The book is a good guide for beginners outlining the basic models of CBT as well as what usually happens withing a therapy, how it is broken down into topics and problems to be tackled etc. Only the basics is however the only thing one gets out of the book as I doubt much depth of the subject could be achieved without sufficinet amount of examples.
Three examples of CBT cases are included throughout the book, which significantly helps for its understanding.
Some of the parts included are quite sufficiently explained and supported with examples, which is also helpful.
The book is however predominently focused on people with general interest in the subject or students in psychology for example.
It would deffinitely not serve much purpose as a self-help book for those who think they need CBT or wanted to know how to tackle automated negative thoughts or core beliefs etc. on their own.
