Already a tried-and-tested guide for trainee psychologists and psychotherapists, as well as clinicians in mental health services and private practices, this text is also of value to practitioners who need refresher courses in CBT.
Useful for students wishing to develop their knowledge and use of CBT in applied contexts (such as treatment of depression and so on), rather than generic skills.
A really helpful book for the students on my module to gain useful insights into CBT and its application for many mental health problems
An excellent guide to one of the most recommended interventions for mental health problems at the current time
A detailed book offering a wider picture of how CBT can be used in contemporary practice.
Essential reading on the IAPT course. Recommended on BA Nursing course
An in-depth book. It will be a very good addition for mental health branch students
Each chapter of the book was carefully structured enabling the reader to carefully follow each respective theme. Also, the use of case scenarios added an additional dimension to the skill acquisition of the student. The overall presentation of the book provided a comprehensive and detailed account of the theoretical perspectives associated with cognitive behavioural interventions as well as its value in relation to practice application.
This is an excellent book. feedback has been delayed as my colleagues have also been looking at the book and considering it for their modules too. So far, tas a result of this, this book has now not only been placed on my recommended reading list for this module, but also as essential reading for a post-reg module and recommended reading for a further pre-registartion module (mental health nursing). The book is clearly wriiten, up-to-date and applicable to practice and is a valuable resource.
This book is not as is claimed on the back cover a novice read. The language used in a number of chapters could be simplified if this were the case e.g P10 "diologic repertoire" . The text is more appropriate for students with at least a basic working knowledge of CBT principles and as such is useful to extend their thinking around the subject. Students training specifically in CBT will find the book useful. Those who just want to grasp a basic understanding may flounder a little.
This will be a useful text for students to give a sound appreciation of the current use of CBT with people who have a mental health problem. It will also be of use to students at other stages of their studies when a need to understand different approaches to working with clients is required.
