"Newcomers to cognitive therapy should appreciate the introduction to and overview of Beck's therapy. Afford and Beck present 10 axioms of cognitive therapy. This formalization of the axioms of cognitive therapy is sure to find its way into many lectures on cognitive therapy to undergraduate and graduate students. Therapists from other theoretical schools may find the discussion of two clinical disorders (panic disorder, schizophrenia) from the cognitive perspective to be an engaging and enlightening introduction to the applications of cognitive therapy. Readers who are cognitive therapists will also enjoy the book...Another group of readers who will value the book are those seeking an introduction to the psychotherapy integration movement...The book is concise and clearly written. The authors present their arguments in a clear and well-organized manner...I will be sure to keep the book on my shelf as a reference to the formal axioms of cognitive therapy and the overview of the psychotherapy integration movement." --"Contemporary Psychology"
