Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy

Ideal for graduate students in the field of psychology studying theories of therapy and counseling as well as for seasoned counseling practitioners interested in better understanding this approach. Midwest Book Review Craske presents a thorough history of CBT, from its origins as a science-based treatment of behaviors to its second- and third-wave iterations, which incorporate the role of cognition as content and the function of cognition in changing behavior. As in all the volumes of this series, the author presents the therapy process, applications to specific disorders, efficacy research, contraindicators, and cross-cultural limitations. Well-chosen case studies illustrate a variety of applications. Choice "Accessible, yet thoroughly competent, this short volume covers cognitivebehavioral therapy (CBT) in a way that will help all students, regardless of their orientation and background, understand how these methods can fit into their training as psychotherapists and behavior change agents. Covering all of the recent developments, this second edition is a gem of clear thinking, from one of the best thinkers in the CBT tradition. Highly recommended." Steven C. Hayes, PhD, Foundation Professor of Psychology, University of Nevada, Reno
