Cognitive Therapy and the Emotional Disorders

This is the definitive book on cognitive therapy by the person the doctor that the develop that the cognitive theory of behavior in the 50s. Period I believe it will be sufficient in difficulty and information to assess me in my nursing psychiatric practice. Easy to read and comprehend.

Straight forward, to the point, no mystical psycho babble. Theory and Practical Application are central in this book. This book can be applied to just about every aspect of life, living from a healthy and centered frame of reference/awareness.

Had to read this for class but I thought it was actually intriguing and a nice read. Very informative. I recommend familiarizing yourself with psychoanalysis, behaviorism, and humanistic theories before reading this for a fuller understanding. This book However does a great job summarizing other psychotherapies

I enjoyed reading the book. It is engaging, easy to read and has substance.

Wonderful and very informative book. I'm glad I purchased it. It helped me to understand CBT. This method of therapy is explained in a way that someone not in the medical field can understand. I purchased the book "used" through Amazon at a reasonable price. Thank you, Amazon!

Purchased this book to write my thesis and it is excellent. The book is well-written, by the developer of Cognitive Therapy, now Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and is easy to read. Has a lot of foundational principles and has been updated since the first edition.

A great book for anyone who has any emotional disorder, or knows someone who does, or who simply finds the subject interesting. The author is a groundbreaking psychotherapist, who compares his premises and beliefs with those of previous schools of therapy. Profound and credible.

Great and informative book for my nephew

Item is perfect, it arrived on time. Great book, using it for my studies.

Haven’t finished reading but really helpful information so far.

Wonderful

For a physician, like me, not well versed on psychotherapy, this book is an excellent introduction. I am exploring a new world, and that it has been fantastic!

The book is a good overview of that cognitive therapy is about, but there is too much focus on comparing it to psychoanalysis and behavioral therapy. Also too theoretcial and too scarce in terms of strategies and techniques of relieving emotional distress, which I was expecting. For a professional, it is still worth a read, if not else, to be able to make a more informed decision on whcih type of therapy would be most beneficial for them in terms of deepening their knowledge, on the other hand, not really a good "self-help" book, which I was hoping for. Might be entirely my mistake for picking this one, but I wanted to get a book that was written by the author of the field.
