Summary

Critical Acclaim for Clinical Behavior Therapy "This book will be helpful not only to those who regard this [cognitive-behavior therapy] as their primary orientation, but to anyone who wants to be a complete therapist." -Allen Frances, MD Duke University Medical Center "This classic text...was a distinct favorite among the students enrolled in my clinical assessment and treatment courses. I hope the updated edition will be read by graduate students in clinical and counseling psychology, social workers, and all mental health professionals who wish to be truly effective therapists." -Arnold A. Lazarus, PhD Rutgers University "...particularly innovative and impressive. Their lucid description of cognitive variables... broadens the range of interventions available to the behavioral practitioner." -Sheldon Rose, PhD University of Wisconsin School of Social Work "A classic-updated. I recommend it not only for behavior therapists but for any clinical practitioner of any profession who is looking for procedures that work." -Joel Fischer, DSW University of Hawaii at Manoa
