"A Casebook of Cognitive Therapy for Traumatic Stress Reactions is the best book to date on this topic. This uniformly outstanding casebook thoughtfully illustrates creative and practical treatment guidelines derived from the latest trauma research. Therapist-client dialogues facilitate a three-dimensional appreciation of central therapy processes. Many topics glossed over in other PTSD manuals are afforded detailed discussion such as how to manage suicidal ideation and how to choose treatment priorities when trauma reactions are co-morbid with other disorders. The chapter on the use of language interpreters in trauma therapy compassionately sets guidelines for assessing and addressing interpreters' emotional reactions so these do not compromise client care or cause harm to the interpreter. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to every clinician, whether novice or expert, and predict it will quickly become one of the most dog-eared books on your desk from frequent and welcome use." - Christine A. Padesky, Co-Founder, Center for Cognitive Therapy, Huntington Beach, California, USA
"CBT is at the forefront of research into PTSD and other disorders so the book will deliver new material and the range of traumatic reactions to be discussed is, to my knowledge, not currently found elsewhere...it's likely to be a set book for PTSD courses." - Michael Neenan
"At an academic level I probably have not done the book justice in terms of the wealth of information it provides. I hope the contributors will understand that it is partly due to my limited knowledge of cognitive therapy and trauma, and my different training orientation. Bearing those factors in mind, I congratulate the authors and editor that I still gained so much from this book." - Janet Dandy, The Independent Practitioner, Summer 2010
