Carcione, Antonino; Nicolo, Giuseppe; Semerari, Antonio

In addition, this book:

• Provides an overview of pre-treatment phase procedures such as assessment interviews
• Explains the Metacognitive Interpersonal Therapy (MIT) approach and summarizes MIT clinical guidelines
• Outlines pharmacological treatment for patients with PDs
• Includes checklists and other useful resources for therapists evaluating their adherence to the treatment method
