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.
