Corrie and Lane’s ‘First Steps in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy’ outlines the basic concepts, techniques and widening applications of the most empirically validated form of psychotherapy. It is well written and easy to understand. The authors, both highly respected leaders in the field, have produced one the most accessible texts on the subject that I have ever had the pleasure of reading. A valuable resource with wide appeal to anyone interested in learning about CBT from the simply curious to HR practitioners, coaches and students.

«Sarah Corrie and David Lane present the first steps in CBT with remarkable and consistent clarity even when dealing with relatively complex topics. In my opinion, this is an excellent introduction to CBT and will be enjoyed by many students and trainees entering this field.

I’ve spent many years as a CBT Practitioner and read many books on the subject and for me this one really stands out. Why? – Because from the very start the authors of First Steps in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy form a relationship with the reader supporting their learning and understanding from beginning to end. This book is skillfully structured, beautifully written, and packed with examples and applications that relate to a wide range of contexts including `everyday living’. Care is taken to exclude no-one as each chapter of the book moves seamlessly through introductory principles and concepts, theory, research and practical applications. Whether you are an experienced or novice therapist, a coach, a professional from a completely different context, a potential or actual client, or none of these, the book is written in a way that all can relate to and apply to their own unique life - past, present and future. The exercises at the end of each chapter facilitate the reader in getting the most out of the book. They include getting to know how your mind works, analyzing your own behaviour, reflecting on experience, using imagery to help you achieve your goal, keeping a diary of how you spend your time and enabling yourself for the world of tomorrow.
This is a shorter book than many on the subject, and I suspect that once you start reading it you won’t want to put it down. What could be complex and dry material is presented in a powerful, lively, simple (but far from simplistic) way, and it cannot fail to touch its readers in ways that impact on their own lives and also others with whom they interact professionally or personally. I highly recommend this book by Sarah Corrie and David Lane.
