Cognitive Therapy and the Emotional Disorders

Excellent Customer Service Skills. Very satisfied with the product and the price! Shipping was a breeze! Purchased for some enlightment into different theraputic measures and expectations far exceeded our belief's! Great for the therapist inside you! God Bless :))

From the originator of the practice, this is an easy book to understand, and had some very helpful tools in it, especially if you are already proactive with therapy.

We found this book to be very helpful when working with our adopted Son with emotional and mental health issues. It helped us to see things in a better light and to understand why he does some of the things he does.

Dr Beck's book is particularly comprehensive and advances a strong argument for the establishment of Cognitive Therapy - it is, of course, accepted now as a valuable tool in the fight against the various anxiety/emotional disorders.The book itself is directed towards the academic or professional reader and, although it is useful for the interested lay reader, I found the book to have excessive "psychobabble". On numerous occasions I found myself saying that a much simpler language would have sufficed. Furthermore there is a hint of patronisation running through the text - again indicating that the book is not really for lay readers.Notwithstanding, the book is more than 20 years old yet is still a landmark in its field. Recommended for the student but only for the (already) well-informed lay reader.
