Acknowledgments
We have been married for over thirty years, have raised our children together, and have had countless
discussions about our patients and CBT. This book comes out of our partnership.
The book would not have been possible without our many client and patients who were willing to
share their stories and problems, and in the process help us learn to apply CBT principles and become
better therapists.
We would like to thank the editors at New Harbinger for their enthusiasm and support for this
project and for all of their helpful guidance. We would particularly like to thank Elizabeth Hollis
Hansen and Vicraj Gill, who always had time for our numerous questions. Rona Bernstein provided
detailed and constructive advice that greatly improved the final drafts.
Nina would like to thank her many students at the University of Toronto, as well as all of the par-
ticipants in the various workshops she has given over the years. This book would not exist without the
many gifted students whose questions pushed her to think about how to explain CBT.
We would also like to thank our many colleagues and friends who read parts or all of the manu-
script. In particular, Dr. Joyce Isbitsky was never too busy to read and reread numerous versions of the
same chapter, our research assistant Julie Hong was invaluable, and our friend Bernice Eisenstein was
particularly helpful.
David would like to thank Zindel Segal, Martin M. Antony, and Cynthia Crawford, who over many
years of friendship were always willing to discuss challenging cases. David would also like to thank Dr.
David Conn, Dr. Victoria Lee, and his many wonderful colleagues at Baycrest for their ongoing support
and friendship. He would also like to thank the Geriatric Psychiatry Outreach Team, and in particular
Joy Lipkin, Nira Rittenberg, and Peggy Solomon.
