Reviews

‘Training in CBT can be rewarding yet daunting. The pressures on novice therapists to demonstrate competence with standard protocols while delivering good outcomes is considerable. This new volume will be a valuable vade mecum for therapists in training. Written in an accessible style with useful tips and clinical illustrations, I predict it will become essential reading for all those setting out on their path as cognitive behaviour therapists.’ Dr Stirling Moorey, BABCP President Elect, CBT therapist, trainer and supervisor ‘A personal, honest and reflective account of the pathway to becoming a CBT therapist, which encompasses the broad scope and landscape of current CBT practice. Full of practical, encouraging guidance, with clear illustrative examples to prepare and engage trainees – a must read for any aspiring CBT Therapists!’ Katy Emerson, Lecturer in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Cardiff University ‘This book is a must for everyone considering a career in CBT. Providing a clear and helpful insight into the journey that one must follow to become a therapist, from contemplating this challenge, including the pathway they have to follow along with the potential pitfalls that they are likely to encounter. The book offers very useful tips on how to survive training and beyond and is an essential companion for anyone embarking on the beautiful journey of training as a CBT therapist.’ Arlinda Hasani, Clinical Lead, Talking Therapies, Derby ‘This book offers a wealth of highly relevant advice and guidance to accompany the journey from being a trainee through to establishing oneself as a newly qualified CBT Therapist. It offers pragmatic wisdom and guidance, with authors sharing their authentic experiences of CBT training and practice. This book will be an invaluable aid to CBT therapists over the course of their training and subsequent qualified practice. It will also be a key resource qualified therapists can continue to refer to as they grow and develop throughout their career.’ Dr Mathew Horrocks, Assistant Professor of Mental Health and Psychological Therapies, University of Nottingham
