PMC Theory bridges the gap between psychotherapy process research, and the demands of practical real-world therapy. The result is a new non-medicalising conception of clinical psychological problems. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePMC Theory allows the development of reliable CBT-based assessment, case formulation, and therapy selection. This ensures more effective practical interventions that are easily understandable, and complementary to the allied fields of medicine, psychiatry, and counselling. The theory is conceptually consistent, clinically-focused, and uses the huge evidence base available in the CBT literature. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSince the first release of his ground-breaking clinician manual Practical CBT, Gary's work has been in constant demand. This new edition further develops the theoretical basis of the PMC model by describing a grand unified theory .
