In their established guide to contemporary CBT theory and practice, the authors show how therapeutic change takes place across a network of cognitive, emotional and behavioural functioning. They explain the central concepts of CBT and illustrate - with numerous case examples - how these can effectively be put into practice at each stage of the therapeutic process. They also explain how the essence of cutting edge 'third wave' can be integrated into everyday clinical practice.
With two new chapters on mindfulness and increasing access to CBT, a wider coverage of client issues, extra case studies and learning resources, and a discussion of recent developments, this book continues to be the ideal companion for those working - or training to work - in the psychological therapies and mental health.
Frank Wills is an independent Cognitive Psychotherapist in Bristol and tutor at the University of Wales Newport.

Book will be an additional and welcome advisory to the psychosocial interventions unit currently offered. It may also be considered as one that could be utilised in the pre-registration nursing (mental health) programme.
The book is a very nice foundation for the introduction of CBT. However, the specific topic of my course is CBT in chronic pain. There are some hints to CBT in chronic pain in the book, but no detailed descriptions for this topic. Therefore, the book is recommanded for the first part of the course, but only supplementary for the detailed seminars for specific syndromes (i.e. fibromyalgia, migraine, chronic back pain etc.).
A comprehensive review of CBT theory and practice
An excellent updated overview of the shape of current CBT. I'm recommending this as a core-text for our PGC CBT course.
This is a really good book that addresses much of the curiculum of the CBT modules we offer.
I personally liked the level of detail and applicability to practice of the content. This book will be of use for novice and experienced practitioners and I feel it is a good resource for any therapist.
This has been added to our recommended reading list for our CBT unit. It covers many areas of our curriculum area in an easy to follow text.
An interesting book for use in therapeutic interventions session with students. A little advanced for 2nd year student nurses (which is the module i use it for), but very good for informing assignments and when in practice. Some students who have an interest in the topic area have really found it useful. I will continue to take it to the session for people to look through and make their own decision.
this book provides student midwives with an introduction to the CBT. this is something that has increasing coverage and will be something that many patients will be experiencing. This book will enhance the student undersatnding and can only enhance the impact of care provision for the maternity services
We will add this to the essential reading for Year 1
