"Group CBT is similarly effective to individual CBT, but is more cost-effective and allows for more clients to be treated in a given period of time. Unfortunately, most evidence-based CBT protocols are developed for individual delivery, with only superficial instructions for how to deliver in groups. Bieling, McCabe, and Antony offer a much-needed corrective, expertly explaining how to set up and manage CBT groups for a range of presenting problems and disorders. A 'must have' for any clinician."--Peter J. Norton, PhD, School of Psychology, Counseling and Psychotherapy, Cairnmillar Institute, Melbourne, Australia-This is the book I would have liked to have been able to read when I started running CBT groups....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.
