Description
From leading experts in the field-a practicing clinical psychologist and a renowned psychotherapy researcher-this book synthesizes the evidence base for cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and translates it into practical clinical guidelines. The focus is how clinicians can use current research findings to provide the best care in real-world practice settings. Within a case formulation framework, core cognitive and behavioral theories and techniques are described and illustrated with vivid case examples. The authors also discuss managing everyday treatment challenges; separating CBT myths from facts; and how to develop a successful CBT practice and optimize the quality of services.
Reviews / Votes
"This guide provides an integration of recommended practices and up-to-date evidence for CBT across a range of disorders. Particular (and novel) strengths include accurate and brief summaries of the science concerning CBT, along with discussions of the nuts and bolts of setting up a practice, relevant cultural and contextual issues, and useful strategies in assessment and intervention. The book is clearly written and highly accessible. Dobson and Dobson are to be congratulated on doing exactly what the title suggests by providing a valuable, well-balanced introductory guide to science and practice."--Edward R. Watkins, PhD, Mood Disorders Centre, School of Psychology, University of Exeter, United Kingdom"A unique contribution to the clinical literature. This book provides valuable guidance on how to carry out CBT effectively. It would serve as an excellent text for courses on CBT for practicing clinicians. Cutting across disorders, Dobson and Dobson show how CBT can be used with virtually any client. They include valuable instruction on often-overlooked techniques, such as behavioral activation and social skills training. They also address challenges and controversies in clinical training and the dissemination of evidence-based practices. This is a book for everyone interested in the science and practice of CBT."--Deborah Roth Ledley, PhD, Children's Center for OCD and Anxiety, Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania
"Finally--a book that is actually written as a bridge between the science of CBT and real-world treatment. This is a comprehensive how-to volume that examines the issues of putting CBT into practice from stem to stern. The most useful CBT volume I've ever seen."--Peter J. Bieling, PhD, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioural Neurosciences, McMaster University, Canada
"Dobson and Dobson have provided a most comprehensive resource on the science and practice of cognitive-behavioral therapy. I believe this book will prove to be an invaluable resource for established clinicians who wish not only to enhance their working knowledge and understanding of CBT, but also to gain helpful techniques in general practice development."--Michael G. Wetter, PsyD, Chief, Adult Psychiatry Services, Kaiser Permanente Medical Center, Hayward, California "A volume that is relevant for all clinicians who embrace the scientist-practitioner model. It will be especially useful as an introductory text but should also offer something of interest to more expert practitioners. One of the biggest strengths of this book is that it contains an impressive amount of information, offering both breadth and depth....This book provides a practical guide to common elements of CBT for practitioners who are interested in making good use of available evidence to help their clients to get better. It offers information on which aspects of CBT are empirically supported, and tells readers how to use these with clients in their practice, as well placing CBT within a wider context."--Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy
