Livro que minha prof° supervisora do estágio recomendou que lêssemos, é uma ótima introdução à abordagem TCC.
Linguagem acessível, esclarecedor.

Nunca dei bola para esse livro. A capa sempre me espantou. Parece de livro de auto-ajuda ruim. Mas depois de fortemente recomendado na Especialização, dei a chance e tive uma excelente surpresa. Ele é ótimo. Uma leitura agradável e cheia de conteúdo, que cobre assuntos deixados de lado no livro da Judith Beck e que são muito importantes. Entre eles, versões resumidas do tratamento de diagnósticos do antigo Eixo II. Achei a linguagem muito palatável, e os casos clínicos bem apresentados e adequados ao conteúdo discutido. Excelente.

A really helpful guide for CBT trainees. I read it during my master in clinical Psychology and it was really useful for understanding how to use a variety of CBT techniques!

کتاب خوبیه اما به تنهایی برای درک این درمان کافی نیست
ویدئوها خیلی به درک مفاهیم کمک می‌کنه

[Christin R. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great guide to CBT. Would recommend to all mental health practitioners.

[Mehran Pourmousavian · Rating 4 out of 5]

برای آشنایی با کلیت درمان شناختی رفتاری مدل کلاسیک مفید هست؛ اما برای کسی که قصد داره بعنوان رویکرد این درمان رو انتخاب کنه کافی نیست و کتب مکمل و جدیدتر باید خونده بشه

[John · Rating 4 out of 5]

Provides a good introduction to CBT and can be used as a stand-alone text for trans-diagnostic, foundational CBT.

6/10
Lot of good information, but it's terribly structured and very dry. Eventually I started to feel like I've already heard about these things so I skimmed a few chapters and stopped reading.

[Catherine Woodman · Rating 3 out of 5]

Great short book on the CBT hx and developing competency

[Jennie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is fantastic for students learning how to conduct CBT. I would recommend it to all therapy trainees interested in learning more about this modality.

[Matthew Gibson · Rating 3 out of 5]

A decent very basic introduction to the methods of CBT. The videos are more helpful than the text. There are some helpful resources of books to have patients read, and worksheets.

As a psychologist this is the best .
