How helpful are treatment manuals to practicing psychotherapists? A survey of 47 cognitive-behavioral therapists explored their overall responses to manuals (e.g., number read, favorite manuals) and their descriptions of the ideal manual (ratings of 20 features). Findings indicated a very positive view of manuals, extensive use, and few concerns. Ratings of the ideal manual emphasized practical advice, the notion that more is better, and endorsement of some features that are typically not included (e.g., illustrations). implications for practice are discussed, including ways that therapists can make the best use of manuals and awareness of limitations of manuals for mastering a treatment.
