Cognitive Behavior Therapy: Basics and Beyond, Third Edition (2020) by Dr. Judith S. Beck (with foreword by Dr. Aaron T. Beck, the founder of cognitive therapy) is the definitive teaching text in cognitive behavior therapy - with over 300,000 copies in print and used in training programs around the world. This significantly revised third edition contains more than 50% new material.
Hundreds of thousands of clinicians and graduate students have relied on this landmark text to learn the fundamentals of CBT. Judith Beck - daughter of Aaron Beck and president of the Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavior Therapy - demonstrates exactly how to engage patients, develop a sound case conceptualization, plan individualized treatment, structure therapy sessions, and implement core cognitive, behavioral, and experiential techniques. Extended case examples following clients with severe depression, anxiety, and borderline personality traits illustrate how a skilled therapist delivers CBT and troubleshoots common difficulties.
New to the third edition: a chapter on the therapeutic relationship; a chapter on integrating mindfulness into treatment; presentation of recovery-oriented cognitive therapy (CT-R), which emphasizes clients' aspirations, values, and positive qualities; updated coverage of evidence-based applications; and a companion website featuring clinical worksheets and videos of therapy sessions.
Topics covered: the cognitive model; case conceptualization; evaluation and treatment planning; the therapeutic relationship and alliance; structuring sessions; identifying and responding to automatic thoughts; core beliefs and intermediate beliefs; behavioral activation; problem-solving; imagery techniques; homework assignments; mindfulness integration; relapse prevention; and termination.
Essential for: clinical psychology doctoral programs; counseling psychology programs; psychiatry residencies; clinical social work programs; MFT and LPC training; CBT certification candidates; and practicing psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, counselors, and therapists seeking authoritative CBT training.
"I was paying $11.99/month for Kindle Unlimited but realized I was renting books, not owning them. Bought this PDF and it's mine forever. Never going back to Kindle."
"Switched from Kindle to these PDFs. Same book, but I actually OWN it now. No monthly fees, no app required. Worth every penny."
"Kindle Unlimited kept raising prices. This is a one-time purchase and the file is permanently on my iPad. Best decision I've made for my reading habit."
"I compared Kindle vs this store. Kindle is cheaper monthly but you don't own anything. Here I paid once and the PDF is mine for life. Highly recommend."
"Left Kindle behind after they removed a book I was reading mid-series. With this PDF, nobody can take it away from me. True ownership feels good."
"Was skeptical about paying $18.95 when Kindle shows $3.99, but then I did the math — Kindle Unlimited is $143/year! This is way better value long term."
"Love that I can read this on any device without installing the Kindle app. The PDF works on my laptop, phone, and tablet seamlessly. So much freedom."
"My Kindle subscription was getting expensive. Switched to buying PDFs here and I'm saving money while actually building a permanent digital library I control."
