If you’re teaching CBT, you need this definitive resource to keep in step with the latest advances in behavioral science.

We are pleased to present this exciting new development in cognitive behavioral science. As we all know, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a powerful and evidence-based treatment for mental health conditions, and its applications continue to grow.

However, the proliferation of protocols targeting DSM-defined psychiatric disorders can make training difficult and limit the integration of research and clinical practice.

Featuring contributions from luminaries in behavioral science, Process-Based CBT embraces the behavioral, cognitive, and acceptance and mindfulness wings of this modality. It provides fundamental guidelines for integrating the philosophy and principles of these wings and traditions into a coherent approach to processes of change.

With this volume, students master the full range of core processes modified by CBT, and learn strategies for targeting these processes in practice for maximum efficacy.

Sincerely,
