    Introduction to This Book and the Take Control Course

    Abstract

    Interventions targeting processes that commonly maintain different psychological disorders have demonstrated promising effectiveness data. However, brief groups based on common process (or transdiagnostic) accounts are lacking. A brief transdiagnostic group, the Take Control Course, has been developed for clients with common mental health problems in primary care services. This manual provides a user-friendly and accessible guide to delivering the Take Control Course. Readers can also access presentations, worksheets, and other materials.

    In this chapter the rationale for developing a transdiagnostic group, like the Take Control Course, is described. Benefits of groups are outlined; for example, greater cost-effectiveness, and the helpful impact of recognizing that others have similar difficulties.

    Specific benefits of the Take Control Course are also outlined, including a format that allows clients to attend sessions in a flexible way. This promotes client control and reflects research indicating that psychological change happens at a different pace for different people.

    Introduction to This Book

    This book describes a group-based intervention called the Take Control Course. Chapters 2-4 provide background to the development Course and information about how to set up a Course. Subsequent chapters provide a detailed overview of each of the six sessions of the Course. The final section of the book (Part C) focuses on ways that facilitators can enhance their delivery of the Take Control Course.

    Why We Have Developed the Take Control Course?

    There are many Cognitive Behavioral interventions already available with a substantial number of research studies showing that these are effective (Butler, Chapman, Forman, & Beck, 2006; Hofmann, Asnaani, Vonk, Sawyer, & Fang, 2012; Hunsley & Lee, 2007; Stewart & Chambless, 2009). However, a number of large surveys indicate that many people do not receive psychological treatment even for common mental health problems, such as anxiety and depression (Alonso et al., 2004; Wang et al., 2005, 2007; Young, Klap, Sherbourne, & Wells, 2001). This suggests that there needs to be greater access to evidence-based psychological interventions. Psychological interventions need to be cost-effective in order to make it more likely that they can be made readily available. One of the reasons for the way we have developed the Take Control Course is on the basis of pragmatic reasons, such as cost-effectiveness, but there are a number of other equally important theoretical reasons why the Take Control Course has been developed in the way that it has. These reasons are summarized in this
