Product Description

Review

"This book is an invaluable text for the clinician new to clinical work or new to cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). It assumes nothing and offers the basics of the CBT process. It then leads readers through each successive stage of developing skill and confidence in their ability as clinicians. Clearly written, useful, and filled with the tips and direction that comes from skilled practitioners, it makes the process of therapy understandable. I plan on adopting this volume as a text for my first year doctoral practicum students."--Arthur Freeman, EdD, ABPP, Behavioral Science Book Service® Advisory Board Member

"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 Medical College of Cornell University

"How timely that this book arrived on my desk as I was searching yet again for the right text for my course on cognitive and behavioral practice for second-year MSW students! This volume fits the bill in addressing many of the issues that challenge beginning clinicians in general, and social workers in particular, in learning CBT. The step-by-step approach, extended case examples, and sample dialogues make the text very appealing for trainees early in their careers. Similarly, the checklists of strategies and the diagrams of CBT models are easy for readers to use. I only wish this text had been available years ago."--Gail Steketee, MSW, PhD, Boston University School of Social Work

"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

Product Description

A highly practical guide for beginning therapists, this concise primer fills the gap between academic training and what newly-minted 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, recordkeeping, 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a book in PLAIN English, Oct 18 2005
By K. R. Moore - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Making Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Work: Clinical Process for New Practitioners (Hardcover)
This book is not only easy to read, but you learn so much information and actually understand it. It is difficult to find a book that teaches new practitioners technique without going over their heads. Great Job on this one! I am recommending for all of my classmates in our Masters Program.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-read for practitioners of cognitive behavioral therapy, Feb 10 2006
By Larina Kase - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Making Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Work: Clinical Process for New Practitioners (Hardcover)
This is one of those books that I regret not having when I was beginning with cognitive behavioral therapy. The authors synthesize all the crucial information to help therapists make CBT work. Readers will dramatically increase their comfort, confidence, and outcomes with delivering CBT. I used this book with graduate students I supervised and they loved it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Nuts-And-Bolts Resource for the Beginning CBT Clinician, Dec 5 2006
By Rocco B. Rubino "Rocco R." - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Making Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Work: Clinical Process for New Practitioners (Hardcover)
Much more practical that Dr. Beck's "Basics and Beyond" work, this book breaks down the CBT process into bite-sized pieces so that even the most novice of practioners can get their head around this highly effective, yet complex mode of treatment.

The authors are cogent in their explanations and illustrations of concepts. This book is the perfect introduction to CBT and will allow the practioner to benefit from more advanced resources, such as those offered by Dr. Robert Leahy (resources I highly recommend).

First class resource. A must have.
