Terry Brumley Northcut is assistant professor at Loyola University School of Social Work in Chicago. She received her M.S.S.W. at the University of Tennessee and her Ph.D. in clinical social work at Smith College School for Social Work. Nina Rovinelli Heller received her Ph.D. from Smith College School for Social Work where she also taught for many years in the Summer Graduate Program. She is currently assistant professor at the University of Connecticut School of Social Work and serves as the book review editor for the Clinical Social Work Journal.
Northcut and Heller's closely reasoned presentation of the integration of cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic approaches is must reading. It focuses on specific areas in which this integration can advance clinical results.

Enhancing Psychodynamic Therapy with Cognitive-Behavioral Techniques is a most impressive contribution to the treatment literature, one that advanced graduate students as well as experienced clinical professionals will find useful. Though the task of meaningfully integrating psychoanalytic and cognitive-behavioral ideas is a daunting one, Drs. Northcut and Heller's approach is both scholarly and planful. Chapters are devoted to the explication of significant theoretical issues as well as to a variety of treatment applications that include different age groups, clinical issues, and treatment methods. A well-written and eminently practical guide to the integration of two important bodies of clinical knowledge.
