Article Abstract

From our regular book review column.

Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), in the words of David Clark in the preface to Science and Practice of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, "has become a leading psychotherapy in most Western countries . . . [because] . . . of the close link between science and practice." This volume attempts to review the prodigious literature on the theoretical and practical bases for CBT.
