A useful and current guide to CBTJuly 30, 2001 25 out of 26 found this review helpful
This book has 21 chapters, collectively covering the areas in which cognitive therapy is used to treat psychological distress. Some of the chapters are more interesting than others. The majority have a clear focus on clinical research. In places practical applications are covered, for example the chapter on social phobia has an excellent case study at the end. This is not the case for all chapters. For example, the long chapter on eating disorders seems to assume prior knowledge.
All in all the book really does bring you up to date and opens your mind to the numerous domains that cognitive therapy can be applied. Each chapter is also well referenced so that you can follow up as required.
The reader desiring a more clinical feel however may prefer Clarke and Fairburn's 'Science and practice of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy'. Although the book under review is more comprehensive the Clarke and Fairburn book is more clinical.
