Product Description
Product Description
The Overcoming Series offers step-by-step guides to self-improvement based on the methods of cognitive behavioral therapy. The series aims to help readers conquer a broad range of disabling conditions-from worry to body image problems to obsessive compulsive disorder and more. Cognitive behavioral therapy was developed by psychiatrist Aaron T. Beck and is now internationally favored as a practical means of overcoming longstanding and disabling conditions, both psychological and physical. CBT is based on the idea that our thoughts cause our feelings and behaviors. Even when our situation does not change, if we change the self-defeating ways we think, we can make ourselves feel better. This positive, pragmatic approach is popular with therapists and patients alike. The accessible, straightforward, and practical books in this series outline affordable and easy-to-follow treatment plans, and have provided tens of thousands of readers with the help they need to overcome self-defeating behavior and lead happier lives. Books in the Overcoming Series: * Highlight the history and background of the disorder, who is likely to be affected, and what the main symptoms are * Provide a structure ideal for personal use or in a program using guided step-by-step self-help techniques like recordkeeping and problem-solving * Include diagnostic questionnaires, case studies, and workbook-style interactive exercises * Offer authoritative, commonsense solutions to pervasive, difficult emotional problems

Format:Paperback
Excellent book. User friendly and easy to follow. Helps to frame suspicious/ paranoid thoughts as the "understandable" consequence of a number of factors that come together. Really useful guide for those experiencing such distressing thoughts and for also for professionals working in this area. Another 1st class book from the "Overcoming" series.

There is not much out there for sufferers or carers. This book fills a big gap. It is easy to read and focuses on self help and understanding. It is not judgemental and backs up statements made by pointing examples and to research. My experience is that it has helped to soften damaging thought processes that have become hardened with time and use. I hope that it will provide some of the tools to sustain a hard won recovery.

I like this book it makes you sit back and realise that you are not on your own, that there are other people out there that feel the same way as you.
It goes through why you are having paranoid thoughts and the reasons you do actually sit and think about it.
This book for me was an eye opener the excersies through out this book are great I go through them nearly everyday and it really helps, since reading this book i have become alot calmer. Still along way to go but I think this book is great.
