A must-read for practitioners of cognitive behavioral therapy

This is one of those books that I regret not having when I was beginning with cognitive behavioral therapy. The authors synthesize all the crucial information to help therapists make CBT work. Readers will dramatically increase their comfort, confidence, and outcomes with delivering CBT. I used this book with graduate students I supervised and they loved it!

Great Book! Easy read!

I have really enjoyed this book so far. It has been an easy and interesting read.

Clear Theoretical Writing

As a clinical doctoral student in psychology, this book was very helpful in presenting me with clear theoretical background in working with a variety of clients. I found the bibiography especially useful since it helped me to further focus on certain populations that I could try CBT with as my theory of choice.

A simple, yet good overview

Although this book is by no means an in-depth review of cognitive behavioral therapy, it is a great resource for new practitioners and those looking to learn cognitive-behavioral techniques for the first time. The author does a good job at describing a step by step approach that includes everything from assessment of an individual to terminating therapy. Overall, this book is a great resource for graduate students, but may be too simple for more advanced practitioners.

A Nuts-And-Bolts Resource for the Beginning CBT Clinician

Much more practical that Dr. Beck's "Basics and Beyond" work, this book breaks down the CBT process into bite-sized pieces so that even the most novice of practioners can get their head around this highly effective, yet complex mode of treatment.

The authors are cogent in their explanations and illustrations of concepts. This book is the perfect introduction to CBT and will allow the practioner to benefit from more advanced resources, such as those offered by Dr. Robert Leahy (resources I highly recommend).

First class resource. A must have.

reviews: page 1, 2

A highly practical guide for beginning therapists, this concise primer fills the gap between academic training and what clinicians need to know for day-to-day work with clients. Illustrated are the "whats," "whens," and "how-tos" of the entire process of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)--from intake, assessment, case conceptualization, and treatment planning, through conducting sessions, making the most of supervision, and termination. Interwoven with an extended case example is expert guidance on confidentiality, informed consent, recordkeeping, and report writing, and on managing relationship issues and common problems that arise in CBT. Invaluable appendices point the reader toward additional resources, including empirically supported treatment manuals, journals, and websites.
