In this balanced and critical overview, an international team of experts examines systematically the evidence in support of the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral approaches to treating clinical problems across the lifespan. They analyse the cognitive models of psychopathology on which these treatments are based, and identify the clinical and conceptual problems, giving specific recommendations for addressing them. The range of disorders covered includes depression, anxiety, panic disorder, schizophrenia, OCD, personality disorders, eating disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, conduct problems and addiction.

This balanced, evidence-based overview examines the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy in clinical practice.
Reviews
'... an excellent introduction to the field ... Perhaps the most important contribution of this volume, however, is found in the discerning, critical stance taken by the contributors. ... This book unflinchingly examines the strengths and weaknessess of cognitive approaches to psychotherapy and the empirical foundations on which they stand. ... This is a remarkable and valuable volume.' Aaron T. Beck
