Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

Hundreds of thousands of professionals and postgraduate students have used this text to master the basics of cognitive-behavioural therapy. It has now been significantly revised to include over 50% new material.

In this book, Judith S. Beck demonstrates how to engage patients in therapy, develop a sound case conceptualisation, plan individualised treatment, structure sessions, and apply core cognitive, behavioural, and experiential therapeutic techniques.

New to this edition:

A chapter on the therapeutic relationship. A chapter on integrating mindfulness into therapy. A description of “Recovery-Oriented Cognitive Therapy,” which emphasises the client's aspirations, values, and positive attributes alongside traditional CBT. A pedagogical approach featuring clinical tips, reflection questions, practical exercises, and videos on an accompanying website. New examples of clients dealing with more complex problems. Demonstrations of how to integrate techniques from other therapeutic approaches into CBT, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy.
