Reviews

. - Provides an excellent and comprehensive discussion of the basic structure and implementation of CBT techniques offered in a group format. The book is a must-read for beginning group therapists, providing in-depth coverage on how to perform behavioral strategies in a group, establish group rules, interact with problem members, work with a cotherapist, and decide between sticking with the agenda versus pursuing unplanned group interaction. Important questions are raised in a thoughtful manner....We wholeheartedly recommend this book to those interested in researching and conducting CBGT and endorse the recommendations regarding future directions to maximize group process integration in CBT groups. --International Journal of Group Psychotherapy, 6/26/2009ff This is the book I would have liked to be able to read when I started running CBT groups sixteen years ago....What I found particularly helpful about this book is that from the start, the authors acknowledge that CBT groups are 'more than techniques delivered simultaneously to multiple clients.' The focus of the book is therefore 'the integration of CBT strategies, and the understanding and enhancement of group process to aid in learning and understanding cognitive and behavioural strategies.' This is a considerably more sophisticated approach to group CBT than has previously been available in the literature....This book will be a very valuable resource for professionals setting up and running CBT groups for a wide range of clients, as well as for professionals supervising CBT groups, and is highly recommended. --Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Book Reviews, 6/26/2009
