Synopsis

A highly practical guide for beginning cognitive-behavioral therapists, this concise primer fills the gap between academic training and what clinicians need to know for day-to-day work with clients. Illustrated are the whats, whens, and how-tos of the entire process of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) - from intake, assessment, case conceptualization, and treatment planning, through conducting sessions, making the most of supervision, and termination. Interwoven with an extended case example is expert guidance on confidentiality, informed consent, record keeping, and report writing, and on managing relationship issues and common problems that arise in CBT. Invaluable appendices point the reader toward additional resources, including empirically supported treatment manuals, journals, and websites.

Media Reviews
Many young clinicians are quite knowledgeable about research and clinical treatment protocols - but less sure about how to be a clinician. This book fills an important gap in the professional development of new practitioners. The authors provide a detailed, step-by-step guide to how to practice cognitive-behavioral therapy in the real world. Readers will benefit immensely from the book's specific ideas about case conceptualization; sample patient-therapist exchanges; troubleshooting tips; and guidance for continuing to develop one's professional skills and identity. An invaluable resource. - Robert L. Leahy, PhD, Department of Psychiatry, Weill-Cornell University Medical College, New York, USA

I wish this book had been available when I was a young clinician! - Jacqueline B. Persons, PhD, San Francisco Bay Area Center for Cognitive Therapy, USA
