Dr. John Ludgate has come up with more than 60 reproducible handouts,
worksheets, and forms for therapists and clients alike. Following the
skill-development focus of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, homework
assignments are an intrinsic part of CBT practice. The homework
assignments and handouts facilitate learning and generalization of
skills that are helpful in reducing distress or changing behaviors. Each
section describes: who the resource is applicable to, when in therapy
it is introduced, how to introduce it to the clients, how to deal with
common problems that may come up, and recommended additional resources
for therapists and clients. Book also includes a link for purchasers to download reproducible materials and audio recordings for personal use, or for use with individual clients.
Reviews
"In clear, simple language, John Ludgate lays out the basic principles of
Cognitive-Behavior Therapy and describes a wide range of problems for
which CBT is useful. Better yet, he provides a treasure trove of
worksheets and forms to help practitioners and clients deal with life’s
problems more effectively. I highly recommend this book, written by one
of CBT’s master clinicians and trainers."
-Scott Temple, PhD, Clinical Professor, Departments of Psychiatry & Medicine, University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics
"Clinicians have been gifted this masterfully created collection of handouts, broken down with clinical explanations and detailed instructions, to maximize the effectiveness of the homework and in-session procedures used in CBT. This allows clinicians everywhere to share the benefits of these pre-created and succinct handouts with their clients as they embark together in the treatment process."
-Susan D. OldenKamp, LCPC, NCC, Founder of the CBT Center of Idaho, Certified CBT Diplomate of the Academy of Cognitive Therapy
"John Ludgate has compiled a treasure trove of clinical handouts and worksheets suitable for the CBT-oriented clinician. This wonderful resource offers materials for supporting therapeutic change that are practical and user-friendly. I enthusiastically recommend it."
