Cognitive Behavioural Interventions for Mental Health Practitioners

Usefull with some helpful examples. Some of the diagrams were too small font e.g. fig 4.2. -- Jackie Heslin * drupal *
great tool for planning new module in mental health -- Miss Fay Armstrong * drupal *
I have put ticked the ′no′ option above because you don′t have a ′not yet′ option!
Excellent book that I intend to start informally reccomending to students immediately
Liked the introduction to CBT as well as discussion about uptake of evidence based approaches by MH nurses - some v good points there & agree that a lot of current practice does not have a great evidence base.
However, on the subject of evidence bases I could not find any reference to criticisms of CBT itself?
I was less sure about the need for the history of the old ENB course & respectfully suggest that this might usefully be replaced by some discussion of CBT critique?
Apart from that however, this really is an excellent resource & I will be encouraging students to read this. -- Mr Andrew Walsh * drupal *
Concise, factual and well illustrated. -- Mr Mark Gibson * drupal *
This was very well structured with clear summaries, tables and guidelines. A good range of references to help the reader focus. -- Mr Mark Vincent * drupal *
A good approach to applying CBT principles in a mental health setting. Good chapter summaries, reflection points and activities throughout. -- Mrs Jade Mullen * drupal *
An easy read book which covers the basic elements of CBT. Case studies, examples of completed formulations/five areas and examples of interventions are helpful for the reader. -- Mrs Tracey Rogers * drupal *
I really like the user-friendly layout of this book, and have already recommended it to an MSc student on placement.
I will be using it with a group of BScs on their Preparing for Social Work module where we are doing a session on CBT approaches in social work. -- Ms Emma Inch * drupal *
Great overview and very practical. Like the interactive style- makes the reader engage with the text and think the issues through. -- Ms Gloria Kirwan * drupal *
Very helpful for new practitioners and people new to the field. It makes the link between theory and practice in a way that is easy to understand. -- Ms Jackie Daniel * drupal *
Included in reading list for therapeutic skills modules with pre registration students and the key approach used in the local Trust. Book provides a clear and basic text about CBT, covering most of the important areas at a basic and understandable leve. -- Ms Jennifer Rooks * drupal *
A very readable, accessible text for the non-CBT trained MH practitioners from a variety of professioanl backgrounds. Helpful reflection/activity points providing the opportunity for the practitioner to consider CBT type approaches in their work settings.
Not much to dislike - as a non CBT trained practitioner I shall be able to put this learning to good use in my own practice and will recommend it to AMHP trainees. -- Ms Judith Matthews * drupal *
Very straightforward and easy to follow. I like that it′s encouraging all of us in MH to use CBT- this is not just for psychologists. Makes it easy to implement into practice. Good for students to understand. -- Ms Sandra Jamieson * drupal *
