Praise for Combining CBT and Medication"Combining CBT and Medication should be required reading for psychiatrists, primary care physicians, psychiatric nurses, and mental health professionals. This excellent, readable book by a leading psychiatrist who specializes in CBT offers essential guidelines, based on research, for clinicians—whether they provide psychiatric medication, therapy, or both."—Judith S. Beck, PhD, President, Beck Institute for Cognitive Therapy and Research; Clinical Associate Professor of Psychology in Psychiatry, University of Pennsylvania
"Combining CBT and Medication: An Evidence-Based Approach by Dr. Donna Sudak is a valuable—no, let me say, an essential—book for every practicing clinician. Clearly written with many examples, strategies, and tips for any practitioner who really wants to provide optimal care. I know I will be recommending this book to everyone I know."—Robert L. Leahy, PhD, Clinical Professor of Psychology, Department of Psychiatry, Weill Cornell Medical College, New York–Presbyterian Hospital
"An experienced psychiatrist who is also a skilled CBT practitioner, Dr. Sudak has done a masterful job in discussing how pharmacological management and CBT can be integrated. . . [She] provides case vignettes to illustrate her points. This book is a valuable addition to any clinician's library." —Cheryl Carmin, PhD, Professor and Director, Cognitive Behavior Therapy Program, University of Illinois at Chicago
