博客來Recent changes in health care continue to impact professional counseling practice.Specifically, counselors are increasingly expected to use evidence-based interventions in their work with clients. Besides being evidence-based, CBT has become more consistent with the core values of the counseling profession with its evolving focus on relationships, strengths, and cultural sensitivity.
Developing a sufficient level of competence in CBT cannot be acquired through reading an overview chapter in a counseling theories book. Counselors and counselors-in-training need additional training in this core approach and also need a CBT text that is written specifically by professional counselors for them. Cognitive Behavior Therapy in Counseling Practice meets that need. It is based on the core values of the counseling profession and emphasizes the client-counselor relationship, provides extensive case examples and session transcriptions, and includes an extensive list of CBT terms. Highlighted are detailed descriptions of the theory and actual practice of several CBT approaches including Strengths-Based Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
