Beschreibungen/Notizen
This article is divided into two parts, the first of which focuses on a general overview of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and provides a rationale for the use of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for IBS based on both theoretical and research perspectives. This section includes a critical review of CBT therapies for IBS and provides a model of CBT for IBS. The second section provides the clinician with practical information concerning the application of cognitive-behavioral group therapy for IBS. Possible scripts and case examples are incorporated into this section to highlight factors that may arise in working with IBS patients relative to other clinical groups. The second section also contains themes that are suggested content areas far group sessions. Contingent on the formulation of the presenting or emerging issues and goals, the order and inclusion of themes can be changed to fit the particular needs of a given group. Finally, this section provides initial preliminary data from a randomized controlled study that is suggestive of the efficacy of cognitive-behavioral therapy for IBS.
