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

Although the end goal of cognitive therapy is for the client to become their own therapist, you aren't gonna do that by reading this book. If you're looking for a self-help book you aren't in the right place. This is book is Aaron Beck applying his cognitive theoretical framework to emotional disorders and disseminating the research he has completed. I'm currently a masters of counseling student trying to figure out which theoretical framework fits best with my worldview. In this book, Beck does a fabulous job explaining the application of his cognitive theory to the "emotional disorders." It had been very helpful in my search.

THIS IS NOT A SELF-HELP BOOK

Absolutely the finest caliber of academic writing on CBT. Therapists would do well to read this book a couple of times in a row.

This choice of voice performer ruined the book, i couldn’t get passed 1 hour, he’s a 2 note announcer just like a news anchor from the 80’s

The poorest voice performance i ever heard
