Reviews

′An engaging textbook which explores ′low intensity interventions′ and modes of delivery whilst placing equal emphasis on the therapeutic value of the relationship between service user and practitioner′ -
Jane Briddon, APIMH Primary Mental Health Care MSC, University of Manchester

Overall, this book provides a clear overview not only of best practice in using low intensity CBT but also how to be a good scientist-practitioner, regardless of the therapy modality. Concise and clear in its presentation, it will engage and inform the reader, whether read cover to cover or selectively.
