“All over, this book is very practical and to be recommended to therapists that want to get an insight into how problems associated with psychotic experiences can be efficiently treated psychologically.”  (Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapy, 1 January 2014)

“While not a workbook that readers can use to guide CBT sessions with patients, it provides a nice overview of the evidence supporting the use of CBT and could be helpful for any clinicians working with these challenging patients.”  (Doody’s, 12 July 2013)

This is an excellent and timely book. It reflects the recent developments in the Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for psychosis (CBTp) literature, which have focused on specific approaches for different presentations within the heterogeneous category of psychosis. Each chapter is based on a recent randomised controlled trial, carried out by the leaders in the field. As such the book provides state-of-the-art information about the latest trial findings, coupled with detailed and helpful protocols on how to deliver these interventions. It will prove indispensable to researchers and clinicians who are interested in finding out and applying the latest developments in CBTp.—Dr Emmanuelle Peters,Senior Lecturer in Clinical Psychology, Institute of Psychiatry, Director of PICuP (Psychological Interventions Clinic for outpatients with Psychosis), South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation
