   A good, introductory text to Cognitive Behavior Therapy. Provides a good, clear, constructive overview of CBT. Although the book uses an overview of treating the depressed patient, the book is simple enough to allow adaptation to other diagnoses.

   I purchased this book for my Cognitive Behavior psychology class. I think the book is excellent as an introduction to CBT. There are clear examples in the book from Judith Beck herself, who happens to be the daughter of Aaron Beck, the father of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Wanting to eventually practice using CBT myself I have decided to keep this book around even after the class ended as a resource. It is easy to understand and really gives a clear picture of CBT and what it is all about.

   I love how detailed this book is while it goes over the basics of CBT. It's a really easy read. I wish there was one for all the DSM diagnoses. It really goes into details of specific techniques like the downward arrow, rational-emotional role play, evidence testing etc, and there's a lot of scripts of real session to illustrate them. I also love that with in the book, there are exerts about "what if" the client does or doesn't do this or that, which is really helpful for beginners to address all the different responses that clients can have to the techniques in treatment.
