Reader ReviewsThis book was required for a graduate-level social work course on CBT. All chapters are authored or co-authored by a social worker. Book focuses on generalist (social work) use of CBT, but also provides examples for clinical practice. Excellent book...detailed explanations of CBT for social work practice.
