I got the book in plenty of time, it was the cheapest and it was exactly what the distributor promised.

Contemporary Behavior Therapy by Michael D. Spiegler and Dave C. Guevremont is a thorough overview of one of the most effective therapies known to modern psychology. It is a very well written, well organized, and easy to understand book. It breaks down and clearly demarcates all concepts related to the theoretical constructs defining this ever-important behavioral paradigm. This book is also an excellent read for anyone desiring to learn more about the cutting edge concepts operating in modern psychology today. If you are a serious student of psychology, you will not want to sell this one back.

This book is easy to read, providing a broad overview of contemporary behaviour therapy issues. Having read it cover to cover, I would recommend this book be read in conjunction with further, more detailed texts to flush out the finer details as the authors cover a number of therapy and models generally without going into much depth. However as a general introductory text, the authors have in my opinion delivered a useful package with elements of behaviour therapy successfully complimented by real-life examples of case studies and useful end-of-chapter summaries. The textbook comes with an additional student resource materials/participation worksheet booklet which unfortunately I did not find useful. A good book for the undergraduate level.
