Assessment and Case Formulation in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy [Hardcover]

Offering a unique philosophical, theoretical and process-focused introduction to one of the cornerstones of CBT: assessment and case formulation.

Updated and expanded to take account of the vast developments in the field of CBT since its first publication, this second edition follows a clear two part structure:

 - Part One introduces trainees to the key theory, practice and processes of assessment and case formulation

 - Part Two provides practical illustrations of the theory through 12 extended case studies, considering both ‘simple’ and ‘complex’ presenting issues. Each of these chapters follows a set structure to enable easy comparison.

 

Offering all they need to know about this crucial part of their training, this is essential reading for trainees on any CBT course. 

 

 

A comprehensive guide to key areas of professional knowledge and skill. The authors draw directly on their own clinical work, taking the trainee from the start to the finish of the therapy session and showing them exactly how keen observation, critical thinking, and developing a system for evaluating can be used throughout the entire therapeutic process.Part 1 - Enhancing Effectiveness in CBT Assessment and Case Formulation
