In CBT Made Simple, two psychologists and experts in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offer the ultimate “how-to” manual based on the principles of effective adult learning. Structured around these evidence-based principles, this user-friendly guide will help you learn CBT and deliver it to your clients in the most optimal way.

CBT is a popular and proven-effective treatment for several mental health disorders, including anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and anger problems. However, there are no evidence-based learning techniques to teach it—until now. This simple, pragmatic guide offers everything you need to know about CBT: what it is, how it works, and how to implement it in session.

CBT Made Simple provides a user-friendly, practical approach to learning CBT using up-to-the-minute teaching methods and learning tools—in particular, the “effective adult learning model,” which promotes interactive learning, experiential learning, and self-reflection. Each chapter presents key elements of CBT in clear, accessible language, and includes client dialogues—including explanations of the therapist’s thinking process in relation to various interventions—and clinical examples. Practical exercises are incorporated throughout, enabling you to practice and consolidate your learning. In addition, each chapter mimics the structure of an actual CBT session.

If you are a clinician or student interested in learning more about CBT, this book—a new addition to the New Harbinger Made Simple series that includes ACT Made Simple and DBT Made Simple—has everything you need to hit the ground running. Why not make it a part of your professional library?

CBT is made simple through this elegantly written book!”

—Deborah Dobson, PhD, RPsych, adjunct professor in the department of psychology at the University of Calgary, and coauthor ofEvidence-Based Practice of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy; andKeithDobson, PhD, RPsych, professor of clinical psychology at the University of Calgary, and editor ofHandbookofCognitive-Behavioral Therapies

“This book provides a clear and structured approach to learning and practicing CBT. Nina and David have incorporated active learning strategies, visual and auditory techniques, and lots of opportunities to practice new skills. In addition, a wealth of resources is available online to supplement the text. This book is an invaluable resource for therapists learning CBT for the first time, and for those more expe-rienced who need a refresher in the core principles and practices of CBT.” —Enid Grant MSW, RSW, senior director of Children’s Mental Health at Skylark Children, Youth & Families

“Josefowitz and Myran’s innovative approach to teaching CBT skills engages the reader in a way that I haven’t seen in previous books on the topic. Each chapter of the book is organized like a CBT session— setting an agenda, presenting experiential exercises, and assigning homework. The book describes CBT in a step-by-step, accessible way that is sure to be helpful for both new therapists and seasoned clini-cians wanting to brush up on their skills. I highly recommendCBTMadeSimple!” —Martin M. Antony, PhD, professor of psychology at Ryerson University, and coauthor of TheShynessandSocialAnxietyWorkbookandTheAnti-Anxiety Workbook

—SanjayRao, MD, clinical director of the Mood and Anxiety Program at Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre, associate professor of psychiatry at the University of Ottawa, and executive member of the Canadian Association of Cognitive Behavioural Therapies

“Much has been written on CBT. Still there is a need—indeed a hunger—for a clear and practical how-to book. This volume fills that need remarkably well. Its pragmatic, skill-based, experiential approach will be extremely helpful especially for clinicians new to CBT for whom it is intended. However, clinicians with all levels of sophistication and experience will find much to deepen their knowledge and practice.”

—Michael Rosenbluth, MD, FRCPC, chief of the department of psychiatry at Toronto East General Hospital, and associate professor at the University of Toronto

“CBTMadeSimpleoffers an innovative, cutting-edge method of understanding and using CBT using the effective adult learning model.

Foreword

It is fair to say that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has undergone a tremendous evolution over the past twenty-five years. Some of these changes, such as moving from a five-column to a seven-column thought record, have been triggered by internal innovations and have helped extend CBT’s relevance to disorders falling outside the orbit of its initial validation for depression and anxiety. Other modifica-tions, such as focusing on strengths and balancing acceptance and change, have come in response to external challenges from other therapy models. With all this movement in the field it can be difficult for therapists to return to the basic elements of this approach in a way that is shorn of trends and niche applications. On this point, in fact, I am frequently approached by trainees who are interested in learn-ing about mindfulness-based cognitive therapy. When I ask them about their CBT background, they say it is minimal and they don’t see much need for it. The impression I have is that they are eager to leapfrog past the CBT essentials in order to get to the work they find more interesting. They tend to be surprised at my response, which often runs counter to their wishes and stresses that one can’t get very far in learning new CBT variants when the basic model is only weakly understood. CBT Made Simpledoes an enviable job in providing just this type of clinically pragmatic and skill-based grounding in CBT theory and interventions. Stemming from Nina Josefowitz and David Myran’s two-decade-long careers as cognitive therapists, teachers, supervisors, and academics, this book exem-plifies the best qualities of user-friendly, explicit guidance that offers valuable insights into the nuts and bolts of CBT to all levels of learners. For example, the decision to write this book with a structure that coheres to an actual therapy session is highly innovative. Agendas are set, homework is assigned and reviewed, and learning covers specific skill sets that are relevant to the material being covered. Here we see CBT at its finest. Rather than imparting this information in a purely theoretical manner,CBT Made Simpleinvites the reader to learn through doing. Nina and David rightly argue that it is only through the experiential immersion in CBT principles and interventions that the reader will optimize their book’s value. How much more can be learned from giving yourself a homework assignment and monitoring its performance or even nonperformance? Or scheduling your activities in a typical day and noticing whether life permits them to be achieved in their predetermined order? This approach, to my mind, is what separatesCBT Made Simplefrom many other books touching on the same theme. It also shows how one of the metaconcepts in CBT, guided discovery, can be brought to bear on all aspects of therapeutic learning, whether inside or outside the actual therapy session. Readers who agree to take the plunge and work with the book in this manner will not be disappointed. CBT Made Simpleis divided into parts that follow the different phases of CBT work and emphasize important formulation principles along with ongoing assessment in order to ensure that the most appropriate techniques are being employed. The early chapters focus on identifying client strengths
