Report

"-detailed description of use as individual therapy will be new and unique and valued as will the section on working with patients on medication. This book will be useful for clinicians in practice as well as trainees in psychological grad school."-Mark Pollack, MD
"I recommend publishing this book for the reasons outlined above. The authors are leaders in CBT and have developed a text that is based on the latest research while keeping in mind that patients present differently, thus requiring an intervention that meets their needs and preferences. How to refine CBT applications to best work with patients to help them achieve their goals is what this book is all about."-Jasper Smits, PhD, professor of psychology, U Texas at Austin.
