Why Not Cbt?: Against and for Cbt Revisited

I welcome this book for its varied and challenging perspectives. None of us should be afraid to stop, think and reflect on our ways of working. I hope that these different perspectives lead to reflection and improved understanding across therapies. --Professor Chris Williams, President of the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies

In the ongoing debate between promoters of CBT and those who champion humanistic, person-centered and meaning-focused psychotherapies, I can think of no other single book that gives practitioners of any persuasion a compass by which to navigate the liquid cultural moment. --Maureen O Hara PhD, Professor of Psychology, National University, US, and Director, International Futures Forum-US

This book is a must-read for both those troubled by the basis of CBT's dominance in the field of psychotherapy, and also those who are persuaded by the rhetoric put out by CBT's supporters. The critique found in this collection of essays is broad-ranging, deep and utterly convincing. --Farhad Dalal, psychotherapist and group analyst, and author of CBT: The Cognitive Behavioural Tsunami
