Contemporary Behavior Therapy PDF

This book is easy to read, providing a broad overview of contemporary behaviour therapy issues. Having read it cover to cover, I would recommend this book be read in conjunction with further, more detailed texts to flush out the finer details as the authors cover a number of therapy and models generally without going into much depth. However as a general introductory text, the authors have in my opinion delivered a useful package with elements of behaviour therapy successfully complimented by real-life examples of case studies and useful end-of-chapter summaries. The textbook comes with an additional student resource materials/participation worksheet booklet which unfortunately I did not find useful. A good book for the undergraduate level.

I just got through using this text along with Beck's "Cognitive Therapy - basics and beyond." This is an informative text and gives a very broad overview of the various techniques that come under the title "Cognitive - Behavioral Therapy." If you are looking for a broad view - this would be the text, if you are looking for specific advice to apply to practice, choose another book.
