This book addresses a critical challenge in evidence-based psychotherapy: how to use empirically supported therapies (ESTs) in real-world clinical contexts. The author explains the basic theories of cognition, learning, and emotion that underlie available ESTs and shows how the theories also guide systematic case formulation.

Activity scheduling is a powerful intervention and is more complicated than it may seem at first. This video provides guidelines for successful activity scheduling, a demonstration with a client who is depressed, and a discussion of the theory and practice of this technique. It features a client portrayed by an actor on the basis of case material.
Demonstrates and discusses the use of the thought record in cognitive - behavioral therapy. The thought record helps show the client how his or her negative thoughts lead to negative feelings and maladaptive behaviors and helps promote a change in this pattern. This video provides a foundation for these two uses of the thought record.
Demonstrates a frequently used system of psychotherapy: using a case conceptualization as a guide for choosing which standard cognitive-behavioral interventions to apply, and adopting an active approach to helping clients solve problems. This work covers overcoming fears through the use of exposure exercises and other strategies.
Explains and demonstrates the initial steps in cognitive - behavioral therapy. This work provides guidelines for case formulation and treatment planning, a demonstration with a client who is depressed, and discussion of these steps.
Schemas are cognitive structures that allow people to make sense of their experiences. Distorted schemas can contribute to depression. This work discusses and illustrates ways for changing a client's maladaptive core beliefs in cognitive-behavioral therapy. It defines schema, then presents theoretical rationale and empirical support.
Discusses and demonstrates the structure of a typical cognitive behavioral therapy session. This work covers components of a session, the theoretical rationale and empirical support behind the structure of the session, and a demonstration with a client. It features titles that show the steps followed in the therapy session.
This work aims to take readers on a tour of the essential components of cognitive-behaviour therapy for depression. The authors emphasize the theory and practices of Aaron T. Beck, to create a book that refines the practical aspects of cognitive-behaviour therapy and its applications.
