Cognitive Therapy in a Nutshell cover

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in a Nutshell - Second Edition is a concise introduction to one of the most widely-practised approaches to counselling and psychotherapy.

Leading authors, Michael Neenan and Windy Dryden, explain the model and the core techniques used during the therapeutic process to:

- elicit and examine negative automatic thoughts

- uncover and explore underlying assumptions, rules and core beliefs (schemas); and

- maintain gains from therapy.

For newcomers to the subject, this revised and updated edition of Cognitive Therapy in a Nutshell provides the ideal place to start and a springboard to further study.

′Windy Dryden offers a down-to-earth introduction to the theory and practice of counselling which will serve to aid and inspire trainees′ -

A very good concise summary of the Cogntive approach, but I really want this ′nutshell′ type of book to cover a more generic Cognitive (and) Behavioural Approach i.e. "CBT in a Nutshell"." -- Dr Neil MacFarlane * drupal *
An ideal text for our introductory courses in CBT. We like the format and style: short, consise without dumbing down. -- Louise Young * drupal *
A really good book which does exactly what it says on the tin!!! -- Miss Caroline Gilchrist * drupal *
An accessible introduction to Beck′s Cognitive Therapy. This book accurately conveys the essence of Cognitive Therapy, with excellent use made of extracts from clinical encounters. -- Mr John Perry * drupal *
Recommended to students -- Mr Sivan Koran * drupal *
This book is currently recommended to my 3rd and 4th year undergraduate psychiatric nursing students. They use it in the context of understanding how the concepts of CBT may be used in the creation, maintenence and termination of the therapeutic relationship with clients. . -- Mr Tommy Healy * drupal *
This is a well written book that explains many issues. However, the title ′in a nutshell′ and size of this book suggests that it is a basic introductiob to the subject - it is not. -- Mr Tony Barlow * drupal *
Prefer the Frank Wills book -- Mrs Rebecca Southall * drupal *
An excellent book for students to gain an overall insight into the CBT model. Highly recommended -- Mrs Ruth Gaulton * drupal *
A really handy introduction and "dip in" text" -- Ms Catherine Radford * drupal *
