Cognitive Therapy for Challenging Problems: What to Do When the Basics Don't Work Reprint Edition

I really liked this book written by one of the best known cognitive therapists in the country. . . .perhaps only her father is a better known cognitive therapist. It is very beneficial to read how Dr. J. Beck approaches challenging problems that arise during therapy. The case examples she gives can give a therapist insight into haow a master therapist works.Although I liked virtually everything in the book, I particularly liked the chapter on dealing with problems that patients with axis II disorders present. The author also identifies some typical therapist reactions to the challenging problems that some clients exhibit.I will kepp this book as a reference for a very long time

So far it has been very helpful. I work with adolescents in residential care. They've usually been through several therapist before getting to me and are definitely challenging clients.

A very useful CBT professional book. All this information can be used in treatment of difficult clients.

At first, I received a damaged book, but they replaced it to a brand new/good condition right away.(Thank Amazon and the company for that.)A lot of good examples and make a MHP to re-think what might be missing or to understand possible thinking process of a client/patient.Especially when you are dealing a difficult or not progressing situation, this book might be a good resource to read up!

This book was helpful in reinforcing the basics of CBT and how to use them in dealing with challenging patients.

great quality, ahead of time delivery

Excellent for understanding extra elements to delivering cbt

great book

Awful. Heavy on repetition of the core textbook's theory, ostensibly on belief that the CBT model itself tells you all you really need to know. The "challenging problems" are enumerated, and in some cases described (e.g., personality disorders), but the "solution" component is little more than a collection of stylized, unrealistic and ungeneralizable case examples. The marketing power of the book's title and author's pedigree is not backed up with content quality.

Practising therapists as well as students would benefit from this well-written and thorough manual to hone and enhance their skills. A great book from the daughter of Aaron Beck, a founder of CBT.

Great book arrived in pristine condition. Very pleased
