    Abstract

    Many of the tools we use in sport psychology are derived from cognitive behavioural therapies (CBTs). However, there are limited case studies in the literature detailing precisely how CBTs are used with athletes. Many of the dominant theories in sport psychology, even the overly abstracted ones, have clear links to CBTs even if CBT literature is not referenced. This book brings together a collection of case studies detailing how practitioners use different CBTs with athletes. In this first chapter, the authors introduce the rationale and aims of the book “Applying Cognitive Behavioural Therapeutic Approaches in Sport”. The CBTs at the centre of the book are revealed, and some rationale is provided for why a book like this is currently needed in the field. The authors also offer some commentary of psychological skills training as it pertains to the philosophy and mechanics of cognitive-behavioural approaches to sport psychology.
