Reflection in CBT cover

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.

This is an important book in the journey of CBT: a book that has needed to be written. With the greatest of pleasure I can report that the authors have done an admirable job.  -- James Bennett-Levy, Associate Professor in Mental Health
This is a comprehensive, well-researched and well-organised book that is valuable for CBT practitioners at all levels of experience and that offers the reader an original approach to becoming a more effective CBT therapist.  -- Sarah Corrie, Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Visiting Professor
I encourage you to engage with, reflect deeply upon and carry forward the insights, challenges and strategies offered to you in this masterful treatment of reflection in CBT.  -- Michael Worrell, Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Programme Director
