This eagerly awaited book shows how skillful case formulation addresses a critical challenge in psychotherapy today: how to use empirically supported therapies (ESTs) in real-world clinical contexts. The author explains the basic theories of cognition, learning, and emotion that underlie available ESTs and shows how the theories also guide systematic case formulation. By crafting a sound formulation and continually refining and monitoring it as treatment progresses, the therapist can smoothly "shift theoretical gears" and weave together elements of different ESTs to meet the needs of individual patients, who typically present with multiple problems. Hands-on tools, reproducibles, and many concrete examples are included.

Review
"Persons's insights into case formulation are second to none. This book brilliantly demonstrates that you don't have to sacrifice good science to be an excellent clinician, and vice versa. I recommend it to psychotherapists and students at all levels of experience who are interested in using the best theories and clinical techniques to help their patients achieve real and lasting change. Persons's rare combination of clinical practicality and scientific dedication makes her a role model for every young scientist-clinician."--Marsha M. Linehan, PhD, ABPP, Professor and Director, Behavioral Research and Therapy Clinics, University of Washington
"This groundbreaking volume will train the next generation of cognitive-behavioral therapists. Its sophisticated blending of case-level formulation with empirical principles of behavior change is a threshold event in CBT's ongoing engagement with clinical complexity, comorbidity, and nonadherence."--Zindel V. Segal, PhD, CPsych, Morgan Firestone Chair in Psychotherapy, University of Toronto
"Decades of research and clinical experience meet in this seminal book. Persons provides a guide for both the novice and experienced practitioner to deal with even the most complex of cases. This significant work will no doubt become the shining light by which the idiographic approach to CBT will be guided in the future. One of the few books that is worth even more than the purchase price!"--Nicholas Tarrier, PhD, FBPsS, Department of Clinical Psychology, University of Manchester, UK
"There is no greater challenge facing mental health professionals than moving from scientific theory and research to clinical practice. Persons has addressed this critical issue for many years, and has come up with solutions that demand the attention of serious health professionals. She convincingly shows how to analyze complex cases in ways that are both scientifically sound and practically feasible and effective. Persons is the consummate scientist-practitioner. This book is a 'must read' for students, academics, and practitioners."--Gerald C. Davison, PhD, William and Sylvia Kugel Dean's Chair, and Professor of Gerontology and Psychology, University of Southern California

The Case Formulation Approach to Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (Guides to Individualized Evidence-Based Treatment),
This review is from: The Case Formulation Approach to Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (Guides to Individualized Evidence-Based Treatment) (Hardcover)
Case conceptualisation can be obscure, one knows its a good thing but few books say exactly why in such detail. This text is clear concise, with helpful explantions each step of the way.
Helps you to identify what step or part of the concept you may have overlooked and how to include it. The chapters make sense, with theory first and the practice follows. An indispensible reference book for the shelf.

This review is from: The Case Formulation Approach to Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (Guides to Individualized Evidence-Based Treatment) (Hardcover)
I use this book constantly for teaching, supervision, and my own clinical work. I re-read it as often as I can, as I hope one day I can always speak to my clients like Persons does. This is a fabulous book for anyone wanting to use case formulation in their practice.
