Encyclopedia of Cognitive Behavior Therapy

One of the hallmarks of cognitive behavior therapy is its diversity: today, a variety of approaches and methods fall under this heading. But even with all this variety, no one method works for all problems, or all clients, all the time. The Encyclopedia of Cognitive Behavior Therapy brings the best of the CBT spectrum into practical perspective, distilling decades of clinical wisdom into one authoritative volume. Entries in the Encyclopedia are written by noted experts (including Arthur Freeman, Windy Dryden, Marsha Linehan, Edna Foa, and Thomas Ollendick), and review the latest empirical data on first-line therapies and combination approaches, to give readers both insights into clients' problem beliefs and proven advice on treatment: All entries feature reference lists and are cross-indexed. The Encyclopedia of Cognitive Behavior Therapy capably fills practitioners' and educators' needs for an idea book, teaching text, or quick access to practical, workable interventions.
