An excellent introduction to the topic July 19, 2007

In my professional life, much of my time is spent working through a client's peceptions. And where appropriate, this is one of the starting points I suggest for learning about the self-evaluation of thinking, emotions and behaviour.

Beautifully written, engaging, thought-provoking and well worth considering if you're interested in learning more about this approach.

TOP DUMMY BOOK May 4, 2007
29 out of 49 found this review helpful

First a disclaimer. I'm a fan of the For Dummies series. I know, you already formed a mental picture of me. I'm lower middle class, a little slow on the uptick, mildly ambitious, without a superior education. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. And, wrong.

I must say I find the title a misnomer. Many books in this series actually skew toward the enlightened if undereducated, and read as such. And talk about practical! If you can bear the humiliation of waiting on line holding a tome under one arm that is likely to brand you a Dummy for all of the bookstore to see, then indulge. (or order online.)

For a hilarious send up of the entire series, a hold-your-ribs kind of funny, check out Martha Bolton's "Maybe Life's Just Not That Into You." It has a couple chapters skewering the Dummies series that are dead on.

As for this particular book, for those desiring a practical, hands on, easily discernible approach to Cognitive Behaviour, you won't come close to matching this. This should be a standard textbook in universities.

Worth More Than A Barrowload of Other Self-Help Books November 25, 2006
42 out of 44 found this review helpful

The CBT approach seems to be based on what works rather than what fits some preconceived model. The emphasis is on helping yourself and effecting change in faulty thinking patterns. As attitudes become less rigid it makes possible the altering of behaviour in the real world. The book is divided up into various sections, of which some will be more relevant to each readers specific needs.

A must for anyone who has an interest in Cognitive behavioural therapy... The pages are well laid out, and very easy to read... This book gives real understanding to this subject, it gives useful information and ideas in a very easy to understand way...
