- Covers work by the world''s leading clinical researchers in this field

Trade Review“All over, this book is very practical and to be recommended to therapists that want to get an insight into how problems associated with psychotic experiences can be efficiently treated psychologically.” (Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapy, 1 January 2014)
“While not a workbook that readers can use to guide CBT sessions with patients, it provides a nice overview of the evidence supporting the use of CBT and could be helpful for any clinicians working with these challenging patients.” (Doody’s, 12 July 2013)
