I can’t think of a better resource for therapists to learn the science and art of CBT. It is written so that CBT therapists at all stages of their careers can develop and hone their skills so as to best serve their clients.

As readers will be inspired to learn to become more effective CBT therapists, the authors are evidently master CBT therapists and trainers. The University of Oxford has a Professor of Clinical Psychology.

A guide to learning cognitive-Behavior Therapy. The second edition. There are core competencies in therapy. CBT principles, processes and interventions are summarized in an easy to read format. It is an introduction to CBT for psychiatrists and therapists who are new to it. Christine A. Padesky is a member of the Academy of Cognitive Therapy.

The second edition of the book is a superb manual for incorporating cognitive behavior strategies in everyday clinical practice. The guide is an essential reference for health care providers, who may understand when cognitive-behavior therapy is indicated and how it can be accomplished. The practical summary of the field is state-of-the-art and reflects the outstanding teaching experience of the authors. The Editor-in-Chief is Giovanni A. Fava. Psychosomatics and Psychotherapy.
