The Clinician’s Guide to CBT Using Mind Over Mood, authored by Christine A. Padesky, offers a comprehensive and extensively revised resource for therapists working with clients through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This second edition has been overhauled with nearly 90% new content, presented in an easy-to-follow step-by-step format. Drawing from her extensive experience as both a CBT innovator and clinician, Padesky provides valuable insights into integrating the methodologies detailed in Mind Over Mood, Second Edition (MOM2), into individual, couple, and group therapy sessions.

Comprised of 100+ pages dedicated to vivid therapist-client dialogues, this guide illustrates core CBT interventions and offers practical solutions for managing complex therapeutic challenges. Updated with the latest research-based guidance, the book equips therapists with evidence-supported strategies to treat a wide range of issues including anxiety disorders, depression, anger, guilt, shame, relationship problems, and personality disorders.

Each chapter includes invaluable therapy tips, real-life scenarios, and troubleshooting guides designed to support both novice and experienced practitioners. The inclusion of reproducible Reading Guides further enhances the guide’s utility by showing how to sequence MOM2 chapters effectively for specific mood targets. New to this edition are detailed instructions on utilizing 60 worksheets from MOM2, expanded coverage of thought records, behavioral experiments, and imagery techniques.
