<p>This book is ideal for seasoned CBT professionals wishing to refine their skills and grasp the amp quot principles of strategy amp quot orientation that is presented so precisely.</p> (New England Psychologist)

This book describes strategic decision making, a flexible yet evidenced-based approach to making clinical decisions in order to move treatment forward in cognitive behavioral therapy. It dispels the myth that there is a single amp ldquo right amp rdquo therapeutic intervention that must be delivered in any one instance in fact, many courses of action can facilitate change provided they are implemented strategically.

Strategic decisions (a) follow logically from the case conceptualization, (b) are arrived upon collaboratively between the therapist and patient, (c) allow the patient to leave the session with something new, and (d) are seen through in their entirety before their effectiveness is evaluated.
Les mer
Experience a dynamic approach in cognitive behavioral therapy where strategic decisions emerge from clear case conceptualizations and genuine therapist-patient collaboration. Multiple pathways to change replace the idea of a single correct intervention, emphasizing actionable treatment steps and thorough evaluations.
