He is the originator of metacognitive therapy, a highly respected approach to understanding and treating psychological disorders. His publications include <i>Cognitive Therapy of Anxiety Disorders</i> (Wiley, 1997), which has become a benchmark text for therapists and <i>Metacognitive Therapy for Anxiety and Depression </i>(Guilford Press, 2008) the first treatment manual for MCT. He has published more than 200 scientific papers and articles.

<p><i>Treating Depression</i> provides a detailed description of contemporary cognitive behavioural approaches to understanding and treating depression. As well as traditional ‘Beckian’ CBT, chapters cover acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), metacognitive therapy (MCT) and behavioural activation, all of which have established an evidence base for their effectiveness with various mental health disorders.<br /> <br /> The book presents the theoretical background and evidence for each approach before moving on to describe the way in which it would be applied to a single case. This case is the same across all treatment chapters, allowing the reader to clearly appreciate the contrasting features of the treatments. Each treatment chapter can be used as a mini-manual for planning comparative trials and considering issues of treatment homogeneity, adherence and fidelity.<br /> <br /> The contributors to this volume are internationally renowned. Their expertise allows readers a comprehensive understanding of depression and its treatment, as well as clear and practical guidance on how to use each treatment approach. <i>Treating Depression</i> provides an invaluable text for students, clinicians and researchers looking for a single, comprehensive resource on leading, evidence-based approaches to depression.</p>
