Problem-Solving Treatment for Anxiety and Depression: A Practical Guide

Laurence Mynors-Wallace ... has written a very accessible and immensely practical book which guides the reader through what problem-solving therapy is, the evidence for its effectiveness, the specific difficulties that might be faced in trying to do it and finally how to teach it. (British Journal of Psychiatry)

Dr Mynors-Wallis has done a commendable job writing a pragmatic manual that makes PST a very real option for primary-care practitioners treating patients with common mental disorders. Although its focus is mainly primary care, there is much here that anyone involved in the treatment of people with mental health problems will find useful. In fact, it is probably true to say that the skills taught in this book can be of use to all of us. I have found myself over the past 2 months frequently delving into my bag to pull out my now tattered copy to recommend it to colleagues. (Psychological Medicine)

This is the idiots' guide to problem-solving. A short and sweet book in an easy-to-understand format, clearly structured with good little summary boxes dotted throughout. (British Journal of General Practice)

The book give a detailed description of the stages involved in problem-solving and takes the reader through several practical examples. It is therefore very useful for a practitioner who wishes to learn these skills. (Update)
