Product Review
"The original Handbook was a worthy contribution to the clinical literature, and the second edition promises to be one as well. The text is thoughtful and incisive. It has something to offer both the scientist and the practitioner, and integrates these perspectives in a lively and informative fashion."--Steven D. Hollon, PhD, Department of Psychology, Vanderbilt University

"This important volume surveys the range of the major cognitive-behavioral therapies to date. Its depth and breadth are impressive and help the reader sort out the similarities and differences in conceptualization and treatment among these therapies. This book should prove useful for graduate students as well as for mental health professionals who are interested in a comprehensive description of the cognitive-behavioral therapy field."--Judith S. Beck, PhD, Beck Institute for Cognitive Therapy and Research, Bala Cynwyd, PA

"The development and proliferation of cognitive-behavioral approaches since the publication of the first edition of this Handbook has been nothing less than extraordinary. In the tradition of the well-received first edition, this superbly edited and written second edition provides the latest authoritative statements on the theory and conceptual issues underlying today's cognitive-behavioral therapies.While the chapters emphasize the theoretical and empirical bases for these approaches, they also provide ample descriptions of the respective treatments and illuminate the links between theory and intervention. Conceptual and methodological issues that cut across different therapies are given balanced and in-depth treatment with an empirical emphasis that is the hallmark of cognitive-behavioral therapy. This book is particularly well suited as a text for graduate courses in psychotherapy and for psychiatric residents who are learning a cognitive-behavioral approach."--Andrew C. Butler, PhD, Beck Institute for Cognitive Therapy and Research; Department of Psychiatry, University of Pennsylvania Medical School


"an great text that is probably better suited for graduate students studying theory or research in the field."--Contemporary Psychology

"The second edition of the Handbook of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies does an great job of introducing the field to both the beginning psychotherapist and the experienced therapist unfamiliar with behavioral treatments.the whole structure of this book conveys an appreciation for the notion that a cognitive-behavioral therapist should not be merely a technician, but rather a 'doctor' in the original sense of the term: a learned person.The second edition of the Handbook of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies provides an great introduction to the field of cognitive-behavioral therapies for graduate students and practitioners who want to learn evidence-based approaches for treating psychological problems. Perhaps the most important thing this book offers is conceptual frameworks for understanding how to choose and apply specific treatments for patients."--Journal of Psychosomatic Research

"Academic libraries and even psychotherapists would find this handbook a useful addition to their collections."--E-Streams

"an great book for beginning students in clinical psychology and counseling to read, as it would acquaint them with many foundational ideas in both cognitive-behavioral therapy and in psychotherapy-in-the-large."--Psychological Reports
