Padesky’s CBT Books & Tech Recommendations

This is a work in progress. We continue to add/remove from our inventory.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) is one of the most successful, empirically based psychotherapies of all time. It has been shown to be highly effective for the treatment of depression, anxiety, trauma, health worries, eating disorders, substance abuse, and a wide variety of medical disorders. It has also been shown to be effective as an adjunctive treatment to medication for bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.

cover of dialogues for discovery book

For clinicians, researchers, professors, and students. 

“Although the use of Socratic dialogue and guided discovery have long been encouraged in psychotherapy, it is only in the last decade or so that enough data has gathered to give clear clinical guidance about their use. Dialogues for Discovery is an exceptional resource for therapists seeking to guide their clients towards discovery and hope. This book provides practical guidance and strategies for managing common therapy impasses and dilemmas, such as low client motivation, inflexible beliefs, and alliance ruptures. It is a clinically sophisticated guide that is grounded in empirical evidence and theoretical knowledge”
