It assumes nothing and offers the basics of the CBT process. It then leads readers through each successive stage of developing skill and confidence in their ability as clinicians. Clearly written, useful, and filled with the tips and direction that comes from skilled practitioners, it makes the process of therapy understandable. I plan on adopting this volume as a text for my first year doctoral practicum students."--Arthur Freeman, EdD, ABPP, Behavioral Science Book Servicereg; Advisory Board Member "Many young clinicians are quite knowledgeable about research and clinical treatment protocols--but less sure about how to be a clinician. This book fills an important gap in the professional development of new practitioners. The authors provide a detailed, step-by-step guide to how to practice cognitive-behavioral therapy in the real world. Readers will benefit immensely from the book's specific ideas about case conceptualization; sample patient-therapist exchanges; troubleshooting tips; and guidance for continuing to develop one's professional skills and identity. An invaluable resource."--Robert L. Leahy, PhD, Department of Psychiatry, Weill Medical College of Cornell University "How timely that this book arrived on my desk as I was searching yet again for the right text for my course on cognitive and behavioral practice for second-year MSW students! This volume fits the bill in addressing many of the issues that challenge beginning clinicians in general, and social workers in particular, in learning CBT. The step-by-step approach, extended case example, and sample dialogues make the text very appealing for trainees early in their careers. Similarly, the checklists of strategies and the diagrams of CBT models are easy for readers to use. I only wish this text had been available years ago."--Gail Steketee, MSW, PhD, Boston University School of Social Work "I wish this book had been available when I was a young clinician!"--Jacqueline B.

This book should be required reading for any beginning graduate course in CBT....4 stars!"--Doody's Electronic Journal, "A useful resource to accelerate the learning process by providing a practical and detailed 'how-to' guide that prepares the beginning therapist for all phases of CBT, from the first phone call to providing booster sessions. This text is easy and enjoyable to read.
