Freeman (counseling, education, psychology, and social work; U. of St. Francis, Indiana) is joined by practitioners James Pretzer, Barbara Fleming, and Karen M. Simon to provide a reference for colleagues on applying cognitive therapy in clinical practice. They set out the principles and methods, explain applications in axis I disorders and personality disorders, and applications in such contexts as couples and children and adolescents. Possible complications, especially interpersonal complexities, are also part of their discussion. The first edition was published in 1990. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
