I have been looking for a book to use as a manual for CBT, and I am glad to say that I have found it! All psychotherapists, whatever their psychological views, will find much to stimulate their thinking in this book. Its depth and scope, the variety of data explored, and the stark nature of the argument will provoke both thought and emotion. This well-written book provides coverage of a number of important issues and techniques not commonly treated in a didactic manner and specifically not covered in most introductory CBT textbooks. If you are in any way concerned with the practical way to apply CBT for anxiety or depression, you owe it to yourself to read this book. Dr Mamoun Mobayed, Consultant Psychiatrist, Director of the Program Department, Doha, Qatar Let me put this succinctly - the authors have written a very helpful book. It is essential reading for anyone who is involved in the delivery of low intensity CBT for depression and anxiety. Depression and anxiety are unfortunately rife within our society and cause significant suffering. Ultimately mental health workers are engaged in addressing and ameliorating that suffering; it is a hard job. This book goes a long way in affording support to those workers through clearly outlining cognitive and behavioural principles and techniques that are proven to help with these types of presentations. Written by highly experienced cognitive behaviour therapists and lecturers for people who are providing low-intensity interventions, the book offers step-by-explanations of evidenced and invaluable CBT approaches and techniques. Although primarily written for people with limited experience and training in CBT I believe all therapists and mental health workers, whatever their level of experience or training, will find much to inform and support them in this book.Karl Tooher, Centre Director at Northside Counselling Service Herron, Hughes and Younge have skillfully woven their passion for CBT and its ability to transform lives with a common sense and useful guide. This book combines principles, theory and practice in a thought provoking and accessible way for any practitioner working with people experiencing a mental health problem. Practitioners of all hues can enhance their core skills in working with sufferers of anxiety and depression. Lots of health professionals work with the aim of aiding clients in recovery from common mental health problems, however they can often find in real life situations that they have insufficient skills to fully help in this task. This book can provide health care workers of varying professional backgrounds with a really useful road map to do this. The authors clearly integrate their own clinical experiences with the evidence base in an engaging way. Principles, theory and practical aspects of a CBT approach are combined along with helpful suggestions for putting these into practice and integrating these new skills with how people already work. Everyone from GP's or Student nurses/AHP's to experienced mental health workers will be able to glean useful gems from this book, for example within the chapter on Assessment, the methods described could be fruitful for anyone seeking to establish a collaborative relationship and shared understanding of difficulties.

The student of biological science in his final years as an undergraduate and his first years as a graduate is expected to gain some familiarity with current research at the frontiers of his discipline. New research work is published in a perplexing diversity of publications and is inevitably concerned with the minutiae of the subject. The sheer number of research journals and papers also causes confusion and difficulties of assimilation. Review articles usually presuppose a background know ledge of the field and are inevitably rather restricted in scope. There is thus a need for short but authoritative introductions to those areas of modern biological research which are either not dealt with in standard introductory textbooks or are not dealt with in sufficient detail to enable the student to go on from them to read scholarly reviews with profit. This series of books is designed to satisfy this need. The authors have been asked to produce a brief outline of their subject assuming that their readers will have read and remembered much of a standard introductory textbook of biology. This outline then sets out to provide by building on this basis, the conceptual framework within which modern research work is progressing and aims to give the reader an indication of the problems, both conceptual and practical, which must be overcome if progress is to be maintained."
