Library Journal Review

In this fully revised and updated guide, practicing clinical psychologists -Greenberger and Padesky assist readers in applying the principles of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to depression, anxiety, stress, and other afflictions. A core tenet of CBT is that the perception of an event is what affects a person's emotions, and that by rerouting idea pathways, one may actually feel better. Articulate explanations along with abundant worksheets and exercises guide readers through self-examination and how to correct maladaptive thoughts, providing the opportunity to clarify assumptions and core beliefs and to evaluate new behaviors. -VERDICT Recommended for dedicated readers willing to spend an hour a day working on new skills. © Copyright 2015.
