The manual details the main methods of cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy and their application in the correction of maladaptive strategies of human behavior and thinking. One of the undoubted advantages of the book is the availability of its language, conciseness of writing and the consistent logic of the presentation of the material. Structuring the book material helps to structure the psychotherapy process itself to avoid unnecessary time-consuming counseling appointments. The material of live clinical examples shows how to attract a client - by building a trusting relationship between him and the therapist - to deliberately build new, more adaptive ways of behavior. All this makes this guide an indispensable assistant for practitioners.
