Jarrett, Ph.D., Elizabeth H. Penn Professor of Clinical Psychology, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas There are several good introductory books on cognitive-behavior therapy.

Beck, M.D., University Professor of Psychiatry, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania I used the Wright, Basco, and Thase book in my basic intervention class, which was the first CBT class I took a while ago and I loved it. It has clear examples and explanations, a DVD with sample sessions, and really builds a strong foundation for cognitive behavioral therapy -- especially for people who are new to it. I have referred back to this book for many different things since the class -- specifically I use the forms that are available with the book such as examining evidence worksheets etc. and a great starting case conceptualization sheet. As a student, I really like it and from this perspective, I would recommend it. Erica L. Wagner, M.A., Third Year Clinical PsyD Student, The Chicago School of Professional Psychology
