"A truly important book. This new approach to the treatment of the emotion-based disorders specifies in a lucid and accessible way a coherent group of strategies and procedures for addressing the processes that maintain these disorders. Strongly recommended."--Christopher G. Fairburn, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry, University of Oxford "With admirable grace, David Barlow's Unified Protocol segues through a series of evidence-based change techniques. Discussions of motivational interviewing, cognitive flexibility, and empathy are especially lucid. Hats off to the authorship team! Thanks for leading us into a new era of evidence-based practice."--Bonnie Spring, Ph.D., Department of Preventive Medicine, Northwestern University "The unified protocol distills the core strategies emerging from the cognitive and behavioral interventions into a common set of principles that can be applied broadly to treat a diverse array of emotional and psychological disorders. The approach has great merit and represents a valuable advance in the field of clinical interventions."--Steven D. Hollon, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, Vanderbilt University "In addressing the two problems of comorbidity and transdiagnostic symptoms, David Barlow and his colleagues have developed a treatment program with wide applicability in everyday clinical practice--important for all mental health professionals."--Richard J. McNally, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, Harvard University "The therapist guide and patient workbook provide an important step-by-step resource for therapists, as well as education and concrete treatment strategies for patients themselves."--Suzanne Bennett Johnson, Ph.D., Distinguished Research Professor, Florida State University College of Medicine "Barlow and colleagues provide an outstanding clinical tool in their Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders. Superbly written and truly at the cutting edge of the field!"--Michelle G. Craske, PhD., Professor and Vice-Chair, Department of Psychology, UCLA
