Cognitive Behaviour Therapy

An intuitive and expert guide to some of the most effective techniques in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy

In the newly revised fourth edition of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy: Your Route Out of Perfectionism, Self-Sabotage and Other Everyday Habits with CBT/REBT, accredited therapist Avy Joseph delivers an up-to-date exploration of proven cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) philosophy and techniques that work to improve your own life and the lives of others. Joseph explains how to challenge irrational, negative thoughts and unhealthy beliefs about yourself and your life. You'll learn to improve your outlook, mindset, and mood at home and at work.

This latest edition of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy offers updated scenarios and exercises you can start using immediately, as well as:

• Discussions of the theory of the Multiplicity of Origins, a model explaining the development of unhealthy beliefs.
• Understanding that we have a biological predisposition to irrationality when something negative happens, and how to use our free will to direct our mind to rationality and act constructively to achieve our goals.
• Step-by-step strategies to change our unhealthy beliefs and unhelpful behaviours that sabotage our goals in the real world, including methods for understanding the solution intellectually and transforming it into emotional understanding.

A powerful and hands-on resource for everyone facing significant personal and professional challenges, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy is a collection of evidence-based personal improvement techniques that also belongs in the libraries of CBT practitioners and therapists.
