Product Description
Review
"Anyone who wants to find out about Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and how to apply it in practice need look no further. The second edition of Beck's excellent, bestselling book provides an easy-to-follow, step-by-step guide to delivering the various elements of CBT. The book offers a comprehensive introduction for those new to CBT, with illustrative case examples throughout; it is also an essential resource for experienced cognitive therapists who want to brush up on their knowledge and skills. It should definitely be a core text in every CBT training program." - Alison Brabban, Durham University, UK
"When I want students to learn how to conduct cognitive therapy, Cognitive Therapy: Basics and Beyond is the first book I assign. Before I assigned this book for the first time, I reread it to make certain it was as useful as I remembered. It was – and to my surprise, I even found that many of what I had come to think of as my own special insights in training supervisees were actually right there on the page. When students have mastered this text, Judith Beck's Cognitive Therapy for Challenging Problems is a natural (and useful) next step." - Thomas L. Rodebaugh, Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, USA
Product Description
The leading text for students and practicing therapists who want to learn the fundamentals of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), this book is eminently practical and authoritative. In a highly accessible, step-by-step style, master clinician Judith S. Beck demonstrates how to engage patients, develop a sound case conceptualization, plan treatment, and structure sessions effectively. Core cognitive, behavioral, and experiential techniques are explicated and strategies are presented for troubleshooting difficulties and preventing relapse. An extended case example and many vignettes and transcripts illustrate CBT in action. Seven reproducible clinical tools can also be downloaded and printed in a convenient 8 1/2" x 11" size (www.guilford.com/p/beck4). New to this edition:
- reflects over 15 years of research advances and the author's ongoing experience as a clinician, teacher, and supervisor
- chapters on the evaluation session and behavioral activation
- increased emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, building on patients' strengths, and homework
- now even more practical: features reproducibles and a sample case write-up.
This book will be invaluable to clinicians and graduate students in all of the mental health disciplines, including clinical psychology, social work, psychiatry, and counseling. It will also serve as a text in graduate-level CBT and psychotherapy courses.

Your new Psychotherapy "Play-Book"
14 Nov 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Judith Beck's book is like a playbook for psychotherapy. Imagine a football team where the coaches never drew up plays and the quarterback never established any expectations about what would happen after the ball was snapped. What is the common factor in sports teams that don't develop a cohesive strategy and don't collaborate and work together on common goals? They lose. They fail to achieve their objectives. They're left sad and burned out watching others win championships.
The same holds true for psychotherapy. Offering support, building a relationship or "establishing rapport" is only one piece of an effective game plan. Psychotherapists who line up for their sessions unprepared and without a plan or coherrent case conceptualization are doing a serious disservice to those they are suppose to serve. They are setting themselves up to be in situations where they hope to connect on Hail Mary passes or complete next to impossible 50+ yard field goals. Ultimately, their sessions may fail to rise to "greatness."
Good sports teams not only focus on the fundamentals, they execute on their gameplans as opposed to simply talking a good game. A good therapist should also have a "game plan."
You can now get 12 Continuing Education credits from PsychContinuingEd com for reading the book Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Second Edition: Basics and Beyond
(book sold separately here at Amazon). The quiz is based on the latest version published in July, 2011.
This is not a boring, overly theoretical workout like some books tend to be. This is a "psychotherapy playbook" packed with useful techniques and guidance on how to structure the entire course of Cognitive Behavior Therapy.
[Judith Beck uses the term "Cognitive Behavior Therapy" as opposed to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Her father, Aaron Beck, began by using "Cognitive Therapy." Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) now tends to refer to a collection of similar approaches to CT]. Learn more about CE credits for this book at PsychContinuingEd com
