This book presents a framework for the use of Socratic strategies in psychotherapy and counseling.
The framework has been fine-tuned in multiple large-scale cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) training initiatives and is presented and demonstrated with applied case examples. The text is rich with case examples, tips, tricks, strategies, and methods for dealing with the most entrenched of beliefs. The authors draw from diverse therapies and theoretical orientation to present a framework that is flexible and broadly applicable. The book also contains extensive guidance on troubleshooting the Socratic process. Readers will learn how to apply this framework to specialty populations such as patients with borderline personality disorder who are receiving dialectical behavior therapy. Additional chapters contain explicit guidance on how to layer intervention to bring about change in core belief and schema.
This book is a must read for therapists in training, early career professionals, supervisors, trainers, and any clinician looking to refine and enhance their ability to use Socratic strategies to bring about lasting change.

"This excellent volume is a thorough yet approachable resource for
any new or seasoned mental health professional who is eager to
learn traditional cognitive behavioral therapy techniques. The
authors have illuminated the historical and theoretical roots of
Socratic strategies while simultaneously providing the reader with
clear direction for therapeutic applications of this method by way
of case conceptualization, clinical examples, and practice
dialogues." — Aaron T. Beck, MD, originator of cognitive therapy,
USA"Socratic questioning is one of the most omnipresent and
important dimensions of psychotherapeutic presence in cognitive and
behavioral therapies, but it is also one of the least discussed
topics in the field. The authors do a masterful job in shedding
light on one of the essential components of effective, modern CBT.
Highly recommended!" — Dennis Tirch, PhD, founding director of the
