This state-of-the-art volume synthesizes the growing body of knowledge on the role of distress tolerance - the ability to withstand aversive internal states such as negative emotions and uncomfortable bodily sensations - in psychopathology. Prominent contributors describe how the construct has been conceptualized and measured and examine its links to a range of specific psychological disorders. Exemplary treatment approaches that target distress tolerance are reviewed. Featuring compelling clinical illustrations, the book highlights implications of the research for better understanding how mental health problems develop and how to assess and treat them effectively. This book will be valuable reading for mental health practitioners in a range of disciplines; researchers in clinical and personality psychology and psychopathology; graduate students in these fields. It may also serve as a supplemental text in graduate-level courses.

Industry Reviews

"This important volume cogently describes the role of distress tolerance in psychological adaptation. It shows how learning to tolerate the distress associated with emotional learning is a hallmark of most empirically validated treatments. The editors and authors make a compelling case for this construct's pivotal role in psychopathology and in treatment research." - Zindel V. Segal, Cameron Wilson Chair in Depression Studies, University of Toronto, Canada "The first volume of its kind. The contributors are experts in their respective areas who provide valuable information on the nature and clinical relevance of distress tolerance. Illuminating the broad impact that distress tolerance and its associated features have on the development, maintenance, and treatment of psychological disorders, this text would be a welcome addition to the reading list of an advanced psychopathology course." - Shireen L. Rizvi, Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, USA
