Wenzel, Dobson, and Hays elucidate and portray some of the key principles and therapeutic processes that are practiced by effective cognitive behavioral therapists. The organization roughly follows the temporal sequence of a typical application in that they begin with a discussion of the usual ways they think broadly about the field and then conceptualize the cognitive behavioral approaches to psychotherapy. They cover assessment and case conceptualization, session structure and behavioral strategies, problem solving, cognitive restructuring of automatic thoughts and underlying beliefs, relapse prevention and the completion of treatment, culturally responsive cognitive behavioral therapy.
