[Markéta Čihařová]

I have been working in psychotherapy research for a while now and cognitive therapy is one of the core topics of it. Yet, I could not appreciate more such a clear, concise description of cognitive techniques, together with well-fitting examples, which allowed me to gain even a better, practical picture of these methods. A perfect book for any psychotherapist-to-be, just deciding about their school of thought, researcher, anyone who works with clients of psychotherapy, or for potential clients who are deciding whether to undergo therapy or which type to choose.

Great lil book

Good summary

Interesting if you're into therapy. I'm not a huge fan of CBT in general but it made more sense than I'd assumed. Silly me. I believe it will be useful for me.
