Training and Supervision in Specialized Cognitive Behavior Therapy

Training and Supervision in Specialized Cognitive Behavior Therapy is two magnificent resources in one. Experienced clinicians will find tips that one rarely finds in current literature. Supervisors will find a superb and, so far, unique guide to support training for new clinicians. Richly detailed and wonderfully clear, each chapter weaves the experience of CBT from client, clinician, and supervisor perspectives. This book pioneers a new genre in psychotherapy literature. It is vital reading for CBT practitioners. -- Joseph Blader, PhD, Meadows Foundation & Semp Russ Professor of Child Psychiatry, Departments of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences and Pediatrics, Joe R. and Teresa Lozano Long School of Medicine, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio
This is a very useful book for learning the key concepts and techniques for providing supervision and consultation on evidence-based interventions written by expert clinical researchers in psychotherapy. Each intervention includes discussion of key mistakes made by learners and how to overcome them—especially helpful for new clinicians. Also included is how to provide this supervision of treatments with special populations and in special settings. -- Betsy D. Kennard, PsyD, ABPP, Professor of Psychiatry, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas
This book should be on the shelf of every early career mental health professional who is learning how to supervise. For each evidence-based intervention, experts highlight the key concepts and techniques trainees need to know, common trainee mistakes and obstacles in supervision, and methods of addressing these mistakes and obstacles. The substantive takeaways from the book are specific, insightful, research-based, and culturally relevant. -- Elissa J. Brown, PhD, Child HELP Partnership at St. John’s University, Queens, NY
Clinical supervision is a fundamental professional responsibility, but its real-world practice is often difficult. In their new book, Training and Supervision in Specialized Cognitive Behavior Therapy: Methods, Settings, and Populations, eminent scholars and clinicians Drs. Eric Storch, Jonathan Abramowitz, and Dean McKay remedy this problem through a science-informed and accessible text. Storch et al. and their expert contributors provide both naive and sophisticated readers with valuable supervisory know-how that I will repeatedly rely on, and I think you will too! -- Robert D. Friedberg, PhD, ABPP, Professor, Head of Pediatric Behavioral Health Emphasis, Palo Alto University, Palo Alto, CA
