This widely used book is packed with indispensable tools for treating the most common clinical problems encountered in outpatient mental health practice. Chapters provide basic information on depression and the six major anxiety disorders; step-by-step instructions for evidence-based assessment and intervention; illustrative case examples; and practical guidance for writing reports and dealing with third-party payers. In a convenient large-size format, the book features 125 reproducible client handouts, homework sheets, and therapist forms for assessment and record keeping. The included CDROM enables clinicians to rapidly generate individualized treatment plans, print extra copies of the forms, and find information on frequently prescribed medications.

New to this edition:

• the latest research on each disorder and its treatment
• innovative techniques that draw on cognitive, behavioral, mindfulness, and acceptance-based approaches
• two chapters offering expanded descriptions of basic behavioral and cognitive techniques

Reviews

"This updated second edition incorporates the latest theory and research. The authors present a wide array of tried and tested techniques and show when and how to use them. The book includes detailed guidance on assessment and report writing and abundant material for direct use with clients. It should be part of every clinician's CBT toolkit." - Adrian Wells, University of Manchester, UK

"I highly recommend this book. For the novice, the authors provide a concise overview of the major risk factors and empirical approaches for each of the anxiety and mood disorders. For clinicians at every level of experience, the book is chock-full of techniques, charts, and tools for implementing cognitive and behavioral strategies, with plenty of case examples to illustrate the techniques. The authors provide fantastic guidance on how to address common barriers in implementing cognitive behavioral therapy." - Sheri L. Johnson, University of California, USA

"Evidence-based interventions – especially cognitive and behavioral therapies – will occupy a central role in the future of mental health care. Written by highly experienced clinicians and scholars, this volume (together with the included CD-ROM) has filled a crucial need since its original publication. The second edition provides up-to-date, hands-on recommendations and concrete guidelines for treating the most common anxiety and mood disorders using well-supported cognitive and behavioral strategies. This is a 'must-read' book for mental health practitioners of the 21st century and an essential teaching tool for future therapists in all disciplines." - Stefan G. Hofmann, Boston University, Massachusetts, USA
