5.0 out of 5 stars lucid and convincing, 11 Nov 2004

conjunction - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Cognitive Therapy and the Emotional Disorders (Penguin Psychology) (Paperback)

This is a persuasive and well-written case for the efficacy of cognitive therapy. At times it seems pedantic in its spelling out of endless examples, but at least this has the advantage that Beck never takes our understanding of his points for granted, and is suggestive that his conclusions are thoroughly thought out. The section on techniques of cognitive therapy is particularly telling and he ends with a useful comparison of cognitive and other types of therapy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Text on Cognitive Therapy, 5 Jan 2011

Donald Robertson "LondonCognitive.com" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Cognitive Therapy and the Emotional Disorders (Penguin Psychology) (Paperback)

This is the classic text providing an overview of early Beckian cognitive therapy. It's a very old book now (or I'd give it five stars). You'd be much better to look at Beck's more recent books for a current account of cognitive therapy.

Cognitive Therapy of Anxiety Disorders
Depression: Causes and Treatment

Cognitive Therapy and the Emotional Disorders is still a very interesting account of how cognitive therapy developed in relation to other approaches, particularly behaviour therapy. The chapters include,

1. Common Sense and Beyond
2. Tapping the Internal Communications
3. Meaning and Emotions
4. Cognitive Content of the Emotional Disorders
5. The Paradoxes of Depression
6. The Alarm is Worse than the Fire: Anxiety Neurosis
7. Afraid but not Afraid: Phobias and Obsessions
8. Mind over Body: Psychosomatic Disorders and Hysteria
9. Principles of Cognitive Therapy
10. Techniques of Cognitive Therapy
11. The Cognitive Therapy of Depression
12. The Status of Cognitive Therapy

Donald Robertson, author of,
The Philosophy of Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Stoic Philosophy as Rational and Cognitive Psychotherapy
The Discovery of Hypnosis: The Complete Writings of James Braid the Father of Hypnotherapy
The Practice of Cognitive-Behavioural Hypnotherapy
