Cognitive Behavior Therapy in Nursing Practice
"Cognitive Behavior in Nursing Practice edited by Sharon Morgillo Freeman and Arthur Freeman is a wonderfully unique and welcome addition to nursing texts. This book provides practical approaches to many different client situations where behavioral change is the focus of care. The authors carefully articulate the theoretical rationale and evidence-based outcomes in the use of CBT by nurses in varieties of situations. Constructs from several theories provides a unique synthesis for the application of the technique. The chapter addressing substance misuse situations is particularly well presented and since this problem is so widespread, it will be useful to many nurses. The book overall is carefully constructed and proceeds from the general to the particular which illuminates the why as well as the what and how of application of theory. I applaud Dr. Freeman for her wonderful work in forwarding the use of evidence-based intervention strategies in nursing practice Bravo."- Merry Armstrong, DNSc, ARNP Associate Professor of Nursing Washington State University Intercollegiate College of Nursing
