Gillian Butler - Overcoming
Social Anxiety
|
|
Announcing...one
of the First Four Titles in the
Overcoming Series. The immensely
popular international market leader of
self-help titles. Step-by-step guides to
self-improvement that introduce the methods
of the highly regarded cognitive behavioral
therapy technique to help readers conquer a
broad range of disabling conditions--from
worry to body image problems to obsessive
compulsive disorder and more.
The accessible,
straightforward, and practical books in the
Overcoming series treat disorders by
changing unhelpful patterns of behavior and
thought. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
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 insists 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.
