusions and other extreme beliefs encountered in daily                        practice.   In Part I, chapter authors define and assess delusions,                        examining the current research literature into their linguistic and cultural                        aspects, as well as the history of their treatment. Crucially, it also                        provides a lived-experience perspective.   Part II features the insights                        of a series of international experts on interventions—including third-wave                        cognitive-behavioral models such as compassion-focused therapy—for                        delusional presentations that include the following: • Persecutory                        paranoia• Delusional jealousy• Erotomania• Capgras                        syndrome• Delusions of thought possession• Trauma as a pathway to                        delusions Readers also will find a nuanced discussion of working with                        patients from Japanese backgrounds that will enhance their cultural                        competency and encourage them to think about extreme beliefs through a                        cultural lens.   In Part III, the chapter authors explore the management                        of delusions in specific settings. Examples include delusions in forensic                        settings and use of remote technologies such as Zoom and digital media for                        measurement-based care. Finally, live-action demonstrations of key clinical                        skills at work are provided through video clips.   Unlike any other                        resource currently available, Decoding Delusions proposes an approach                        that supports the exploration of extreme beliefs with the aim not only of                        distress reduction but also meaningful recovery.","brand":"American Psychiatric Association Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51116088885536,"sku":"9781615372959","price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781615372959.jpg?v=1781221477","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/decoding-delusions-9781615372959","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
