CBT Guided Self-Help: A Clinician's Handbook

This book will be essential reading for anyone involved in establishing a psychological therapy self-help service and for practitioners in those services. Using their wide experience of cognitive behaviour therapy delivery in the UK and internationally, the authors have brought together a wealth of expertise and advice into an indispensable single volume.

The Five Areas Approach has been detailed in the highly regarded, popular and award-winning Overcoming series. This latest title presents clear and pragmatic advice, with the aim of improving CBT delivery and patient outcomes in a variety of conditions. The background and evidence base for self-help interventions are presented, and the difficulties encountered when introducing self-help services are discussed, with suggestions for ways of tackling such problems.

Individual practitioners including low and high intensity CBT workers will find the book invaluable, as will team leads, commissioners and managers.
