There are a number of books recently published on assessment scales for depression and anxiety. However, these books are generally more detailed than clinicians require, are specific to one or other condition, or involve specialty populations such as children or geriatrics. To meet the needs of clinicians treating patients with depressive and anxiety disorders, this volume aims to bring together empirically validated assessment scales. In a concise and user-friendly format, Assessment Scales in Depression and Anxiety illustrates the assessment scales used in clinical trials and research studies; shows how to select an assessment scale and to decide which scale to use for a particular clinical situation; and provides sample assessment scales for clinicians to use in their practice.

Theory, Research, and Treatment

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Molte persone hanno standard di comportamento così elevati da compromettere il proprio benessere psicologico e, molto spesso, anche i rapporti con le persone che hanno accanto. Questo libro, grazie a un’esposizione agile ma scientificamente rigorosa, consente di penetrare la complessità dei diversi fattori che caratterizzano il perfezionismo patologico. Vengono analizzati gli aspetti cognitivi e comportamentali alla base di questo atteggiamento di estrema rigidità verso se stessi e gli altri e, attraverso tecniche di comprovata efficacia clinica, vengono forniti gli strumenti per valutare l’intensità del proprio perfezionismo e per affrontare adeguatamente i problemi a esso associati. Una parte del volume è dedicata interamente alle possibili interazioni tra il perfezionismo e altri disturbi psicologici (come depressione, ansia, disturbi ossessivo-compulsivi, disturbi alimentari, fobia sociale, ecc.) e fornisce utili indicazioni terapeutiche per ognuna delle patologie trattate. Questa seconda edizione rivista e aggiornata affronta infine il possibile ritorno del perfezionismo e le strategie per debellarlo una volta per tutte.
