amp ldquo Craske presents a thorough history of CBT, from its
origins as a science-based treatment of behaviors to its second-
and third-wave iterations, which incorporate the role of cognition
as content and the function of cognition in changing behavior. As
in all the volumes of this series, the author presents the therapy
process, applications to specific disorders, efficacy research,
contraindicators, and cross-cultural limitations. Well-chosen case
studies illustrate a variety of applications. amp rdquo -Choice
amp quot Accessible, yet thoroughly competent, this short volume
covers cognitive amp ndash behavioral therapy (CBT) in a way that
will help all students, regardless of their orientation and
background, understand how these methods can fit into their
training as psychotherapists and behavior change agents. Covering
all of the recent developments, this second edition is a gem of
clear thinking, from one of the best thinkers in the CBT tradition.
Highly recommended. amp quot -Steven C. Hayes, PhD, Foundation
