We've been waiting quite some time for the ‘right' book on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to come along, and we're pleased to say that the wait is over. From the basic premise of CBT - that what you think decides how you feel - you will learn its methods in helping with emotional problems such as anxiety and depression, and strengthening self-esteem, resilience and assertiveness. Then, in its practice in everyday life, CBT will also help you to avoid becoming stuck in your thought and behaviour patterns. Teach Yourself Cognitive Behavioural Therapy will benefit at any level: for simple personal use, for those undergoing professional therapy, for trainee counsellors and established therapists alike. Christine Wilding and Aileen Milne offer so much valuable content, with great guidance, explanation and exercises, and all presented in a highly readable style, that we know you'll love it.
