Sage Publications Ltd First Steps in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
Book Synopsis This book is a first steps introduction to cognitive behaviour therapy that will appeal to the interested reader and professionals wanting to learn about the approach. It introduces you to the history of the approach, describes its behavioural and cognitive principles, and examines key techniques and methods within the context of contemporary practice. Further chapters on Formulation, Working with Imagery, and Future Directions in CBT help you to extend your learning, while reflective activities and case studies throughout the book support you to apply principles and perspectives to practice. Trade ReviewCorrie and Lane’s ‘First Steps in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy’ outlines the basic concepts, techniques and widening applications of the most empirically validated form of psychotherapy. It is well written and easy to understand. The authors, both highly respected leaders in the field, have produced one the most accessible texts on the subject that I have ever had the pleasure of reading. A valuable resource with wide appeal to anyone interested in learning about CBT from the simply curious to HR practitioners, coaches and students. -- Dr Marc KahnSarah Corrie and David Lane present the first steps in CBT with remarkable and consistent clarity even when dealing with relatively complex topics. In my opinion, this is an excellent introduction to CBT and will be enjoyed by many students and trainees entering this field. -- Stuart TurnerI’ve spent many years as a CBT Practitioner and read many books on the subject and for me this one really stands out. Why? – Because from the very start the authors of First Steps in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy form a relationship with the reader supporting their learning and understanding from beginning to end. This book is skillfully structured, beautifully written, and packed with examples and applications that relate to a wide range of contexts including `everyday living’. Care is taken to exclude no-one as each chapter of the book moves seamlessly through introductory principles and concepts, theory, research and practical applications. Whether you are an experienced or novice therapist, a coach, a professional from a completely different context, a potential or actual client, or none of these, the book is written in a way that all can relate to and apply to their own unique life - past, present and future. The exercises at the end of each chapter facilitate the reader in getting the most out of the book. They include getting to know how your mind works, analyzing your own behaviour, reflecting on experience, using imagery to help you achieve your goal, keeping a diary of how you spend your time and enabling yourself for the world of tomorrow. This is a shorter book than many on the subject, and I suspect that once you start reading it you won’t want to put it down. What could be complex and dry material is presented in a powerful, lively, simple (but far from simplistic) way, and it cannot fail to touch its readers in ways that impact on their own lives and also others with whom they interact professionally or personally. I highly recommend this book by Sarah Corrie and David Lane. -- Professor Mary Watts * Review *This book is a new departure for Sarah and David. As highly qualified academics, they usually produce books and papers for those familiar with psychological topics. In this excellent book, they seek to help those of us less familiar with CBT to understand the principles on which it is built and the ways it is used effectively in practice. As I should have expected, they have written a book that is easy to read without dumbing down the academic rigor. Indeed, one of its real attractions is how they have made the book very accessible by using fictitious case studies drawn from their vast experience as practitioners. In addition, there are regular prompts for the reader to self-reflect on how they might apply the contents. They end with a brief look at where CBT may develop in the future. I highly recommend this book for any non-expert or lay person who is keen to gain better understanding of CBT for their own personal or professional lives. You will not regret the time taken in allowing Sarah and David to lead you gently to a greater understanding of CBT. -- Phil Moore * Review *This is an excellently well-written book, which introduces the history, key scientific and philosophical underpinnings; principles and practice of cognitive-behaviour therapy (CBT). The style is thoughtful and engaging. The authors achieve a sound balance of explaining concepts in a way which does not assume prior knowledge, but does not patronise the reader. There are illustrative examples of a range of situations which demonstrate the approaches being discussed. The book makes use of the principles described, by offering reflective learning activities, and signposting to further reading at the end of each chapter. It provides an up to date, engaging overview of the field, noting the core researchers and current developments which inform CBT. I would recommend this book to anyone starting training in CBT, as well as fundamental reading for therapists training in other orientations or schools of thought, mental health and well-being therapists, and as a core reference for CBT training programmes -- Helen Macdonald, * Review *Sarah Corrie and David Lane have provided a very timely and easy to understand book about Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy (CBT). The book should interest individuals and mental health professionals who seek knowledge regarding the workings of this scientifically developed and most successful therapeutic methodology in our time The book informs comprehensively for those who seek help, direction and suitable professional guidance. Both authors are clinical psychologists with extensive clinical and research experience. As pioneers, supervisors and practitioners of CBT they have contributed substantially to the development of this most successful therapeutic approach to date. Corrie and Lane take the reader through the complex development of CBT to what they call a family of therapeutic approaches as guided by behavioural and cognitive science. They describe how CBT was started as Behaviour Therapy by the early pioneers Hans Eysenck and Vic Meyer and many other psychologists discontent with available tradional methods to mental health problems offered by psychiatry and psychoanalytic approaches at the time. They outline a complex development that occurred in waves over several decades integrating and refining behavioural and cognitive methodologies and explaining how this led to the empirically established and