Cognitive Therapy Techniques: A Practitioner's Guide Second Edition

This is an excellent therapeutic resource. It is full of reproducible handouts/worksheets for clients. It was worth every penny!

This book has some informative ideas about working with patients in counseling.

One of the books to learn CBT from!

Very helpful tool for quick reference to numerous worksheets for work with clients.

Bob Leahy's First Edition of Cognitive Therapy Techniques: A Practitioner's Guide, has always been required reading and a valuable resource for practice in our accredited doctoral program in clinical psychology at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, and this new edition will be no exception. The beauty of Leahy's writing is that it is steeped in scientific evidence, and balanced with a rationale for using these techniques based on a solid cognitive behavioral case conceptualization, and a liberal dose of compassion and understanding of the human condition. This is no mere cookbook of gimmicks and therapeutic tricks. Rather, it is a well thought out articulation of a variety of evidence-based methods that can be practiced, mastered, and utilized by the novice and experienced practitioner alike. There is only one book that could have possibly replaced Leahy's First Edition of Cognitive Therapy Techniques as a required resource in our program, and this Second Edition is the one! Don't procrastinate on acquiring this book by waiting until you "get motivated." Do it right now, and then notice your excitement increase along with your therapeutic competence! ~ Bruce S. Zahn, Ed.D., ABPP, Professor and Director of Clinical Training, Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine

Dr. Leahy's invaluable book has been revised to provide clinicians with cutting edge strategies to use with their clients. A leader in the field of cognitive therapy, Dr. Leahy presents complex concepts in a manner that makes them easy to understand and uses case examples to bring these concepts to life. A must read for clinicians who want to practice cognitive therapy.

I absolutely love this book. CBT is so much more than worksheets; this book will teach you how to actually process and challenge your clients. I recommend this book often.

The best there is for comprehensive CBT techniques and practice....also incorporates some 3rd wave theory - but does not abandon the fundamentals of the CBT approach.

Great! Quick delivery!! All good, as expected

Every practitioner of CBT should have this book at their fingertips

*****

This book has had great clinical utility in my practice working with clients with a range of mental health concerns. It provides comprehensive knowledge of cognitive behavioural therapy and its functions as well as practical resources to use with clients.
