Engaging and authoritative, this unique workbook enables therapists and students to build technical savvy in contemporary CBT interventions while deepening their self-awareness and therapeutic relationship skills. Self-practice/self-reflection (SP/SR), an evidence-based training strategy, is presented in 12 carefully sequenced modules. Therapists are guided to enhance their skills by identifying, formulating, and addressing a professional or personal problem using CBT, and reflecting on the experience. The book's large-size format makes it easy to use the 34 reproducible worksheets and forms. Purchasers also get access to a Web page where they can download and print the reproducible materials.See also Doing CBT, Second Edition, by David F. Tolin, which lucidly explains the full range of CBT techniques, and The Therapeutic Relationship in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, by Nikolaos Kazantzis, Frank M. Dattilio, and Keith S. Dobson, which provides key recommendations for optimizing outcomes.

Developing skills and competency in CBT is a complex process of which self-observation and self-reflection are an essential part. In this new book, leading figures Beverly Haarhoff and Richard Thwaites outline the rationale for a focus on self-reflective practice in CBT, before offering practical and accessible guidelines demonstrating how this can be achieved in training and practice.

Highlighting relevant research throughout and using case studies to illustrate theory in practice, ten chapters consider:

-       reflection in training and in supervision and self-supervision,

-       reflecting on the therapeutic relationship, on our sociocultural perceptions and biases and on client feedback

-       how reflection is vital to self-care and to becoming a better therapist, supervisor and trainer.

This is an essential read for trainees in both high and low intensity CBT programmes, those on broader CBT courses, and for qualified practitioners working independently to enhance their self-reflective capacity.
