Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Beginners: An Experiential Learning Approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Beginners lays out an experiential learning program replete with exercises to guide new clinicians, as well as more experienced therapists re-specializing in CBT, through the process of systematically implementing successful CBT interventions both for themselves and their clients. Each chapter examines a key construct in understandable terms, presenting an overarching view of how clinicians put these concepts and techniques into practice in typical as well as in difficult or unexpected scenarios. Readers will come away with a deep understanding not just of the standard principles of CBT but also of the real decisions and strategies that allow seasoned therapists to implement these principles in a way that maximizes the benefit to clients.
