Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
`As a lifelong disseminator of CBT I can not remember such a transformational book. I read it like a novel, cover to cover in 24 hours′ - Amanda Cole, Consultant Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist
`This book is unique in presenting cognitive behaviour therapy in an accessible, contextualised way for mental health practitioners working in the NHS today. The authors have a great deal of experience of practising and teaching CBT and this richness is revealed in the many case examples throughout the text′ - Stirling Moorey, Head of Psychotherapy South London and Maudsley Trust
`This is a wonderful text - fresh, contemporary and practical, as well as subtly subversive! It manages to convey the essence of cognitive therapy in a clear, easy-to-read manner, while drawing the reader to re-consider some of the more questionable assumptions of mainstream approaches′ - James Bennett-Levy, Oxford Cognitive Therapy Centre
`At last, a text book about cognitive approaches to mental health that can be understood without the use of a dictionary or a scientific calculator. This book manages to bring to life both the theory of technique and the reality of practice. It is a "must have" book for anyone working in mental health′- Ron Coleman, Author, Trainer and Consultant, Fife, Scotland
