Handbook of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies, Third Edition By Keith S. Dobson PhD

This acclaimed text and practitioner reference presents an authoritative overview of major models of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Foremost treatment developers explain core CBT principles and provide a framework for systematic assessment, case conceptualization, and treatment planning. Scholarly yet accessible chapters on each therapy detail what makes the approach unique, which clinical problems it is used to treat, what assessment and intervention tools have been developed, how they are implemented, and what the research reveals about the therapy’s effectiveness. Special topics include working with children and adolescents, couples, and culturally diverse clients. The Handbook has been widely adopted in training programs, and the revisions in this edition reinforce its value as a text.

Review

"This extremely well-written volume provides sophisticated coverage of the broad array of cognitive-behavioral therapies. It begins by reviewing the many different strands of CBT and the findings from treatment outcome studies, and offers excellent discussions of case conceptualization and cognitive assessment. These introductory sections form a strong base for chapters on the theory and techniques of the various CBT approaches. Unique strengths include the book’s transdiagnostic approach to treatment, its cutting-edge coverage of cognitive science, and the chapters on newer therapies. Highly recommended as a graduate psychotherapy text." - Sheri L. Johnson, Department of Psychology, University of California, Berkeley, USA

"The third edition of this handbook attains the same high standards of scientific rigor, clinical breadth, and practical relevance that have made prior editions so successful and authoritative. Providing a highly informative integration of science and practice, chapters are written by the leading experts on CBT. This volume is a ‘must read’ for psychotherapy students being introduced to CBT and for practitioners who need a concise, balanced, and informative review of the latest advances." - David A. Clark, Department of Psychology, University of New Brunswick, Canada

"Even seasoned clinicians would benefit from reading this volume, which reviews CBT’s roots and presents current thinking from top practitioners and researchers. Chapters thoroughly introduce cognitive and behavioral methods and provide detailed descriptions of the most prominent therapies. Unlike other CBT books

that are organized around specific diagnoses, this book disentangles the treatments from the disorders. Its special strength lies in its broader focus on the processes involved in delivering the very best CBT interventions." - Jerusha Detweiler-Bedell, Department of Psychology, Lewis & Clark College, Portland, Oregon, USA

"The large body of research testing the effectiveness of CBT is one of the field’s strengths. In this volume, Dobson and his colleagues offer an up-to-date, detailed review of CBT research and practice, including valuable new chapters. This volume is an excellent text for graduate courses and will provide clinicians with up-to-date coverage of clinical techniques and their empirical bases." - James Pretzer, Director, Cleveland left for Cognitive Therapy, USA
