The aim of this Handbook of Homework Assignments in Psychotherapy: Research, Pr- tice, and Prevention is to provide comprehensive resource on the role of homework assignments in psychotherapy and prevention. However, the process of generalizing in-session therapeutic work through between-session activity has a long history in psychotherapy. This Handbook is designed to elucidate and extend that history by presenting theoretical and clinically focused descriptions of the role of homework assignments in a range of psychotherapies, clinical populations, and presenting pr- lems. Designed for both the beginning and the experienced psychotherapy prac- tioner, this Handbook assumes a basic knowledge of psychopathology and practice of psychotherapy and prevention. The Handbook aims to contribute to the professional resources for all psychotherapy practitioners and researchers, in private and public practice, graduate students in clinical and counseling psychology, couple and f- ily therapists, as well as residents in psychiatry. This book does not aim to review the theories of psychotherapy in detail, speci?c treatments of psychopathology, cl- ical assessment, or basic psychotherapy and prevention processes that are currently available in numerous psychotherapy textbooks. This Handbook is a clinical resource designed to provide a focused coverage of how to integrate homework assignments into psychotherapy practice, and in the prevention of mental illness. Outline for the Handbook This Handbook comprises four distinct parts.

It is not often that readers find a book productively spanning research and clinical fields. This book is just such a gem. It combines empirical support with functional suggestions and germane case examples. In addition, it is written at a level that will be useful to graduate students, fledgling therapists, and experienced clinicians. Along with these features, the book's superb organization and broad coverage of diverse psychotherapeutic approaches, populations, and disorders endows it with a must-have quality. -Christopher J. Graver, PhD, Doody's Reviews This handbook brings together top experts in the field who in turn shed light on the many dimensions of using homework as a successful psychotherapeutic intervention. The Handbook is an excellent resource for practicing psychotherapists who want to learn practical and meaningful ways in which to use homework effectively. Psychotherapists-in-training will find the information presented a useful resource throughout their training and beyond. There is an excellent coverage of how homework can be effectively use across theoretical approaches and client populations. -Nicholas Ladany, Ph.D., Department of Education and Human Services, Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, USA Most psychotherapy interventions make use of homework, but rarely has this activity been examined in an in-depth fashion. The Handbook of Homework Assignments in Psychotherapy fills this gap nicely. The Editors and Authors do a superb job, and the volume's comprehensive approach across the major therapeutic orientations will be useful to both experienced and novice clinicians. This book is a must for all clinicians interested in improving the effectiveness of their treatment. -Rick E. Ingram, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas, USA
