Editorial Reviews
Review
"Leahy's book has great value for the experienced practitioner of cognitive therapy or the therapist who wants to know more about cognitive therapy. Both will find issues to think about and techniques to use. As an academic, I think that its greatest value will be as a textbook for courses and programs in clinical or counseling psychology, social work, or psychiatry. Leahy's clear writing style, erudition, and clinical skill combine to make this volume readable and valuable. He has advanced cognitive therapy by his contribution."--Journal of Cognitive Psychotherapy
"Any advanced practicum course on CBT (or any psychotherapy for that matter) would be well-served to include this text in its syllabus. I have already begun using this text within my courses for advanced psychiatry residents and fellows. While many readers of this Journal may spend much of their professional time with children, much of what is included in the book can be easily generalized and utilized no matter what the patient's age. I strongly recommend this book to anyone wishing to increase their therapeutic skill and sensitivity to the 'non-specific' variables that contribute to treatment success. This book goes a long way to make these non-specific variables more specific and therefor of greater clinical value. I highly recommend it."--Child & Family Behavior Therapy
"...this book is an excellent addition to resident, graduate-level, or postgraduate training in cognitive therapy and a useful bridge to practitioners of others psychotherapies where the concept of resistance is more dominant."--The Canadian Journal of Psychiatry
"...the book is especially relevant to cognitive therapists who can assess and revise their own attempts to reduce resistance and recognize the limits of the cognitive model, but it remains applicable to any therapists who have worked with clients who do not respond to therapy.....Additional learning tools provided in the volume are examples of therapist-client dialogues, figures with specific examples of resistance and appropriate responses, as well as specific questions that can be posed to clients to determine their likelihood of expressing particular dimensions of resistance. The combination of these methods allows the reader to implement suggested interventions easily into practice. This information is also presented in an organized, concise, and reader-friendly manner, which makes this book a particularly useful resource for graduate courses in addition to a clinical tool to be used in practice....this book provides an important and needed set of guidelines for therapists, and presents valuable information that will enable clinicians to appreciate the value of resistance and learn methods of collaborating with clients to examine the barriers and implications for change. One of the final, and most important, lessons in the book is the recognition that clients respond to the therapist as well as to therapy itself. Leahy's advice for clinicians when approaching is to adopt ¿a position of curiosity' (p.257) rather than a critical stance toward the client that might emerge because of inadequate attainment of treatment goals. This point cannot be overemphasized in the quest for understanding the underlying reasons for resistance among clients, and it is this kind of clinical perspective provided by Leahy throughout the book that will guide therapists to succeed in their efforts."--Contemporary Psychology
"...a superb book that outlines clinical strategies for the detection and amelioration of the barriers, or resistances, to engagement in cognitive therapy in order to reach those patients who are otherwise unlikely to fully benefit from standardized interventions....The text contains a wealth of ideas and illustrative case material to help the (cognitive) therapist navigate patient and therapist-patient resistances. It is destined to be a standard reference within the case conceptualization approach and is relevant for everyone practicing cognitive therapy."--Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease
"Leahy's work will be a much valued and practical addition to the bookshelf of CBT practitioners, and should be applauded for helping to establish resistance as an important area of inquiry on the CBT landscape."--The Clinical Psychologist

Review
"This book fills a major gap in the cognitive therapy literature, one that may often account for failure to attain therapeutic goals. The author, while committed to a cognitive model, shows a willingness to mine other therapeutic traditions for ideas that cognitive therapists can use. He has developed a well-thought-through typology of types of resistance, and provides a richness of clinical example and precise formulations of actions the therapist can take to help the patient overcome each type. This book will be an excellent text in courses in all the therapeutic disciplines. It will be especially useful for students in such professions as social work, who will encounter many clients who are induced by environmental and socialization influences to erect barriers to change."--Charles Garvin, PhD, School of Social Work, University of Michigan
"For any cognitive-behavioral clinician who has ever asked, 'Why am I having such a difficult time helping my client change?', Leahy has provided an engaging, thought-provoking, integrative text that addresses this question most effectively. The text will appeal to therapists at all levels of experience, offering interesting variations on conceptual themes about why clients think and act in ways that maintain their problematic status quo in life, and in therapy. The book also succeeds in guiding therapists to assess and manage their own unwitting contributions to their clients' resistance, and thus become more adept in helping clients to progress."--Cory F. Newman, PhD, ABPP, Director, Center for Cognitive Therapy, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine
"Every so often, a clinical text is written that offers an innovative, rich perspective on a previously neglected problem of immense clinical importance. This volume achieves such heights. A 'must read' for any clinician who has been challenged by resistance in the therapy session, the volume is full of practical insight and treatment suggestions presented in a scholarly, thoughtful, and yet pragmatic fashion. Leahy addresses a significant gap in the cognitive-behavioral literature, integrating his clinical experience with psychoanalytic, behavioral, developmental, social, and cognitive theory and research on the topic. Whether a novice or expert in cognitive therapy, the reader will find this a stimulating and thought-provoking text with immediate application to the therapy session. It will be a valuable resource for graduate courses or professional workshops on cognitive therapy."--David A. Clark, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of New Brunswick, Canada
"This volume fills an important gap. In his inimitable style, Robert Leahy addresses a topic that has been neglected by cognitive-behavioral therapists: how to work effectively with the client who is reluctant to embrace the many technical interventions the therapy offers. The book is easy to read and immediately useful to all cognitive-behavioral therapists, from students to experienced clinicians. This book will serve as an excellent supplementary text for graduate courses in cognitive-behavioral therapy. It is thought-provoking and rich, with dozens of clinical examples of effective work by an experienced and masterful therapist."--Jacqueline B. Persons, PhD, San Francisco Bay Area Center for Cognitive Therapy, and University of California, Berkeley

"I was very impressed....I found it easy to assimilate Leahy's conceptualization of resistance into the cognitive paradigm....Reading this text offers providers a rich opportunity to learn about their own schemas and how they affect relationships with patients. The text has something to offer any provider who conducts cognitive therapy--not just for depression, but for any problem. In addition, Part 3 is an excellent resource for clinical supervision of students, interns, and residents. I plan to use Leahy's Therapist's Schema Questionnaire to help cognitive therapy students recognize their own schemas and manage them to optimize therapeutic change....I enthusiastically praise Overcoming Resistance in Cognitive Therapy as a pioneering attempt to improve upon cognitive therapy. The author of this text is an undisputed superstar in the cognitive-behavioral, scientific community. The concepts discussed in this book are truly visionary."--Psychiatry: Interpersonal & Biological Processes
