 Challenging problems June 21, 2009

I really liked this book written by one of the best known cognitive therapists in the country. . . .perhaps only her father is a better known cognitive therapist. It is very beneficial to read how Dr. J. Beck approaches challenging problems that arise during therapy. The case examples she gives can give a therapist insight into haow a master therapist works.
Although I liked virtually everything in the book, I particularly liked the chapter on dealing with problems that patients with axis II disorders present. The author also identifies some typical therapist reactions to the challenging problems that some clients exhibit.
I will kepp this book as a reference for a very long time

This is a highly practical guide for using cognitive therapy with patients who present challenging issues mental health practioners, whether you are a veteran or a novice
Chock-full of numerous detailed case scenarios, this work will enrich the practice of novice and experienced practioner alike.
Therapist have long been reporting that they are seeing increasingly difficult cases in their practices. Axis I and Axis II comorbidities have become the rule rather than the exception. By systematically addressing these challenges in this clearly written and eminently readable new volume, Judith Beck takes cognitive therapy to a new level. therapy does not seem to be going well, most clinicians can think of another therapist who they think would fare better.
We will be all the better as clinicians from benefitting from Dr. Beck's knowledge and expertise in putting together this scholarly, yet practical resource.
 Highly recommended October 22, 2005
