"An invaluable text for mental health professionals who want a
theoretical and pragmatic reference in their attempts to deal
effectively with managed care....This product is complemented by
contemporary clinical examples, giving the reader a sense of
empowerment about his or her own clinical potential as a cognitive
therapist... Whether readers are graduate students getting their
first exposure to cognitive therapy or seasoned professionals
wanting a refresher on cognitive theory, Dr. Beck's book will
satisfy all professional training needs." - Psychiatric Services"I
am a true fan (and 16-year adopter) of this text. Instructors,
students, and clinicians have been eagerly awaiting an updated
version of Beck’s classic guide to CBT and this second edition
should exceed their lofty expectations. It retains the clarity,
accessibility, thoughtful sequencing, and practical relevance of
the original, while enhancing coverage of critical content
pertaining to assessment, case conceptualization, core techniques,
and the therapeutic relationship. Attentive to both the art and
science of CBT, this volume is a 'must read' for graduate students
and clinicians who are looking to build or sharpen their CBT
skills." - Drew Erhardt, Pepperdine University, California, USA
"This book is well suited for teaching the basics of cognitive
therapy to students new to the field, or for providing a detailed
review for more seasoned professionals in your classroom.
Clinicians trained in other modalities will learn ways to use
cognitive techniques to help clients explore how their thoughts,
emotional reactions and behaviors are related – and to facilitate
change and growth. This is an essential text for cognitive therapy
courses." - Mark McGrosky, New York University, USA

Services"This lucid, informative book makes the job of
understanding cognitive therapy and how to apply it a good deal
clearer and easier. I look forward to assigning it to my graduate
students." - Gerald C. Davison, PhD
"A practical, no-nonsense text that is extremely conprehensive and
reader-friendly. Throughout the book, Ms. Beck offers clinical
examples taken from actual transcripts of therapy sessions that
clearly and practically illustrate each technique and concept...an
important, timely, and valuable resource for psychiatric
professionals who engage in formal cognitive behavioral therapy or
who practice cognitive behavioral techniques in other contexts.
This text provides a clarity of conceptualization and a review of
techniques that will prove extremely useful to students as well as
experienced therapists. This volume certainly will serve as the
basic text for cognitive behavioral therapists and should be
necessary reading for psychiatric professionals." - Journal of
Psychosocial Nursing, Nov. 1996
"An unusually detailed and clear description of Aaron T. Beck's
cognitive therapy, with some notable additions by his daughter and
colleague, Judith S. Beck. A definitive, comprehensive guidebook
that creatively covers the ground of cognitive-behavioral therapy."
