"Hofmann is a leading thinker in the field of cognitive-behavioral therapy. He does an excellent job of synthesizing findings from psychology and brain sciences to help better understand how the concept of emotion fits into the therapeutic process. I learned a great deal from this book." Joseph E. LeDoux, PhD, Center for Neural Science and Department of Psychology, New York University. "The book illustrates how affective science can be translated into clinical practice, honing in on techniques that are useful for treatment of a variety of emotional problems.
The many 'In Practice' features will be of particular interest to clinicians, as they provide a veritable bounty of practical information. The summaries of clinically relevant points at the end of each chapter also provide useful guideposts. Clinicians will find this book both accessible and useful - a winning combination." Ann M. Kring, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of California, Berkeley.
"If you want a thoughtful translation of multidisciplinary research on emotion into clinical applications, you must read this book. It provides an excellent overview of the field, shows how emotion is a core aspect of the majority of psychological problems, and distills a set of cognitive-behavioral clinical strategies for working with emotion. By integrating work with emotion into a cognitive-behavioral approach, Hofmann makes a wonderful contribution to the trend toward psychotherapy integration." Leslie S.
Greenberg, PhD, Distinguished Research Professor Emeritus, Department of Psychology, York University, Canada. "This excellent book meets the need for a bridge between fundamental emotion research and the clinical field. It will be most helpful for students and clinicians in increasing their understanding of emotions-functional and dysfunctional-which form the essence of human life and are central to most psychopathology." Arnoud Arntz, PhD,
