"CBT Made Simple offers an innovative, cutting-edge method of
understanding and using CBT using the effective adult learning
model. This unique and practical resource will be of great help to
clinicians who are new to CBT, as well as those who've been
practicing for years. I highly recommend this book!"

including The CBT Anxiety Solution Workbook, Thoughts and Feelings,
and Self-Esteem--Matthew McKay, PhD
"CBT Made Simple delivers a thorough, clear, and structured
approach to learning cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) skills and
applying them to clinical practice. Seasoned and new therapists
will benefit from the written exercises, discussion of which
interventions to use, and additional online resources to augment
their learning. I'm thrilled with the addition of mindfulness
concepts in the second edition, which I've found add depth and
efficacy to my own CBT practice."

Workbook for Perfectionism--Sharon Martin, MSW, LCSW
"CBT is arguably the most important nonmedical advancement in
modern psychiatry. It has moved psychotherapy out of the Dark Ages
to become a science-based approach that has alleviated the
suffering of countless of people inflicted by debilitating mental
disorders. Still, very few clinicians today practice good (or any
type of) CBT, regardless of what they claim. This clinician's guide
for CBT by Josefowitz and Myran should be essential reading for any
practicing clinician. I highly recommend this book."
--Stefan G. Hofmann, PhD, professor of psychology in the department
of psychological and brain sciences at Boston University--Stefan G.
Hofmann, PhD
"Josefowitz and Myran have written a tremendously useful and
practical book for new and seasoned practitioners alike. CBT Made
Simple is accessible, engaging, and provides a wealth of clinical
examples, resources, and applications that will be turned to time
and time again. The authors' experience and wisdom shines through
in providing guidance to help the reader apply CBT not only to
their clients, but to learn through applications on themselves.
Each chapter follows the structure of a CBT session, and guides the
reader through learning in the same way that they will teach their
clients. CBT is made simple through this elegantly written
book!"

"Much has been written on CBT. Still there is a need--indeed a
hunger--for a clear and practical how-to book. This volume fills
that need remarkably well. Its pragmatic, skill-based, experiential
approach will be extremely helpful--especially for clinicians new
to CBT for whom it is intended. However, clinicians with all levels
of sophistication and experience will find much to deepen their
knowledge and practice."

psychiatry at Toronto East General Hospital, and associate
professor at the University of Toronto--Michael Rosenbluth, MD,
FRCPC
"The second edition of CBT Made Simple by Josefowitz and Myran is
an updated version of their outstanding guide to the practice of
CBT. This book is a rare example of a step-by-step manual that is
user-friendly, case-based, engaging, and filled with useful tools
and resources, including videos that can be accessed online. The
new edition has some excellent additions, including how mindfulness
approaches can be used to complement CBT."
--David K. Conn, MB, FRCPC, vice president of education at Baycrest
Health Sciences, and professor in the department of psychiatry at
the University of Toronto--David K. Conn, MB, FRCPC
"The second edition of this extremely practical, helpful, and
essential book on CBT is now even better than its prior iteration.
In a careful, emphatic, and clear manner, the reader is escorted
through key principles. Especially exciting are new chapters on
recognizing and dealing with old, long-standing core beliefs and
how to replace them, as well as dealing with underlying assumptions
and behavioral experiments. Also, throughout the book there are now
sections on how to incorporate mindfulness into CBT, helping
clients decenter from their painful and habitual thoughts.
Clinicians with all levels of sophistication and experience will
find much to deepen their knowledge and practice. This volume is
destined to be a classic."
--Michael Rosenbluth, MD, FRCPC, chief of the department of
psychiatry at Michael Garron Hospital, Toronto East Health Network;
and associate professor at the University of Toronto--Michael
Rosenbluth, MD, FRCPC
"This book provides a clear and structured approach to learning and
practicing CBT. Nina and David have incorporated active learning
strategies, visual and auditory techniques, and lots of
opportunities to practice new skills. In addition, a wealth of
resources is available online to supplement the text. This book is
an invaluable resource for therapists learning CBT for the first
time, and for those more experienced who need a refresher in the
core principles and practices of CBT."
--Enid Grant, MSW, RSW, senior director of children's mental health
at Skylark Children, Youth & Families--Enid Grant, MSW, RSW
"This is a program hidden in a book, which encourages an
experiential approach to CBT learning. With the additional web
resources (videos, handouts) it will thoroughly engage CBT learners
and teachers. A 'must-have' text in the era of expanding CBT
practice."
--Sanjay Rao, MD, clinical director of the mood and anxiety program
at Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre, associate professor of
psychiatry at the University of Ottawa, and executive member of the
Canadian Association of Cognitive Behavioural Therapies--Sanjay
Rao, MD
"This second edition of CBT Made Simple retains all of what made
the first edition such a great resource, and adds new material on
working with core beliefs, mindfulness-based strategies, and case
formulation. As in the first edition, each chapter in this
well-written book models the structure of a typical CBT session,
including setting an agenda and completing practical exercises to
build skills. I highly recommend this updated edition of CBT Made
Simple, both for new clinicians and experienced therapists wanting
to hone their CBT skills!"
--Martin M. Antony, PhD, professor of psychology at Ryerson
University, and coauthor of The Shyness and Social Anxiety Workbook
and The Anti-Anxiety Program--Martin M. Antony, PhD, ABPP
