This book is a self-guided manual for clinicians wishing to become experts in TEAM-CBT psychotherapy skills using the principles of Deliberate Practice (DP). TEAM-CBT is a major development in the workflow and effectiveness of traditional cognitive behavioral therapy, developed by Dr. David Burns. Deliberate Practice is a structured form of learning that entails focused attention, is consistently goal oriented, and includes immediate feedback and successive refinement of skills. Written to be used in clinical training programs, the content is based on empirical research and retains a practical focus on the acquiring of skills that directly affect client outcome. The first part of the book provides a brief introduction to TEAM-CBT and guidance for delivering TEAM-CBT in a flexible client-focused manner. Subsequent chapters provide a series of increasingly challenging DP exercises from beginning to advanced, focused on the essential clinical skills of TEAM-CBT. The fifth part of the book provides a transcript of a real therapy session modeling all of the skills covered in the book. It then summarizes of the material and provides learning aids for trainees and supervisors. ● Clinicians in all levels of training will benefit from: ● Skill building of empirically based methods ● Inspiring case examples ● Practical, structured exercises. "Mike and Maor have infused this amazing book with magic and warmth. It will transform your practice and bring joy and feelings of mastery into your ongoing clinical growth. Enjoy!" David Burns, MD.
