Cognitive Behaviour Therapy: An A-Z of Persuasive Arguments

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy: An A-Z of Persuasive Arguments

Windy Dryden
4.5/5 ( ratings)
Helping clients to develop alternative and more constructive viewpoints to tackle their problems lies at the heart of cognitive behavior therapy . This development is facilitated by the quality of the arguments - not to be confused with arguing - that therapists present to their clients. However, it is easy for therapists to "run out" of arguments after they have asked standard questions such as "Where's the evidence?" and "What are the advantages and disadvantages of this thought?" The authors suggest that the skill of a cognitive behavioral therapist is, in part, measured by the ability to offer rational or balanced responses to clients' self-defeating thoughts and beliefs.

The purpose of this book is to provide therapists with ideas and arguments they can present and build on in their discussions with clients. This book will appeal not only to cognitive behavioral practitioners, novice and experienced alike, but also to every therapist who wants to improve their current repertoire of rational arguments to promote client change.
