This volume represents a major step forward in advancing the
understanding of delusions. - From the foreword by Aaron T.
Beck'The penultimate chapter presents and overview of Freeman and
Garety's updated model of delusion formation and maintenance. The
model is an attempt to integrate all their work on emotions and
cognitive biases, but also uses Maher's idea that delusions are
explanations of experience. ... The richness of the model may be
helpful to therapists planning interventions in that the model
suggests many areas that could be the focus of work.The majority of
chapters draw on material in already published articles, yet the
authors manage to bring these together by re-writing and adding
material, so producing a coherent whole. Whether one agrees or
disagrees with specific aspects of Freeman and Garety's model, this
book is a very important contribution, is presented with exemplary
clarity, and is work that researchers and practitioners will need
to know.' - John Rhodes, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, Haringey
