Behavioral Interventions in Cognitive Behavior Therapy : Practical Guidance for Putting Theory Into Action

An authoritative introduction to behavior therapy as well as a comprehensive resource for those with a firm background in this area. This book clearly and methodically introduces the behavioral perspective to readers new to cognitive-behavioral therapy, while also applying a fresh lens for connecting theory, research, and practice for more experienced practitioners. Instead of matching interventions with client populations or diagnoses, the authors emphasize a framework and set of principles that are broadly applicable to adult clients. Readers will learn how therapists use a behavioral perspective to conceptualize their clients, their problem areas, and the therapeutic process.
