Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Case Studies uniquely blends Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) with the Department of Health’s stepped care model, offering a comprehensive guide through case studies. Structured around commonly encountered conditions—from mild depression and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) to more complex disorders such as Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), personality disorder, and social phobia—this book provides a step-by-step approach to understanding and applying CBT principles.

Each chapter focuses on a specific client condition, detailing the initial referral, presentation and assessment, case formulation, treatment interventions, evaluation of CBT strategies, and discharge planning. The distinctive practical format is designed to mirror postgraduate level training, preparing readers for real-world practice challenges. Additional resources such as learning exercises and clinical hints are included, along with extensive references to further CBT research, making it an invaluable tool for trainees on Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) programs and anyone studying graduate-level CBT courses.

Published in March 2012, this book is essential reading for professionals seeking a deep understanding of how to effectively implement CBT within the context of stepped care models. With its 264 pages, it serves as both an educational resource and a practical guide, offering insights into both theoretical and applied aspects of CBT.
