This review is from: Cognitive Therapy in Action (Paperback)

This book provides a good overview of the empirical status of cognitive therapy (probably the best summary i've read so far!) and then covers the major diagnostic categories (and how CT is typically used). I recommend this book to practitioners/students who are interested in providing empiriacl research based therapy.
