'The Cognitive Behavioral Analysis System
of Psychotherapy (CBASP) is novel, systematic,
and has undergone empirical evaluation. Now
McCullough has provided an additional tool
to aid in the dissemination of this new evidence-based
treatment for chronic depression. A gifted
clinician and teacher, McCullough not only
has determined what needs to be taught, but
also has developed an excellent method for
doing so. The Skills Training Manual offers
clinicians instant feedback on their mastery
of key CBASP concepts. The exercises are challenging,
while the feedback is gentle and encouraging.'

'In his creative blending of cognitive,
behavioral, and interpersonal strategies,
McCullough speaks directly to the clinician,
clearly outlining and illustrating how to
intervene effectively when working with chronically
depressed patients. Recognizing that the
feeling of not being able to get what one
wants is at the core of this depression,
McCullough provides clinically sound guidelines
for helping patients to overcome the cognitive,
affective, and behavioral obstacles to having
their needs met.'
