"I enjoyed this series from two different perspectives: The first
perspective is as a professor of counseling who occasionally
teaches theory. Students using these books will find them readable,
thorough, and applicable to the practice of therapy. New therapists
will find them useful to consolidate their own use practice, and
they will possibly be introduced to new material. . . . For the
experienced practitioner who wants to expand into other modalities,
these books introduce a new therapeutic approach. And for those who
have only had a quick overview of many theories, this series offers
another look, and possibly new material to add to what was already
studied. . . . I recommend this series and hope that it will be
expanded to include other therapeutic approaches."

"Psychotherapy Essentials To Go is a truly impressive series of
books. Elevating pragmatics over dogma, it is grounded in the
wisdom of front-line psychotherapists who adapt the core principles
of empirically supported psychotherapies to flexibly address a
myriad of clinical issues. No other series of psychotherapy
handbooks is as skillfully concise and yet thorough. It will
quickly become a standard reference for teaching and enhancing
clinical competence."

Mood Disorders, University of Toronto–Scarborough; author of The

"Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Anxiety by Mark Fefergrad and
Peggy M. A. Richter is a concise primer for therapists interested
in learning powerful concepts and techniques for the treatment of
anxiety. This is an excellent resource for those beginning their
training in CBT."
