It encompasses a family of interventions that share the same basic idea, namely that cognitions profoundly and causally influence emotions and behaviors and, thereby, contribute to the maintenance of psychiatric problems. <i>An Introduction to Modern CBT</i> provides the reader with an easily accessible introduction to current models of cognitive behavioral therapy, and describes important new developments in the field, including attention retraining strategies, acceptance techniques, disorder-specific emotion regulation skills, and loving kindness, and mindfulness meditation.<br /> <br /> <p>The text outlines the different techniques, ranging from behavioral activation procedures to metacognitive strategies that have been shown to be successful in improving specific psychiatric disorders, and further introduces many modern and disorder-specific CBT techniques. The author makes use of concrete case examples for additional clarity throughout the text, and chapters are structured logically and consistently. <i>An Introduction to Modern CBT</i> serves as a scholarly review of contemporary CBT that provides both a useful guidance for therapists in training, and an invaluable reference tool for the more experienced clinician looking for a one-step, up-to-date treatment guide to the field.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Hofmann's non-defensive and even-handed approach lends the book unprecedented breadth and depth, unbiased by allegiance to any proprietary model.
