handbook of contemporary cognitive behavioral scholarship provides a historical and theoretical overview of CBT, summarizes the empirical support for the approach, describes the main strategies and techniques, and outlines an array of CBT treatment packages.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a psychological treatment that focuses on shifting unhelpful thinking or behavior patterns to more adaptive thinking or behavior patterns. An extensive body of empirical research confirms that CBT is highly efficacious in treating depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders, and severe mental illness. Edited by renowned CBT scholar and practitioner Amy Wenzel, this handbook’s in-depth coverage, up-to-date research, and rich clinical examples, make it an invaluable resource for all clinicians who offer CBT.

    Clear, simple, CBT tools.

    This book is perfect for therapists who want to teach their clients CBT techniques, in session and as homework. The various tasks are straightforward and suitable for a wide variety of clients. I highly recommend this CBT workbook.

    Well written. It's for the clinician not for patient

    Nicely written book. This book is intended for providers and practitioners not patients.

    Good - Not great

    This workbook would be much better if it was about twice as long and contained twice as many worksheets. It is written well and there is a lot of great content. However, the workbook is limited in some ways and really should have been expanded upon (especially when considering newer clinicians).

    Amazing

    Love this book. I am using this in group work right now and they are soaking it up. I read each chapter, take notes and present it in a discussion format. I give the worksheets as homework assignments.

    Helpful for some...

    This book seems very informative and it will be helpful to the right audience.
    However, for me, I’m not finding it that helpful in my line of work.

    Excellent

    This is truly a wonderful resource. I love it for its accessibility. It packs a wealth of information in a really easy-to-access way. Worksheets are straight forward. Explanations are straight-forward. Brilliant and excellent. Honestly, the best book I’ve found besides Judith Beck’s text. All other texts are just meh. I feel confident doing CBT using this resource.

    Awesome book for working with clients and groups

    I’ve used a lot of the information provided in this book for working with clients individually and in groups. There are worksheets included and they are also very helpful.

    I love how the authors break down how to use CBT for a variety of diagnoses. This has been both helpful for me as a new clinician and it has helped my clients as well. I wish that they made a book like this for children and adolescents. Until they do I just break it down in a kid friendly way.

    Bought this for my son. He found it helpful. I chose it because it gives good information (at the end of the book) and it has good exercises to work through.