evidence based therapeutic approach that continues to develop new specialised therapies (third wave) based on earlier developments (first and second waves). Next the authors give a detailed account how therapy intervention is designed and implemented as guided by behavioural and cognitive principles leading to respective methods. Finally, the concept and the highly important role of individualised case formulation in CBT is fully explained and demonstrated with a clinical case. This book should be a very useful guide for people looking for a therapeutic approach based on scientific principles but also for health professional in training and practice for psychotherapy. It is also highly recommended for any reading list with CBT training courses. -- Michael Bruch * Review *A beautifully written book: clear and easy to understand, and comprehensively covering the key principles and techniques of cognitive behavioural therapy. Fictional case examples bring components of CBT to life and reflective exercises provide opportunities to reflect on how to relate CBT principles to one’s own life. Extremely useful for trainee cognitive behavioural therapists, and anyone interested in understanding what cognitive behavioural therapy is. -- Dr Lucy MaddoxTable of ContentsIntroduction Part 1 - The Principles and Perspectives of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Chapter 1 - Understanding Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Chapter 2 - The Cognitive Principle Chapter 3 - The Behavioural Principle Chapter 4 - The Style and Delivery of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Part 2 - Cognitive and Behavioural Interventions Chapter 5 - Cognitive Techniques for Working with Thoughts Chapter 6 - Cognitive Techniques for Working with Enduring Cognitions Chapter 7 - Working with Imagery Chapter 8 - Behavioural Methods for Building Skills and Changing Patterns of Activity Chapter 9 - Exposure and Behavioural Experiments Part 3 - Using CBT in Therapy and Beyond Chapter 10 - Formulation in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Chapter 11 - Future Directions for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Conclusion

Atlantic Books Endell Street: The Women Who Ran Britain’s
Book SynopsisA BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEKWhen the First World War broke out, the suffragettes suspended their campaigning and joined the war effort. For pioneering suffragette doctors (and life partners) Flora Murray and Louisa Garrett Anderson that meant moving to France, where they set up two small military hospitals amidst fierce opposition. Yet their medical and organisational skills were so impressive that in 1915 Flora and Louisa were asked by the War Ministry to return to London and establish a new military hospital in a vast and derelict old workhouse in Covent Garden's Endell Street. That they did, creating a 573-bed hospital staffed from top to bottom by female surgeons, doctors and nurses, and developing entirely new techniques to deal with the horrific mortar and gas injuries suffered by British soldiers. Receiving 26,000 wounded men over the next four years, Flora and Louisa created such a caring atmosphere that soldiers begged to be sent to Endell Street. And then, following the end of the war and the Spanish Flu outbreak, the hospital was closed and Flora, Louisa and their staff were once again sidelined in the medical profession.The story of Endell Street provides both a keyhole view into the horrors and thrills of wartime London and a long-overdue tribute to the brilliance and bravery of an extraordinary group of women.Trade ReviewThis is the best book I've read about the First World War since Vera Brittain's Testament of Youth...With her impressively focused research and eye for human detail, Wendy Moore has produced an unforgettable microcosm...this fascinating book is a microcosm of early 20th-century Britain at its very best - and its very worst. -- Ysenda Maxtone Graham * The Times *Rarely is a book so important, so timely...vividly and meticulously written, Endell Street is a masterpiece to stretcher straight into a major film studio...[an] unmissable, thrilling read. -- Philippa Stockley * Evening Standard *Fascinating, carefully researched... Moore is superb at describing the medical advances that resulted in seven research papers by Endell Street doctors being published in The Lancet, among the first ever by women. * Guardian *Moore has scoured archives and diaries to produce a meticulously researched history of this extraordinary institution.... By writing this splendid book, Moore has ensured that the efforts of these pioneering women will never be forgotten. * Literary Review *Meticulously researched, written with élan and wit, Moore's account comes at just the right time... [it] reminds us that people can rise to an occasion, that the biggest advances - for medicine, for humanity - can come during the toughest times, as a result of the toughest times. It reminds us that great courage and great ingenuity are possible even when the world feels very dark. * New York Times *Informative, compelling and poignant, Endell Street is a forgotten story superbly told. * Times Literary Supplement *An absorbing and powerful narrative...Moore has an eye for detail that brings her story to life. * Wall Street Journal *Endell Street is an absolute delight. Wendy Moore has performed an incredible feat of historical detective work, and the result is a gripping account of courage and determination in the face of death. It is impossible not to love the suffragette surgeons as they fought for the wounded abroad and for women's rights at home. -- Amanda ForemanHow can a spectacular story like Endell Street just disappear? Luckily for us, it fell into the hands of one of our finest biographers. Wendy Moore's rich storyteller's voice has brought back the lives and achievements of these brave and brilliant women. -- Andrea Wulf, author of THE INVENTION OF NATUREThe story of the extraordinary women who ran the 'Suffragettes' Hospital' is visceral, timely, urgent and spellbinding. Wendy Moore's book is utterly involving and deeply thought-provoking, and all I can do is urge you to read it. -- Helen CastorFew authors write as colourfully and compellingly about the past as Wendy Moore. In her deft hands, the horrors of the First World War and the heroic efforts of the suffragette surgeons are conjured back to life. Meticulously researched and beautifully executed, Endell Street is an important book that shows Moore to be the masterful storyteller that she is. -- Lindsey Fitzharris, author of THE BUTCHERING ARTEndell Street is an extraordinary story, and beautifully told. -- Anita AnandTable of Contents1: A Good Feeling 2: A Sort of Holiday 3: Sunshine and Sweetness 4: Good God!
