SAGE Publications Ltd, 2012. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. This handbook for professionals and students practicing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) begins with an overview of CBT and its current application within health and social care services in the UK. In addition to reviewing theory underlying CBT, this section also counters common misconceptions about CBT. Part 2 considers practice issues such as working with comorbidity and adapting CBT to a broad clientele, and part 3 addresses common challenges in the course of CBT treatment, such as challenges with homework and maintaining change. Chapters in part 4 examine CBT with specific populations, such as adolescents and people with intellectual disabilities, and in specific settings, such as criminal justice settings. The final section tackles professional issues such as ethics and practitioner self-care. Dryden and Branch teach at Goldsmiths University of London. (2012 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR)
