this book provides student midwives with an introduction to the CBT. this is something that has increasing coverage and will be something that many patients will be experiencing. This book will enhance the student undersatnding and can only enhance the impact of care provision for the maternity services -- Dr Ellen Kitson-reynolds * drupal *

This is proving to be an essential book for early learners and practitioners of CBT. It is most useful as a lecturing aid and after ordering it is now in our library with students referring to it regularly. -- Dr Linda Blokland * drupal *
The addition of a section on CBT and IAPT is useful as many of our students work in an IAPT context. Also the emphasis on Third Wave CBT approaches is welcome as we do include these in yr 2 of our CBT course. Overall the book represents significant improvements to former titles by the same authors (e.g. CBT : An Intro). Material is very accessible and this is helped by use of good illustrative client examples. Would be good to see a section on critique/challenges to CBT and perhaps to include other Third Wave approaches such as Compassionate Mind Therapy -- Dr Toni Dicaccavo * drupal *
Frank Wills Essential reading -- Miss Maria Punt * drupal *
A very good book in an ever expanding sea of CBT text books -- Mr Armin Luthi * drupal *

I would recommend this introduction to CBT to any trainee, but especially those preparing to work in IAPT services. The chapters on the therapeutic realtionship and how to work with emotion in CBT are particularly helpful and well written, while avoiding becoming too technical or fuzzy! The use of case studies to illustrate how theoretical aspects of therapy translate into practice is particularly helpful. -- Mr Ken Jackson * drupal *

A good, easy to follow introductory book for all trainee therapists. From planning to formulations, it provides a practical and up to date guided approach to practising CB. The book addresses key important aspects and competencies, from initial assessment through planning and formulation.
The addition of Chapter 12 covering CBT in the context of IAPT is helpful and informative, providing the reader with an insight into the intricacies of working in this Service.
-- Mrs Ana Paula Wellbrook * drupal *
This book is a good academic resource for students and trainee counsellors. Linkinging theory to practise with clear jargon-free explanations, the authors enable the reader to get a true sense of how to use CBT to work with a wide range of client problems/difficulties. Clinical examples help further illustrate how to apply the various key concepts to achieve emotional and behavioural change.
The chapter on the wider applications of CBT is informative and it helps further cement CBT’s invaluable position in an effective health care system.

An interesting book for use in therapeutic interventions session with students. A little advanced for 2nd year student nurses (which is the module i use it for), but very good for informing assignments and when in practice. Some students who have an interest in the topic area have really found it useful. I will continue to take it to the session for people to look through and make their own decision. -- Mrs Jackie Robertson * drupal *

A great book with useful tasks for trainees. -- Ms Stella Gkika * drupal *
The book is a very nice foundation for the introduction of CBT. However, the specific topic of my course is CBT in chronic pain. There are some hints to CBT in chronic pain in the book, but no detailed descriptions for this topic. Therefore, the book is recommanded for the first part of the course, but only supplementary for the detailed seminars for specific syndromes (i.e. fibromyalgia, migraine, chronic back pain etc.). -- Professor Thomas Weiss * drupal *
