The first Open Access cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) book, which was edited by Iris‐ mar Reis de Oliveira, was published in 2012 by InTechOpen. One of the editors of the present book was among the authors of that book. Besides being a very important reference, especially for underdeveloped countries, it played an important role in spreading "trialbased thought record" that is now widely known.

Although CBT practices are developed and new models are suggested, basic models of CBT are still widely used. It can be suggested that the new models and treatment approaches are variations of the basic model of Aaron T. Beck and that these developments indicate the strong theoretical basis of the basic model. All these innovations and developments are very valuable in terms of creating new treatment opportunities for our patients.

The main purpose of this book is to be useful in daily practice to clinicians, including lessdiscussed subjects that are frequently encountered in practice. For this, it was aimed to ex‐ plain the formulation of the disorder in light of the basic CBT model in each chapter and then to present the treatment approach of the disorder with case examples. We believe that the case examples, which came from the authors' own practices, are the strength of the book.

In Chapter 1, E. Sevinç Sevi Tok reviews CBT principles in children for anxiety disorders and major depressive disorder. In Chapter 2, Irem Damla Çimen comprehensively reviews CBT for obsessive compulsive disorder in children and adolescents. In Chapter 3, Hunger-Schoppe Christina illustrates CBT for social anxiety disorder (SAD) by adding the social sys‐ tem model to CBT. In Chapter 4, Kentaro Shirotsuki delineates the video feedback techniques for SAD that is one of the key techniques for the disorder in a way to help read‐ ers to implement it effectively, and similarly, in Chapter 5, Katia Levrier, André Marchand, Valérie Billette, Stéphane Guay, and Geneviève Belleville delineate the imagery rehearsal therapy combined with CBT in posttraumatic nightmares for posttraumatic stress disorder. In Chapter 6, Dagna Skrzypińska and Barbara Szmigielska present dreams in CBT, which is a controversial topic, in detail. In Chapter 7, Caroline Dugal, Gaëlle Bakhos, Claude Bélang‐ er, and Natacha Godbout clearly summarize CBT for couples. In Chapter 8, Alessandro Mu‐ setti, Roberto Cattivelli, Anna Guerrini, Anna Maria Mirto, Francesco Vailati Riboni, Giorgia Varallo, Gianluca Castelnuovo, and Enrico Molinari draw attention to CBT for obesity that is an important component of multidisciplinary treatment. In Chapter 9, Steliana Rizeanu re‐ views CBT for gambling disorder, and in Chapter 10, Malakeh Zuhdi Malak reviews Inter‐ net addiction and CBT. David Gratzer, Faiza Khalid-Khan, and Shawnna Balasingham (Chapter 11) and Derek Richards, Angel Enrique, Jorge Palacios, and Daniel Duffy (Chapter 12) review Internet-based CBT (ICBT). The last two chapters have both the information on ICBT from the worldwide literature and their own valuable case examples.
