'I really like this book and strongly recommend that you read it. As a clinician and educator in CBT I think this book has a lot to offer. It will meet the needs of the beginning CBT practitioners and provide welcome revision and extension of knowledge for the more experienced practitioner. This useful text provides an excellent balance of theory related to clinical practice. It was refreshing to see the authors provide a focus on behavioural theory and practice alongside the ubiquitous cognitive concepts and practice found in most other texts on this subject. There is a pleasing (and clinically useful) amount of "B" in "CBT for Personality Disorders.'
