In CBT Made Simple, two psychologists and experts in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offer the ultimate "how-to" manual based on the principles of effective adult learning. Structured around these evidence-based principles, this user-friendly guide will help you learn CBT and deliver it to your clients in the most optimal way.

CBT is a popular and proven-effective treatment for several mental health disorders, including anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and anger problems. However, there are no evidence-based learning techniques to teach it--until now. This simple, pragmatic guide offers everything you need to know about CBT: what it is, how it works, and how to implement it in session.

CBT Made Simple provides a user-friendly, practical approach to learning CBT using up-to-the-minute teaching methods and learning tools--in particular, the "effective adult learning model," which promotes interactive learning, experiential learning, and self-reflection. Each chapter presents key elements of CBT in clear, accessible language, and includes client dialogues--including explanations of the therapist's thinking process in relation to various interventions--and clinical examples. Practical exercises are incorporated throughout, enabling you to practice and consolidate your learning. In addition, each chapter mimics the structure of an actual CBT session.

If you are a clinician or student interested in learning more about CBT, this book--a new addition to the New Harbinger Made Simple series that includes ACT Made Simple and DBT Made Simple--has everything you need to hit the ground running. Why not make it a part of your professional library?
