‘This book is a state-of-the-art guide for the clinician conducting cognitive-behavioral therapy. The great value of the cognitive-behavioral approach is that it is strongly grounded in empirical studies of processes and the effectiveness of treatment. This book reflects the scientist-practitioner model of this approach. Each chapter is written by a leading authority in the field. I found it especially helpful that each author provided a strong theoretical and clinical formulation that then guided treatment recommendations. The reader will find this book to be an excellent and up-to-date integration of the best in theory, research and clinical practice.’ – Robert L. Leahy, President-Elect, International Association for Cognitive Psychotherapy and Editor, Journal of Cognitive Psychotherapy: An International Quarterly

‘This book captures the essence of good Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, which is the skilful blending of guiding theory, focused techniques and clinical flexibility.
