Zusammenfassung:	"It is reasonable to ask why the field needs another book on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). After all, high-quality texts and treatment manuals describing specific procedures, strategies, and techniques for the delivery of CBT have been in existence for more than 30 years. These texts and treatment manuals have been invaluable in disseminating CBT and ensuring that CBT is delivered with integrity. Without them, I could not have drafted the present volume. Despite the availability of this vast array of texts and treatment manuals, I continually encounter therapists at all stages of their careers wondering, "How, exactly, do I implement this in the real world with real-life patients?" "That didn't work--what do I do next?" and "I didn't expect that to happen in session--how should I handle it?" In these instances, it seems like there needs to be a "middle step" that translates the procedures, strategies, and techniques described in many CBT texts and treatment manuals to their in-session application. I essentially served as that middle step for the past several years, when I provided intensive training and consultation to therapists, both locally and nationally, who were hoping to achieve competency in CBT. Over time, I developed a "curriculum" of sorts, which contained important pointers and insights that I had developed from my clinical practice, my scholarly work, and my training and consulting work. I found that this curriculum addressed the vast majority of clinical decisions and problems that my trainees encountered in session. At one point, one of my trainees strongly encouraged me to write a book with these pointers and insights so that they could all be found in one place. This volume is the result of that suggestion. The single most important piece of wisdom that I have gained from my clinical, training, and consulting experiences is that strategy is key in the delivery of CBT (as it is with any evidence All the while, the therapist maintains an open, collaborative relationship with the patient, such that the patient understands the rationale for the various techniques that are being implemented and provides feedback in order to customize the techniques to his or her own life circumstances"--Preface.
