"A tool that any psychotherapist working with a variety of populations can relate to, thus making the book immediately applicable to a wide range of treatment environments....This book manages to be a significant resource for clinicians of all levels....It is an excellent learning tool for clinicians or graduate students inexperienced with PTSD who may be preparing to tackle their first cases....Simultaneously, it is also an outstanding resource for the experienced clinician, particularly one who is currently being challenged by a PTSD patient who is not processing in therapy....It will be a conduit to improve the lives of many suffering from PTSD.", PsycCRITIQUES Published On: 2008-10-17

"This book is an outstanding example of a bridge between research and practice. The approaches manifest through the presentation of case descriptions, patient-therapist dialogues, and patient handouts. The discussion of common difficulties demonstrates the authors' profound experiences in therapy as well as in conducting trainings. Zayfert and Becker take the therapist very seriously, by promoting the art of individualized therapy based on evidence.", Journal of Psychosomatic Research Published On: 2008-10-17
"The book is extremely well written....There is a balance of attention to objective research and clinical implications....Will be best used as either a teaching supplement in graduate programs or as an educational/clinical adjunct for seasoned therapists.", Journal of Contemporary Psychotherapy Published On: 2008-10-17
"The authors' extensive experience in the treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is well demonstrated in this book....The authors' goal is to demonstrate how CBT can be implemented in a flexible manner, allowing the varying and at times complicated needs of traumatized patients to be addressed. I believe they have achieved this goal admirably in a well structured and easy to read book. It succeeds in clearly outlining how to use a case formulation approach to provide CBT for PTSD patients on an individual case by case basis....Through use of detailed clinical examples the authors have illustrated the practicalities of applying exposure and cognitive restructuring techniques in a clear and easy to follow manner. Many examples of worksheets and handouts for use with patients are included in the chapters focusing on treatment. It is an excellent addition to the PTSD treatment literature. Recommended.", Journal of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy Published On: 2008-10-17
"This is a useful, clearly and coherently written book about how to use a case formulation approach to treat post-traumatic stress disorder in adults using cognitive-behavioral therapy....Each chapter offers ideas about how to handle tricky or stuck clinical situations together with lots of case examples. There are well-written photocopiable handouts on reactions to traumatic experiences, cognitive-behavioral therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder, exposure and cognitive restructuring....Overall the book presents a nice blend of evidence-based practice and a thorough clinical knowledge of working with patients. Given the trend for off-the-shelf and manualized treatment packages often to be delivered by staff with little training, this book illustrates the importance of the sophisticated therapeutic skills of being able to engage and collaborate with a patient to explore the nature of that patient's difficulties and to create a fit between the published evidence and the needs of the individual.", British Journal of Hospital Medicine Published On: 2011-03-03
