Description
The first edition of Cognitive Behavior Therapy of DSM-IV Personality Disorders broke new ground. It differed from other CBT books by offering brief but thorough user-friendly resources for clinicians and students in planning and implementing effective treatments. The third edition of this classic text continues this tradition by providing practitioners―both practicing clinicians and those in training―a hands-on manual of highly effective, evidence-based cognitive and behavioral interventions for these challenging disorders.
The beginning chapters briefly describe the changes between the DSM-IV-TR and DSM-5 and emphasize the best of the recent evidence-based CBT assessment and treatment strategies applicable to personality disorders. The book then guides clinicians in each step of the treatment process–from assessment to case conceptualization to selection and implementation of intervention. Case material is used to illustrate this process with the most recent developments from Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Therapy, Schema Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Analysis System of Psychotherapy, Mindfulness-based therapies, and Dialectic Behavior Therapy.

This was exactly what I was looking for and needed
Excellent book to help Clinicians use CBT with patients/ clients . The author teaches Clinicians how to use an agenda for sessions, action plans, and how to structure the session. I found the book extremely helpful in structuring my sessions with clients . The book also helps with assessments and treatment plans.
The book was a hard cover n in excellent condition!
This book is very useful when learning about CBT. The charts that are used are clear and to the point. I love how simple yet informative this book is. Give it a try!
As a beginning therapist, I am enjoying this book. I believe it will help me integrate CBT techniques into my therapy sessions. One thing that stands out is the ease of reading the material. The writing is clear and informative. Another positive is how it outlines the core approach in session with clients. I feel like there is a “roadmap” to follow as I expand my skills with the various techniques.
