Transdiagnostic Group Therapy Training and Implementation: The Take Control Course

by Lydia Morris, Phil McEvoy, Tanya Wallwork

Transdiagnostic Group Therapy Training and Implementation provides clinicians with a user-friendly roadmap for delivering a brief, transdiagnostic group therapy that can be used for patients suffering from stress, depression, anxiety, and a range of other related mental health problems. This is supplemented by over an hour of training videos hosted on the book’s companion website, visually demonstrating how to effectively implement the therapy. The book introduces the empirical research that has led to a greater emphasis on transdiagnostic treatment approaches, and details how to implement each phase of the therapy, supported by clinical examples to make practical application easier.

[Richard Pfau · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an excellent guide for developing and conducting a six-session course aimed at helping people control their lives better to reduce distress and anxiety they are experiencing. Clear guidelines are provided as is access to supportive videos, slides, and handouts for use when conducting the course. The course is aimed for use with groups of people in primary-care contexts and seems to be a cost-effective, relatively brief, transdiagnostic approach that focuses on a small number of simple concepts that "ring true" with clients.
