Trial-Based Cognitive Therapy (TBCT): Distinctive Features by
Irismar Reis de Oliveira is an outstanding contribution to CBT. It
is abundantly clear from the beginning chapter that the author is a
master clinician. De Oliveira has developed an innovative,
powerful, structured approach that can help clinicians change
problematic styles of thinking and behaving. This volume is written
in a highly accessible and scholarly manner, while providing the
reader with countless clinical techniques and examples. Anyone
interested in the new frontiers of cognitive therapy will benefit
from reading this book and using the creative ideas that are
expressed here. I highly recommend this creative new addition to
the cognitive therapy library for clinicians at all levels of
expertise. - Robert L. Leahy, Ph.D., Director, American Institute
for Cognitive Therapy"One of the challenges faced by every CBT
therapist is working with patients whose harsh inner critic appears
unrelenting and impervious to CBT change techniques. Such patients
can appear destined to remain caught in an unending cycle of
self-reproach, anger, shame, and ineffective problem-solving
strategies. Trial-Based Cognitive Therapy targets these processes
in a compassionate and innovative manner. Irismar Reis de Oliveira
writes in a clear, wise, and accessible voice, as he concisely
outlines a treatment model that effectively integrates experiential
techniques into the more rationalist Beckian tradition. This book
will likely appeal to therapists of all persuasions. Highly
recommended." - Scott Temple, Ph.D. Clinical Professor, Department
of Psychiatry, University of IowaTrial-Based Cognitive Therapy:
Distinctive Features provides a first class accessible introduction
to Dr Irismar Reis de Oliviera’s recently developed innovation in
CBT. Despite the book’s brevity – a requirement for Professor
Dryden’s ‘Distinctive Features’ series – there are surprisingly few
sacrifices in comprehensiveness, covering theory, research and
practice. The book is therefore more than just an overview, but a
successful integration of a complex model, giving not only
conceptual clarity, but also enabling intending practitioners to
see how the method can be used, step by step, with clients. TBCT
adds a powerful, evidence-based addition to methods for dealing
with one of the most difficult challenges in CBT – core belief
change. - Professor Peter Trower, PhD, FBPsS, School of Psychology,
University of Birmingham Trial-Based Cognitive Therapy represents a
new generation of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) that has its
foundation in CBT’s core tenets and adds a rich overlay of theory,
strategy, and technique. Trial-Based Cognitive Therapy: Distinctive
Features is a must-read for clinicians who deliver CBT with
sophistication and innovation to clients with entrenched beliefs
about themselves, others, or the world around them. - Amy Wenzel,
