In addition to his research on depression, Dr. Dobson has written about developments in professional psychology and ethics, and he has been actively involved in psychology organizations, including a term as President of the Canadian Psychological Association. He was a member of the University of Calgary Research Ethics Board for many years and is President of the Academy of Cognitive Therapy as well as President-Elect of the Inter- national Association for Cognitive Psychotherapy. Dr. Dobson is a recipient of the Canadian Psychological Association’s Award for Distinguished Contribu- tions to the Profession of Psychology. v IN MEMORIAM Albert Ellis, PhD (1913–2007) Albert Ellis, PhD, was a titan in the field of psychotherapy. His collected works include more than 70 books and 700 articles in the areas of psychotherapy, sex, love and relationships, religion, and research in psychotherapy, among a wide range of other topics. Notably, he was the originator of rational emotive therapy, which he later renamed as rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT), and he was certainly a sustained luminary in the field of cognitive-behavioral therapy. Dr. Ellis was also a key contributor to this volume; from its inception he supported the book and he wanted REBT represented within its pages. Dr. Ellis died on July 24, 2007, of natural causes. His death has left an enormous void in the field. The loss of his humor, wit, and intelligence, as well as his candid and direct character, will be missed by all whose lives he had touched. vii Contributors Donald H.

Webb, MA, Department of Psychology, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Jeffrey Young, PhD, Schema Therapy Institute, New York, New York Preface When the first edition of the Handbook of Cognitive-Behavioral Thera- pies was published in 1988, I would not have guessed that it would become a mainstay in the field of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). More than 20 years later, though, this volume is regularly used in training programs and has been translated into Italian and Portuguese. It has been gratifying to see that the breadth and depth of CBT have increased and to have been a part of that process. The third edition reflects a continuing belief in the importance of CBT. As I noted in the preface to the first edition, at that time there really was no comprehensive book, written by the best experts in the field, that covered the broad domain of CBT. The completion of this edition reflects the belief that the publisher and I continue to have that it fills an important place in the CBT literature. The intended audience remains one that is learning about psycho- therapy and wishes to explore the growth in the cognitive-behavioral models. This edition contains several important changes. While some of the core chapters discussing conceptual issues in CBT are retained, as are chapters on fundamental CBT therapies, some of the chapters in the second edition have been replaced or supplemented here. In addition to critical chapters on prob- lem-solving therapy, rational emotive behavior therapy, and cognitive therapy, the therapy chapters now include a discussion of schema-focused cognitive therapy and acceptance-based interventions, as these approaches have contin- ued to gain prominence in the field. A new chapter focuses on the application of CBT to diverse populations, which is particularly important as CBT prin- ciples and practices become further disseminated. One of the important new chapters in this edition is that on the evidence base for CBT. In the preface to the second edition I wrote about the empirically supported treatment movement and my belief that “the field of psychotherapy must move to a transparent, common-sense, evidence-based set of practices as soon as possible, in order to fulfill the mission of providing a human service that is worthy of the public’s investment of trust, confidence, time, energy, and xi xii Preface money.” This chapter does much to reveal that the evidence base for CBT has grown dramatically in a fairly short period of time, and that the public gener- ally can invest its trust in CBT. In the second edition preface, I also wrote: “Although the field of cognitive-behavioral therapies has
