TOWARDS A REFINEMENT OF COGNITIVE THERAPY IN LIGHT OF INTERPERSONAL THEORY .2. PRACTICE

This article is the second of a two-part series on the refinement of cognitive behavioral theory and practice in light of interpersonal theory. Building upon the theoretical framework outlined in the first paper, a number of suggestions are provided for systematically integrating therapeutic concepts and intervention strategies derived from interpersonal theory with the practice of cognitive therapy. Similarities and differences between the current perspective and certain developments in contemporary interpersonal and psychodynamic thinking are discussed, and suggestions for future research are provided. © 1990.
