Product description

Review

The best possible compendium on Cognitive Analytic Therapy, presented clearly and thoughtfully in this latest edition. -- Susie Orbach, Psychotherapist Published On: 2017-06-06

Elizabeth McCormick has the unusual ability to transform psychotherapeutic concepts into a language that enables clients to draw on these models for their own use. This book should be recommended to anyone wishing to understand and work through their suffering and to gain greater clarity and emotional resilience. -- Jane Ryan Published On: 2017-03-28

This is that rare thing – a wise, compassionate and above all practical book, grounded in years of good psychotherapy practice. Imbued with the understanding that we are selves in relation to others, it is straightforward without being simplistic. It delivers what it promises, whether for self-help, a supportive resource in therapy or as a readable introduction to therapeutic change -- Glenys Parry, Emeritus Professor Published On: 2017-06-07

It’s tough to combine a wise, compassionate and practical book in one – but this succeeds well -- Julia Bueno

Review of The Pale Green Room

Subtle, psychologically insightful and intriguing. Convincing characters in modern London with their masks. Story unfolds like a quiet detective novel. A page-turner. Would make a great movie.

I got told to order this book by my therapist and I was very shocked at the price but I thought I will give if ago and its came damaged. I can't send it back because I don't have a printer. When paying that amount of money you don't want to receive a damaged item.

5.0 out of 5 stars I devoured the first edition of Change for the Better years ago
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 November 2017
Verified Purchase
I devoured the first edition of Change for the Better years ago, looking for and finding answers to dilemmas in my personal life. It is a delight to revisit the updated version, and read the advice, strategies for change and insightful human stories with a fresh eye. Elizabeth McCormick has a wonderful combination of open heartedness and practical common sense and it comes across in equal measure through the life lessons she covers. Truly a book for everyman and everywoman, since the emotional predicaments she so eloquently portrays and disentangles are woven into the human condition.
Ideal for those embarking on therapy for the first time and for practitioners, but also for those who just wish to understand themselves and their relationships in a way that leads to a more fulfilling life. I heartily recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Self help book but also useful to CAT therapy trainees
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 January 2018
Verified Purchase
Useful for me as training in CAT. Some quite practical suggestions in here. I got it to supplement my other CAT textbook by Ryle. Especially good for practical things to do in the recognition and revision stage.
Doesn't tell you how to write a goodbye letter etc, more like a self help book using CAT as a framework.

3.0 out of 5 stars Over promises and underachieves.

Starts very well but gradually loses momentum. Not entirely unhelpful, though it is a little disappointing. It does, however, contain many gems of wisdom like the Kindness poem.
