Publisher's Summary

Is the emotionally disturbed person a victim of forces beyond his awareness, over which he has no control? This is the belief on which neuropsychiatry, psychoanalysis, and behavior therapy are all based. But what if this premise is wrong? What if a person’s psychological difficulties stem from his own erroneous assumptions and faulty concepts of himself and the world? Such a person can be helped to recognize and correct distortions in thinking that cause his emotional disturbance.

Now one of the founders of cognitive therapy has written a clear, comprehensive guide to its theory and practice, highlighting such important concepts as:

  • Learning the meaning of hidden messages
  • Listening to your automatic thoughts
  • The role of sadness, anger, and anxiety
  • Understanding and overcoming phobias and depression
  • Applying the cognitive system of therapy to specific problems

CT through A Beck's own words.

Always wanted to read one of his books. A man who inspired me to not obsessively focus on rationality of a thought but rather it is "functionality" and this immediately lowered the judgmental position to a humanistic side of positive regard and acceptance of the client. Beck himself points at the humanistic stance in this book. This is one of the gems in psychotherapy and if you are a CT or want to be one then this book is for you.
