In this second edition of CBT Made Simple, two renowned psychologists and experts in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offer the most comprehensive manual available to help professionals learn CBT and deliver it to clients for better treatment outcomes.
CBT is an evidence-based treatment for several mental health disorders, including anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and anger problems. This simple, pragmatic guide offers everything you need to know about CBT: what it is, how it works, and how to implement it in session.
This fully revised and updated second edition of CBT Made Simple provides a user-friendly, practical approach to learning CBT using up-to-the-minute teaching methods and learning tools—in particular, the “effective adult learning model,” which promotes interactive learning, experiential learning, and self-reflection. Each chapter presents key elements of CBT in clear, accessible language, and includes client dialogues and clinical examples. Practical exercises are incorporated throughout, enabling you to practice and consolidate your learning. In addition, each chapter mimics the structure of an actual CBT session.
This new edition also includes the core components of CBT—core beliefs, intermediate beliefs, and behavioral experiments—to make this the most comprehensive CBT manual you’ll find anywhere.
Praise
“CBT Made Simple delivers a thorough, clear, and structured approach to learning cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) skills and applying them to clinical practice. Seasoned and new therapists will benefit from the written exercises, discussion of which interventions to use, and additional online resources to augment their learning. I’m thrilled with the addition of mindfulness concepts in the second edition, which I’ve found add depth and efficacy to my own CBT practice.”
—Sharon Martin, MSW, LCSW, psychotherapist, and author of The CBT Workbook for Perfectionism
