More About the Author
Product Description
Review
"An invaluable text for mental health professionals who want a theoretical and pragmatic reference in their attempts to deal effectively with managed care....This product is complemented by contemporary clinical examples, giving the reader a sense of empowerment about his or her own clinical potential as a cognitive therapist... Whether readers are graduate students getting their first exposure to cognitive therapy or seasoned professionals wanting a refresher on cognitive theory, Dr. Beck's book will satisfy all professional training needs." - Psychiatric Services
"I am a true fan (and 16-year adopter) of this text. Instructors, students, and clinicians have been eagerly awaiting an updated version of Beck’s classic guide to CBT and this second edition should exceed their lofty expectations. It retains the clarity, accessibility, thoughtful sequencing, and practical relevance of the original, while enhancing coverage of critical content pertaining to assessment, case conceptualization, core techniques, and the therapeutic relationship. Attentive to both the art and science of CBT, this volume is a 'must read' for graduate students and clinicians who are looking to build or sharpen their CBT skills." - Drew Erhardt, Pepperdine University, California, USA
"This book is well suited for teaching the basics of cognitive therapy to students new to the field, or for providing a detailed review for more seasoned professionals in your classroom. Clinicians trained in other modalities will learn ways to use cognitive techniques to help clients explore how their thoughts, emotional reactions and behaviors are related – and to facilitate change and growth. This is an essential text for cognitive therapy courses." - Mark McGrosky, New York University, USA
Product Description
Written in a clear, step-by-step style, this ideal teaching text makes cognitive therapy immediately accessible to students, beginning therapists, and seasoned practitioners who are not familiar with the cognitive approach. The author presents many clinical examples drawn from one patient's treatment to provide a realistic and coherent demonstration of cognitive therapy in action. These examples illustrate how to conceptualize patients according to the cognitive model; plan treatment; conduct an initial session; structure therapy within and across sessions; incorporate homework; and use cognitive and behavioral techniques. Instructors will appreciate the text's emphasis on formulating cases, making decisions within therapy sessions, diagnosing problems in therapy, and using advanced techniques to modify core beliefs and underlying assumptions. Transcripts in every chapter richly illustrate the narrative, and the book includes a variety of patient worksheets. This book will be of value to students and therapists learning how to use cognitive therapy. It will also serve as a text in advanced graduate and graduate clinical psychology and psychotherapy courses.

Format:Hardcover
A concise and comprehensive book that provides a basic understanding of cognitive therapy
written by one of the leading cognitive therapists. Written with the beginner in mind, it is
the only book I have found that provides specific instructions in actually DOING cognitive therapy
with clients. Beck takes the reader from the initial session, through case conceptualization, specific
interventions, to terminitation. There is even a section on trouble-shooting that is especially
useful for students who may have little experience. One of the greatest benefits of the book is that it is
written like a manual that beginners can use as a foundation for developing their own style of
therapy. If you are a graduate student in a clinical training program, you should have this book whether
you conduct cognitive therapy or not.

Format:Hardcover
This is a superb book for therapists - experienced or novice - on the how-tos of doing cognitive therapy. It steps the reader through the basics, covers potential problems (from both client and therapist perspectives), provides advice on treatment planning and lists references for additional information on this effective form of therapy.

This is a great book. I'm training to become a cognitive behavioural psychotherapist and would recommend this book. Its academic but well written and easy to understand.
Its got good use of clinical examples. It was recommended on the uni reading list and I'm glad I bought it. It will be really helpful during my training but I'm sure it'll be a book a use throughout my career.
The book arrived quickly and was in good condition.
