Deliberate practice in cognitive-behavioral therapy. Boswell J. F., Konstantino M.J.

A comprehensive acquaintance with the theoretical and practical literature on KPT is important, but this knowledge can never replace the direct practical experience with customers. However, students have relatively few practical possibilities in a wide range of clinical skills that are theoretically at their disposal. Exercises on deliberate practice, proposed in this book, are just designed to provide such an opportunity to teach experience - for training in practice. Moreover, students are given the opportunity to practice not only what they would say to the client, but also how they would do this, which is often no less important.

this book presents exercises in deliberate practice , in which students and interns worked out the fundamental skills of the CPT until they become natural and automatic. Step -by -step instructions help participants perform exercises, determine the criteria for mastering each skill and explain how to control and adjust the complexity. Guide principles are also provided that will help instructors and interns receive the maximum return on training.
