Product Description

Review
`a well-presented account... The authors manage to convey what this approach is like when used by skilful practitioners. This is valuable because much of the formal literature on cognitive-behavioural work is rather abstract, giving the reader who is unfamiliar with the approach little clinical feel for the work' - British Journal of Medical Psychology

`This is the most explicit and clearest guide to the practice of cognitive-behavioural therapy that I have yet found... the authors provide a concise, yet detailed, step-by-step introduction... invaluable to a beginner and useful to many. I found particularly useful and clear their systematic treatment of types of emotional cognitions with appropriate interventions... I shall recommend it without hesitation to my trainee clinical psychologists' - Behaviour Research and Therapy

`a practical guide to conducting counseling with an individual client from the initial interview to termination... should be extremely useful for the individual who has some background in cognitive-behavioral theory but who needs a step-by-step guide for implementing the theory in practice, interviewing clients, doing a cognitive assessment and performing the treatment interventions' - Contemporary Psychology

`This is the most explicit and clearest guide to the practice of cognitive-behavioural therapy that I have yet found... the authors provide a concise, yet detailed, step-by-step introduction... invaluable to a beginner and useful to many. I found particularly useful and clear their systematic treatment of types of emotional cognitions with appropriate interventions... I shall recommend it without hesitation to my trainee clinical psychologists' - Behaviour Research and Therapy

This eminently practical guide is designed for trainee and practising counsellors and other professional helpers involved in cognitive-behavioural counselling. The authors trace the steps appropriate at different stages in the counselling process, constantly relating practice to theory. They show how the counsellor can help the client to change, and to learn to take over the whole method of change, in order to cope independently.

The step-by-step guide is backed up by easily accessible resource material, particularly on the two most important aspects of cognitive-behavioural counselling: methods of intervention and the setting of homework. Finally, guidance is offered on its application to specific emotional problems: anxiety, depression, anger/aggression, shame and guilt.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Cognitive Approach, 27 Nov 2002
By Mrs Karen L Aitken (Manchester, Lancashire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This book did meet the aims I set it, as I have a much better understanding of the Cognitive-Behavioural approach now. I feel I have grasped the workings behind this previously unknown theory, as I come solely from a Person Centred background. This book is clearly set out with good structure and takes you through the different stages of the CBC process. This includes an opening phase with induction and exploration, a middle phase with initial cognitive assessment and initial cognitive intervention and closing phase with homework and boundary conditions.

The methods used are interesting and well described. I found the ABC form quite confusing. I appreciate it is often good for the client to see what behaviour they are displaying, but thought the titles used were a little harsh e.g.. dysfunctional thoughts/images, functional alternative thoughts/images.

I felt uneasy when the counsellor would talk about the clients dysfunctional behaviour. This I found to be judgemental. CBC is advertised as primarily Person Centred based using many of the skills i.e.. reflecting, challenging, listening, focusing but at times it didn't sit well with me.

The case study with Andrew was extremely helpful at cementing in my mind what the counsellor is trying to achieve. As just firing out what should and shouldn't be done at different phases of the counselling is futile, but reading what Andrew said and how the
counsellor interacted made it much more real.

I feel the authors of this book worked well together at explaining and putting into practice his theories.

Overall, I very much enjoyed reading the book. I would recommend other Counselling Diploma students to read this book. It could open their eyes to a whole new world.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cognitive-Behavioural Counselling in Action, 23 Feb 2006
This book begins with an overview of Cognitive-Behavioural C and then leads the reader through the various stages of the CBC process using Andrew - a fictitious client as a case study to enable the reader to see how the CBC model of counselling works in practice. The framework of the model centres areound educating the client in the theory and method of CBC so that he can firstly gain understanding of his difficulties and then "take the initiative in assessing and resolving them" (page 38).

PartII considers ways of challenging and changing maladaptive thinking. The setting and completing of homework tasks between counselling sessions is a fundermental part of CBC and homework is also included here.

Part III considers the application of the CBC Model to specific emotional problems and includes seperate chapters on anxiety and depression.

The format of the book is clearly defined and enables the reader to locate specific areas of CBC quickly and easily. The use of a fictitious client case study shifts CBC theory to a working model of counselling and gives the reader insight into how it is used within the counselling session. CBC is a very structured model of counselling and this quickly becomes evident to the reader.

The book is well written and easy to read. The theory of CBC is clearly explained and easy to follow. The book gives a very good introducion to CBC and is suitable for both trainee CBC counsellorsand qualified counsellors who are not trained in CBC but who wish to learn the basic skills of the model
