"One of the most useful aspects of the book is the accompanying online resourcesWiley, the publisher, have made all of the worksheets in the book available as electronic versions online, to anyone who buys the book. This means there is no need to stuff it into a photocopier and run off second-rate copies, or to buy a new book for each client. Instead, you can legally and straightforwardly print out pristine colour copies for those worksheets you want." -James Murray

"As a fairly experienced CBT practitioner working with adolescents, this list feels pretty comprehensive, and certainly covers the most commonly used areas of psychoeducation, behavioural activation, graduated exposure, cognitive restructuring and problem solving, and emotional regulation" -James Murray
