Cognitive Behavior Therapy: Applying Empirically Supported Techniques in Your Practice.

Editors: William O’Donohue, Jane E. Fisher & Steven C. Hayes.

Wiley (2003).

ISBN: 9780470227787.

The book is a practical reference work presenting empirically supported cognitive-behavioural techniques for treating a wide range of clinical and educational problems. Its contributors include specialists in particular therapeutic approaches, and the chapters generally emphasise procedures, implementation steps, and practical application.

The work is especially useful as a technique-oriented handbook rather than as a single, unified introduction to CBT. A review describes it as bringing together numerous cognitive-behavioural procedures and highlighting the philosophical, theoretical, and procedural foundations of empirically validated treatment.

Topics include:

• Panic disorder and depression.
• Enuresis and insomnia.
• Smoking cessation and stress management.
• Anger control and pain management.
• Parent training and classroom management.
• Assertiveness, problem-solving, and social-skills training.
• Functional communication and skills acquisition for people with developmental disabilities.
