disorders (OCD/BDD) and other intractable neurotic conditions.

“This author is to be applauded for distilling considerable
clinical experience into a clear, surprisingly readable book … easy
to navigate and dip into with a specific clinical question … also
accessible to the non-specialist clinician.” - British Journal of
Hospital Medicine.
“All in all, this book is a comprehensive and user-friendly guide
for the busy clinician.” - East Asian Archives of Psychiatry (Hong
Kong College of Psychiatrists)
“The emphasis on situations frequently encountered in secondary
care, such as psychosis, personality disorder and prescribing
issues make this book a particularly useful resource for
psychiatrists in training and indeed other medics, such as general
practice trainees, who have a particular interest in mental
health.” - The British Journal of Psychiatry (BJPsych)
“The strongest feature of CBT for Adults is its organization. Each
chapter begins with a brief overview, presents its material, and
ends with key learning points, references, and other recommended
reading. …Readers…can expect to expand their knowledge of how CBT
is applied to different presenting issues.” - Journal of Clinical
Psychiatry
“At first glance, I must say this is one of the most useful texts I
have ever seen. I have a large library of books by the `experts’
but, having now acquired yours, I could throw most of them away! It
provides the clearest account of how to apply the principles of CBT
I have ever read. This text is full of common sense!” - Brian
Copley, Accredited Cognitive Behaviour Therapist BABCP/UKCP
"It is encouraging that clinicians can quickly learn to guide
patients to complete behavioural and cognitive treatments for a
large number of clinical problems that help many people within a
few weeks... This volume by Dr Drummond is an excellent guide for
clinicians who want to learn how to do this." - Emeritus Professor
Isaac M. Marks
