Review Quotes:
"Barlow is the rock star of evidence-based psychotherapy, and this is one of the most valuable books out there. The seventh edition continues to provide step-by-step instructions for delivering effective treatments for a wide range of clinical problems. The volume takes therapists through everything they need to know--the research base for each protocol, scripts for introducing the treatment to patients, and session-by-session intervention guidance. It should be on the bookshelf of every psychologist and aspiring psychologist. This book is a gem!"--Barbara Olasov Rothbaum, PhD, ABPP, Professor in Psychiatry and Director, Veterans Program and Trauma and Anxiety Recovery Program, Emory University School of Medicine
"The seventh edition of this book, edited by two eminent leaders in the field, is without peer. It presents the latest evidence-based treatments with descriptions that allow readers to implement the techniques. The details about the different approaches and the concrete ways they are practiced make this an essential text for clinical training programs and for established practitioners who want to stay up to date. The seventh edition elaborates transdiagnostic features of the treatments, adds a new chapter, and is supplemented by videos that illustrate many of the techniques. No other book on treatment even approaches this one's scholarship, scope, and clinical utility."--Alan E. Kazdin, PhD, ABPP, Sterling Professor of Psychology and Professor of Child Psychiatry (Emeritus), Yale University
"A 'must have' for anyone who is working as or training to become a psychotherapist. The Handbook features chapters on the most common mental health problems and includes practical case examples. Edited by two of the most influential psychologists in the field, this book should have a place in the collection of every beginning and advanced therapist, as a resource for learning and for checking the newest techniques and insights."--Pim Cuijpers, PhD, Professor Emeritus, Department of Clinical, Neuro-, and Developmental Psychology, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Netherlands
"For more than three decades, the Clinical Handbook of Psychological Disorders has been an indispensable resource for students, trainees, researchers, and clinicians, and the seventh edition continues this tradition. Written by leading experts, the chapters integrate current research with practical, detailed clinical recommendations, making this volume equally valuable as a graduate-level text and a reference for practicing mental health professionals. Highly recommended!"--Martin M. Antony, PhD, ABPP, Department of Psychology, Toronto Metropolitan University, Canada
