Reviews and Endorsements
Training in CBT can be rewarding yet daunting. The pressures on novice therapists to demonstrate competence with standard protocols while delivering good outcomes is considerable. This new volume will be a valuable vade mecum for therapists in training. Written in an accessible style with useful tips and clinical illustrations, I predict it will become essential reading for all those setting out on their path as cognitive behaviour therapists.
