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.
