Learning Psychotherapy: A Time- Efficient, Research-Based, and Outcome- Measured Psychotherapy Training Program and Seminar Leader's Manual

From our regular book review column.

Learning Psychotherapy, along with its companion volume, Learning Psychotherapy: Seminar Leader’s Manual, is the text/workbook for the psychotherapy training program commonly known as the "Missouri Modules." Dr. Beitman is Professor and Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry and Neurology at the University of Missouri-Columbia. Dr. Yue, of China Medical University in Shenyang, China, collaborated for the purpose of developing a psychotherapy training program for China. She is currently a resident in psychiatry at the University of Missouri-Columbia. The Modules have received rapid acceptance by a number of training programs in the United States and abroad, including Vanderbilt, where I am residency training director and course leader. This review is therefore written by one who has attended a "Train the Trainers" seminar, taught the course in its entirety once, and is about to begin a second year of teaching the course to psychiatric residents.
