In this book, the reader will find: Key Features of CT theory and practice examined Presentation of a case example from assessment to treatment and termination of therapy Ways to elicit and tackle negative automatic thoughts and underlying beliefs Important points to consider in the design, negotiation and review of homework assignments Typical client and therapist difficulties in therapy addressed
