Dr. Manassis is achieving great success with this second edition. Based on her years of clinical experience, she focuses this edition on the challenges of implementing evidence-based CBT practices in community settings. She warns against the thoughtless use of manuals and advocates for sound clinical judgment in daily practice to help us make decisions when manuals are unavailable and evidence is lacking. Nevertheless, she remains consistent and brings the principles and procedures of CBT to where they are urgently needed. Those who enjoyed the first edition of this book will simply love the second edition. Those who have not seen the first edition can expect a real treat. Evidence-based clinical practice comes alive in this book!.
