Imagine a football team where the coaches never drew up plays and the quarterback never established any expectations about what would happen after the ball was snapped. What is the common factor in sports teams that don't develop a cohesive strategy and don't collaborate and work together on common goals? They lose. They fail to achieve their objectives. They're left sad and burned out watching others win championships. The same holds true for psychotherapy. Offering support, building a relationship or "establishing rapport" is only one piece of an effective game plan. Psychotherapists who line up for their sessions unprepared and without a plan or coherrent case conceptualization are doing a serious disservice to those they are suppose to serve. They are setting themselves up to be in situations where they hope to connect on Hail Mary passes or complete next to impossible 50+ yard field goals. Ultimately, their sessions may fail to rise to "greatness." Good sports teams not only focus on the fundamentals, they execute on their gameplans as opposed to simply talking a good game. A good therapist should also have a "game plan."

The quiz is based on the latest version published in July, 2011. This is not a boring, overly theoretical workout like some books tend to be. This is a "psychotherapy playbook" packed with useful techniques and guidance on how to structure the entire course of Cognitive Behavior Therapy.

Learn more about CE credits for this book at PsychContinuingEd com Review: Necessary Reading in the 21th Century - This is a book that should be read by every member of the psychological community. It should be mandatory reading for every LMFT, LCSW, and PhD student who wants to practice therapy in the 21th Century. It does not make any difference how long you have been practicing. You will benefit from this update and review of the basic concepts. The interactive client method is very important to the success of this book. You may not agree with Beck's approach, but your skills will be greatly sharpened by your counter arguments to her methods and approaches. You can easily incorporate your experience and approach within the structure she uses. A little more on the many alternatives and expansions using CBT would have been useful, however. But, there are many other books that cover the multitude of newer applications to this basic theory to fill that gap. If you are teaching a graduate level course to students who will be actually practicing counseling then you really should use this as a text or standard reference to help the student understand the reality of what CBT is in the market place and the world of today. Necessary--very necessary. It is well rounded and totally debunks the "deep psychology" criticism that CBT is "just too simplistic." Beck's framework offers room for any theory or approach that is looking for some kind of evidence that what they do actually works and is not just a wondering into someone's dreams that are only understood by the master who is being paid for their psychic powers. In short, Beck is not Blavatsky. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #212,248 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #266 in Social Work (Books) #318 in Popular Psychology Psychotherapy #511 in Cognitive Psychology (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,060) | | Dimensions | 6.25 x 1.25 x 9.25 inches | | Edition | 2nd | | ISBN-10 | 1609185048 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1609185046 | | Item Weight | 1.5 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 391 pages | | Publication date | July 13, 2011 | | Publisher | The Guilford Press | ## Images ![Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Second Edition: Basics and Beyond - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61rYEb45jPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Your new Psychotherapy "Play-Book" *by T***Y on November 14, 2011* Judith Beck's book is like a playbook for psychotherapy.

As a graduate student in Counseling Psychology I felt confused by all these theories of psychotherapy. I didn’t know how to start self learning because I wanted to learn everything at once. Now I’m near my practicum so I realize I just need a good model to work with. Since most of my professors are CBT trained, I gave it a shot by reading this book. It’s perfect. It gives you an evidence based model that actually helps patients/clients even if you’re not a master therapist yet. It emphasizes the therapeutic relationship like the Rogerian model, it follows research and it’s easy to follow as a novice. With adecuate supervision I think I will provide a good service for any client that walks in. P. S. I tried reading books about Gestalt, Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused therapy, REBT, ACT, DBT etc... the only one that compares to this one is the REBT practitioners manual by the Albert Ellis institute and a Solution focused therapy book by Heather Fiske. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Second Edition: Basics and Beyond - ACT Made Simple: An Easy-to-Read Primer on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (The New Harbinger Made Simple Series) - The Comprehensive Clinician's Guide to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/1580957-cognitive-behavior-therapy-second-edition-basics-and-beyond](https://www.desertcart.be/products/1580957-cognitive-behavior-therapy-second-edition-basics-and-beyond) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
