by John W. Ludgate

Reviews

"This book is an indispensable source for helping clients stay well after treatment.  Practical and concise, it is based on sound research demonstrating that this approach empowers clients with the tools they need to continue to 'be their own therapist' after formal therapy ends."      -Judith S. Beck, PhD, Director, Beck Institute for Cognitive Therapy & Research; Clinical Associate Professor of Psychology in Psychiatry, University of Pennsylvania; Past President, Academy of Cognitive Therapy

"One of the greatest challenges that we face as psychotherapists is that at least one third of the clients that we treat will relapse at one time or another.  This statistic is only likely to escalate as the severity of psychopathology increases in our society.  Dr. John Ludgate has crafted a unique and concise resource for practitioners that offers a number of outstanding techniques and strategies for building maintenance and relapse prevention with depressive and anxiety disorders.  This book is a must for trainees or any practitioner interested in improving the quality and success rate of their treatment deliver."      -Frank M. Dattilio, PhD, ABPP, Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School
