Cognitive Behavioural Counselling in Action

by Peter Trower, Jason Jones, Windy Dryden

This best-selling, eminently practical, evidence-based guide to the cognitive-behavioral approach to counseling has been substantially revised and updated to reflect current theoretical and practical developments in the CBT field.

The second edition contains an expanded Basic Guide to Cognitive Behavioral Counseling which takes the practitioner step-by-step through the process of counsel\ling, from initial contact with a client to the termination of counseling. The guide follows a skills-based format, and uses carefully-chosen case studies and illustrative dialogue to take each task in sequential order, providing a briefing on each task along with the practical steps needed to effect its implementation.

Drawing on their own extensive experience, and with reference to contemporary research, the book also provides a concise overview of the CBC approach to common emotional problems, with new material on complex cases and on the therapeutic alliance, with guidance to more detailed bibliographic and multimedia sources throughout.

[Simon Lee · Rating 4 out of 5]

Rather than concentrating too much on the history of CBC, this book looks at it's practical application in great detail, with lots of useful examples. It's a great insight into the therapy, as well as being a very useful study aid, both for written and practical exercises.

Sage publications are best sellers for a reason. They are excellent for theoretical and practical applications of various approaches in counselling. Cannot recommend them enough!
