Cognitive Behaviour Therapy: Your Route Out of Perfectionism, Self-Sabotage and Other Everyday Habits with CBT

Uncover the secrets of CBT and apply them to your own life

In the newly revised Third Edition of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, veteran cognitive behaviour therapist and counsellor Avy Joseph delivers an essential and accessible discussion of how to use the time-tested and proven techniques in cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) to improve your own life and the lives of others. You’ll learn to challenge negative thoughts and unhealthy beliefs about yourself and begin improving your outlook on your personal and professional life.

In the book, you’ll find updated scenarios and exercises for the practice of CBT techniques, discussions of how to maintain your mental health in a post-pandemic world and the difference between “Action Tendencies” and behaviours. You’ll also get:

• Insightful discussions about recent advances in Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) and how it fits with CBT
• Practical strategies for creating a more realistic perception of the events in your life, along with specific techniques – like understanding the difference between malicious and non-malicious envy
• Tips for developing emotional responsibility in practice

A can’t-miss resource for anyone interested in using CBT to solve their most intractable personal and professional problems, as well as those looking for evidence-based personal improvement techniques, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy will also earn a place in the libraries of CBT practitioners and therapists seeking a hands-on and accessible treatment of the discipline’s most essential subjects.
