This indispensable book has given many tens of thousands of
practitioners a wealth of evidence-based tools for maximizing the power
of cognitive therapy and tailoring it to individual clients. Leading
authority Robert L. Leahy describes ways to help clients identify and
modify problematic thoughts, core beliefs, and patterns of worry,
self-criticism, and approval-seeking; evaluate personal schemas; cope
with painful emotions; and take action to achieve their goals. Each
technique includes vivid case examples and sample dialogues. Featuring
123 reproducible forms, the book has a large-size format for easy
photocopying; purchasers also get access to a Web page where they can
download and print the reproducible materials.
