Reviews

Taylor--a CBT master therapist--has revised and updated his A to Z volume that is a 'must read' for every clinician treating PTSD and every clinical student. Including recent innovations, the book is accessible and features case examples throughout. The book reviews the literature and delves into assessment, case formulation, cognitive interventions, exposure exercises, and, in a new chapter, combining CBT with pharmacotherapy. Even seasoned clinicians will discover new information that will change their practice. --Barbara Olasov Rothbaum, PhD, ABPP, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Emory University School of Medicine This second edition is a masterpiece, blending Taylor's long experience and deep understanding of PTSD with many practical recommendations. It provides a clear review of the latest evidence for the benefits and limitations of CBT. The book gives many illustrations of how treatment is delivered, highlighting the importance of taking a flexible approach. Of particular value are the discussions of specific populations--such as children, older adults, and those with substance use problems--as well as the coverage of how other PTSD treatments interface with CBT. I recommend this book to graduate students and professionals alike as an authoritative text, a hands-on guide, and an excellent reference source. --Jonathan R. T.
