Review:
“Dr. Schott’s LGBTQI Workbook for CBT is a practical and most useful resource for social work students and mental health practitioners in the field. The workbook provides a panoply of exercises, resources, and tools for self-reflection, action planning, and strengthening of the therapeutic alliance via the lens of affirming practice and principles of CBT.” – Michael P. Dentato, PhD, MSW, Associate Professor of Social Work, Loyola University Chicago, author of Social Work Practice with the LGBTQ Community.
“LGBTQI Workbook for CBT is a very welcomed answer to the perennial question about affirmative practice with queer people: But, how do you do that? This text is imminently readable, extremely pragmatic, and perfectly economical in breadth and depth — for both the client system and clinicians alike. Dr. Schott has distilled CBT in an effective way for all users, while simultaneously infusing CBT with the core ethos and practical strategies that promote queer validation and that help users along a path of healing from minority stress and anti-LGBTQ+ oppression. This should not only be part of the intervention toolbox when working with LGBTQ+ people — but it should be part of the educational archive for training practitioners.” – Tyler M. Argüello, PhD, DCSW, LCSW, Associate Professor of Social Work, California State University, Sacramento, author of Queer Social Work: Cases for LGBTQ+ Affirmative Practice.
