Customer Reviews

A surprising gen

I've purchased Dummies books for years and appreciated their simplicity and clarity. I never expected a psychology book to be so well done as this book, in a Dummies series. This book is clear, precise, and easy to understand & use.It is helpful for professionals and neophytes. I am both, having a degree in psych but never having used Cognitive Therapy. I highly recommend this book and its companion theory book.

Cognitive Behavioral

This job does a great job of explaining what exactly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is. It states it in very simple words and continues to do so throughout the book. Many homework sheets that would better if they gave you more room to write, but you can always do that on a separate sheet of paper.

Great book!

In my ongoing effort to live life to the fullest, I read many books like this. It was easy to understand, put things in perspective very nicely, and I feel was beneficial. Self improvement is always important at any age.

good resource for professionals and laypersons

I appreciate the "put the cookies on the low shelf" approach of the Dummies guides, and this is no exception. I was trained in a much more Rogerian philosophy and over several years of practice, i have been drawn to the CBT methods more and more. This book is helpful in that transition.

Cognitive Behavioural Workbook For Dummies

Great book- lots of good examples and worksheets to use. Text is easy-to-read and information included is relevant. Could have been improved by including more worksheets on specific problems, e.g. anger management (expanding coverage) and by having larger-sized A4 worksheets, not small versions in table form as there is limited space to write (better resources).
