Cognitive behavioural therapists face numerous instances during each session and throughout the course of treatment in which they must make a clinical decision. These ""decision points"" include instances in which any number of clinical issues could be addressed, a specific intervention is not achieving its desired effect, the patient does not understand or accept the rationale for the technique, or a crisis has emerged that requires a shift in focus.<br><br>This book describes strategic decision making, a flexible yet evidenced-based approach to working through decision points in order to move treatment forward in cognitive behavioural therapy. It dispels the myth that there is a single ""right"" therapeutic intervention that must be delivered in any one instance; in fact, many courses of action can facilitate change provided they are implemented strategically.<br><br>Strategic decisions:<ul><li>follow logically from the case conceptualization</li><li>are arrived upon collaboratively between the therapist and patient</li><li>allow the patient to leave the session with something new</li><li>are seen through in their entirety before their effectiveness is evaluated</li><li>This compelling, accessible book will benefit all cognitive behavioural therapists, especially those who have mastered basic concepts and are refining their skills in applying them to complex cases. </li></ul>
