Reviewed By Jack Magnus for Readers' Favorite *****CBT Worksheets: CBT Worksheets for CBT Therapists in Training is a non-fiction occupational, self-help book written by Dr. James Manning and Dr. Nicola Ridgeway. This book provides a compilation of worksheets for use with clients engaged in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In addition to providing sample forms, the authors discuss how they are used and provide demonstrative samples that address typical issues CBT clients may have. CBT Worksheets begins with a discussion of the importance of diary keeping by clients. While acknowledging that many clients are not particularly enthusiastic about diary keeping, the different types of diary forms illustrate that diaries can extend beyond the traditional concept of diary into cataloging thoughts, feelings, physiological responses, and behavior. Detailed problem lists are shown to have use in helping clients realize and chart the progress they are making as they continue with their therapy. Writing fosters a sense of detachment from one's feelings, the authors argue, which makes it possible for them to view things more dispassionately and gain a sense of self-reflection. Other worksheets help clients work through limiting beliefs and conditional assumptions and show how old negative rules can be molded into new affirmative rules. Lists of Regulatory Agencies in the UK, Glossary of Terms, References and Listing of Common Medications for treating Anxiety Disorders are included in the Index to this workbook.Dr. James Manning and Dr. Nicola Ridgeway's non-fiction occupational, self-help book, CBT Worksheets: CBT Worksheets for CBT Therapists in Training, offers the CBT Therapist in Training a comprehensive collection of worksheets with guidelines for how they are used in therapy. As a layperson who's read and reviewed several of the authors' other books on CBT, which were geared towards patients, I was fascinated to see how this book encompassed those others and built upon them. While I understand that it includes some exercises best worked on under a therapist's guidance, I found a number of intriguing worksheets that seem suited for individual work, especially the Safe Place Exercise, and consider the FMDS (Future Most Developed Self Exercise) to be absolutely brilliant. I also particularly enjoyed the chapter which discusses the human brain. The authors wrote this book in such a way that it will be easily accessible to their target audience, and the glossary is a handy reference/refresher as well. CBT Worksheets: CBT Worksheets for CBT Therapists in Training is most highly recommended.Reviewed By Divine Zape for Readers' Favorite *****CBT Worksheets: CBT Worksheets for CBT Therapists in Training by Dr James Manning and Dr Nicola Ridgeway is another practical workbook for therapists in training, a must-have tool for any professional in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) who wants to take his or her work seriously and who wants to be taken seriously as well. The book is the work of genius, an evident result of long professional experience, research, and expertise. For most professionals, creating work tools can be very challenging as it involves a lot of discipline, research, and time, but Dr James Manning and Dr Nicola Ridgeway have done the job for both therapists and their clients. The title of this powerful tool can be misleading as it suggests that it is intended for therapists in training, but the material offered can be used by both experienced professionals and rookies in the field of psychology.Readers will find a wide range of exercises and diaries that can be used for clients with different needs. I found Chapter 4 to be particularly interesting - perhaps because I have a strong inclination toward anger - and the exercises are well thought-out and formulated in an easy and very accessible language. This part of the book can help any reader - not only the professionals - to understand how to deal with the powerful emotions and limiting thoughts that can affect their emotional and psychological health. Apart from being a formidable tool for CBT professionals, CBT Worksheets: CBT Worksheets for CBT Therapists in Training is the perfect tool for anyone who is committed to living a healthy lifestyle. Readers will find a ton of useful information in this book, gain clarity about their emotional health, and find the tools they need to transform their lives.

Can I download this as pdf too? The workbook is great but presentation is everything!

I love this book, its so simple and easy to use. I wonder though, if a pdf version is available so printable worksheets can be accessed without breaking up the book.

I ordered this book and the worksheets are excellent. They will be extremely useful. I have only given 4 stars as it is very difficult to photocopy despite it being advertised as such. I really had to bend the book to get it to lie as flat as it could. A spiral bound version would be much more helpfu.

I bought it for the "readily accessible portfolio of worksheets" and handouts that the book says we "are welcome to photocopy". Snag is, the only way to copy them properly is by breaking the spine of the book to get the sheets to lay flat for full-screen copying.Ideally the book would have been spiral bound.For that reason, I originally said that I felt that the book was not terribly and an opportunity wasted IMO.However DR James kindly responded to my review and very promptly (same day) sent me a PDF of the entire book from which I can easily print the worksheets.I start a placement in the next few weeks where they use CBT as their modality, so I will see then how useful the worksheets are in use.

A like another reviewer, I have also had trouble with photocopying these easy-to-use diagrams. The diagrams themselves are great, however I am a CBT therapist, and it would have been helpful if they were easier to copy. Would be really interested in obtaining a copy of the PDF version of this book also if it is available anywhere? NHS CBT Therapist

Lots of wonderful worksheets that I can’t wait to use in my practice, but - as with other reviewers - very difficult to photocopy as it isn’t spiral-bound. I’m wondering how I would be able to obtain a PDF version as other reviewers have done, as I can’t find contact details for the author?

Good book
