Aimed at practising cognitive behavioural therapists, ‘Cognitive Behaviour Therapy’ offers eleven chapters of the newest developments in applying CBT to work with particular client populations.

Regarded as the textbook of research on the effectiveness of counselling and psychotherapy, this volume is a favourite of practitioners who approach their work in an empirical spirit. While tracing research developments gradually as individual papers appear remains an important part of being well-informed about the field, the reviews and meta-analyses offered in this massive volume provide a very efficient entree into the research literature and a simple way of understanding the primary themes and tentative conclusions emerging from empirical research across the world.
