Reflective and Self-Evaluative Practice in CBT

'This is an essential resource both for students of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and qualified cognitive behavioural therapists.

The book is organised in five parts that (logically) cover theory, practice. common challenges, specific populations, settings and core professional issues. Student CBT practitioners will find the first three sections invaluable. More seasoned practitioners might dip into parts four and five to explore the use of CBT in different settings and with different client groups, from children to private practice to self-care and reflective practice. For practitioners working in other modalities, the book is a well-referenced and substantial introduction.

The handbook is better than similar publications that attempt to provide this comprehensive resource. It is clearly written and jargon-free; the contributors demonstrate considerable knowledge and experience in their respective specialist fields. It was also very refreshing to find chapters on ethics and supervision, which are often left out of books of this kind.

I really enjoyed the book, gained new knowledge of benefit to my own practice, and would recommend it as a first point of reference for practitioners on CBT theory and its many applications' - Therapy Today


An excellent book with a range of authors discussing various elements of CBT.

This book is a good academic resource for students and trainee counsellors. With jargon-free and easy to follow explanations, the authors provide a comprehensive overview of contemporary CBT practice. The various chapters bring theory and research to the forefront of CBT practice. Clinical vignettes and case studies illustrate how to put in practice the various skills and key concepts. Important aspects of safe and ethical practice are also highlighted, such as self-care, supervision and reflective practice.

This book has been a great resource in formulating the CBT Module. I have put it on the recommended reading list.
The information given covers so much of the broader aspects and technicalities of the subject, whilst still being accessible and readable

This is a comprehensive handbook useful for those who are starting to learn about CBT and an equally useful resource for those who have been 'doing it' for a while. Clearly written case studies provide context.
