Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Second Edition: Basics and Beyond

Essential reading for any CBT therapist. I'm training to be a therapist and this book is ideal. It's clearly written, quite basic and straight to the point but that's what makes it so readable.

Essential book for anyone! I had bene reading the previous version and thought i may as well purchase one rather than continuously borrowing from my supervisor! Takes you back to basics, walks you through all aspects of CBT therapy

A fine outline of mainly the Beckian CBT approach - all the basic theory and techniques are here....if you are learning CBT it would be a very useful addition, especially in how to conduct structured sessions.

This book does an excellent job of presenting the key elements of CBT in a clear and concise way that is easy to read and digest. It offers plenty of examples and models how to use CBT in practice. An essential book for any clinician or professional aiming to embrace CBT in their practice.

I’m astounded at how quickly this excellent book was delivered during these tough times. Excellent service, excellent book!

Very very well written book. Fantastic introduction to anyone starting CBT. Highly recommend

This is an extremely informative CB therapist's guide and no more than you would expect from one of the greats! Brilliant read and an absolute must have. Thank you

Lots of relevant information and plenty of examples of how to use the techniques

Authoratative introduction to CBT with core examples of how to conduct CBT therapy, with transcripts of sessions, demonstrating concepts in action.

En somme, il s'agit d'un bon livre pour débuter la pratique des TCC. Je ne lui trouve pas de réelle valeur ajoutée par rapport à d'autres livres en français ce qui peut dissuader les non anglicistes. Il reste un manuel de référence, très clair. Ceux qui souhaitent se perfectionner davantage devront se focaliser sur des ouvrages plus spécifiques.

This was one of the first books I had to read when learning about CBT. So far, I constantly refer to it when I publish, or just to keep fresh in the basics of this amazing form of Therapy. Both beginners and experts can benefit by it. The book is very clear, and well structured. A definite must for cognitive practitioners.

Judith Beck's book is like a playbook for psychotherapy. Imagine a football team where the coaches never drew up plays and the quarterback never established any expectations about what would happen after the ball was snapped. What is the common factor in sports teams that don't develop a cohesive strategy and don't collaborate and work together on common goals? They lose. They fail to achieve their objectives. They're left sad and burned out watching others win championships. The same holds true for psychotherapy. Offering support, building a relationship or "establishing rapport" is only one piece of an effective game plan. Psychotherapists who line up for their sessions unprepared and without a plan or coherrent case conceptualization are doing a serious disservice to those they are suppose to serve. They are setting themselves up to be in situations where they hope to connect on Hail Mary passes or complete next to impossible 50+ yard field goals. Ultimately, their sessions may fail to rise to "greatness." Good sports teams not only focus on the fundamentals, they execute on their gameplans as opposed to simply talking a good game. A good therapist should also have a "game plan."

This is a "psychotherapy playbook" packed with useful techniques and guidance on how to structure the entire course of Cognitive Behavior Therapy. [Judith Beck uses the term "Cognitive Behavior Therapy" as opposed to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Her father, Aaron Beck, began by using "Cognitive Therapy." Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) now tends to refer to a collection of similar approaches to CT]. Learn more about CE credits for this book at PsychContinuingEd com
