CBT is a proven and effective approach to mastering your thoughts, and here the authors of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy For Dummies show you step-by-step how to put the lessons of their book into practice. Inside you'll find a huge number of hands-on exercises and techniques to help you remove roadblocks to change - whether you're seeking to overcome anxiety and depression, boost self-esteem, lose weight, beat addiction or simply improve your outlook in your professional and personal life - and regain control over your life. Rhena Branch and Rob Willson are CBT therapists at the Priory Clinic in London, and the authors of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy For Dummies.
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.

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.

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).
