'a well-presented account.. The authors manage to convey what this approach is like when used by skilful practitioners. This is valuable because much of the formal literature on cognitive-behavioural work is rather abstract, giving the reader who is unfamiliar with the approach little clinical feel for the work' - British Journal of Medical Psychology 'This is the most explicit and clearest guide to the practice of cognitive-behavioural therapy that I have yet found... the authors provide a concise, yet detailed, step-by-step introduction... invaluable to a beginner and useful to many. I found particularly useful and clear their systematic treatment of types of emotional cognitions with appropriate interventions... I shall recommend it without hesitation to my trainee clinical psychologists' - Behaviour Research and Therapy 'a practical guide to conducting counseling with an individual client from the initial interview to termination... should be extremely useful for the individual who has some background in cognitive-behavioral theory but who needs a step-by-step guide for implementing the theory in practice, interviewing clients, doing a cognitive assessment and performing the treatment interventions' - Contemporary Psychology
