Product Description
Review
'A superb book ... The text contains a wealth of ideas and illustrative case material to help the (cognitive) therapist navigate patient and therapist patient resistances. It is destined to be a standard reference within the case conceptualization approach and is relevant for everyone practicing cognitive therapy.' - Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease
'Leahy's work will be a much-valued and practical addition to the bookshelf of CBT practitioners, and should be applauded for helping to establish resistance as an important area of inquiry on the CBT landscape.' - The Clinical Psychologist

Review
"This book fills a major gap in the cognitive therapy literature, one that may often account for failure to attain therapeutic goals. The author, while committed to a cognitive model, shows a willingness to mine other therapeutic traditions for ideas that cognitive therapists can use. He has developed a well-thought-through typology of types of resistance, and provides a richness of clinical example and precise formulations of actions the therapist can take to help the patient overcome each type. This book will be an excellent text in courses in all the therapeutic disciplines. It will be especially useful for students in such professions as social work, who will encounter many clients who are induced by environmental and socialization influences to erect barriers to change."--Charles Garvin, PhD, School of Social Work, University of Michigan
"For any cognitive-behavioral clinician who has ever asked, 'Why am I having such a difficult time helping my client change?', Leahy has provided an engaging, thought-provoking, integrative text that addresses this question most effectively. The text will appeal to therapists at all levels of experience, offering interesting variations on conceptual themes about why clients think and act in ways that maintain their problematic status quo in life, and in therapy. The book also succeeds in guiding therapists to assess and manage their own unwitting contributions to their clients' resistance, and thus become more adept in helping clients to progress."-Cory F. Newman, PhD, ABPP, Director, Center for Cognitive Therapy, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine
"Every so often, a clinical text is written that offers an innovative, rich perspective on a previously neglected problem of immense clinical importance. This volume achieves such heights. A 'must read' for any clinician who has been challenged by resistance in the therapy session, the volume is full of practical insight and treatment suggestions presented in

Format:Hardcover
Working with pain patients who are struggling with the balance between validitation and change, I found this book as an exellent quide to go through the process. As a training therapist I got a new view to see my patients. The part dealing with counterbalance and therapists own schemas was very good. It was nice to find out how we work with our own demanding standards, helplessness and so on.

Deeper understanding upon CBT
26 Nov 2003
Format:Hardcover
This book has outlined important resistence in using CBT for our clients. For experienced clinican, this book can remind us of the complexity of the therapy, and also other significant factors from the client, and ourselves, of course, in influenzing the outcome and process of the CBT. This book needs reading and re-reading to deeper introspection for our daily practice.
