Cognitive Therapy: Basics and Beyond

"This is a superb book for therapists - experienced or novice - on the how-tos of doing cognitive therapy. It steps the reader through the basics, covers potential problems (from both client and therapist perspectives), provides advice on treatment planning and lists references for additional information on this effective form of therapy."

"A concise and comprehensive book that provides a basic understanding of cognitive therapy
written by one of the leading cognitive therapists. Written with the beginner in mind, it is
the only book I have found that provides specific instructions in actually DOING cognitive therapy
with clients. Beck takes the reader from the initial session, through case conceptualization, specific
interventions, to terminitation. There is even a section on trouble-shooting that is especially
useful for students who may have little experience. One of the greatest benefits of the book is that it is
written like a manual that beginners can use as a foundation for developing their own style of
therapy. If you are a graduate student in a clinical training program, you should have this book whether
you conduct cognitive therapy or not."
