Reviews

Although primarily aimed at students, this is a very clear and concise presentation for ambivalent about CBT who wants to get a clearer handle on the facts behind the approach. It definitely helped me to clarify what I like about CBT and what I might take from it into my integrative practice. Angela Cooper, senior accredited counsellor, Therapy Today, April 2009 (UK)
