This excellent book is "must" reading for any dedicated psychotherapist and counselor or psychologically sophisticated lay person. Rational Behavior Therapy describes the only comprehensive, short-term, cognitive-behavioral method of psychotherapy and counseling that produces long-term results. How? In two important ways: 1) It lets the professional and the C/P (client or patient) quickly discover and therapeutically deal directly with the C/Ps' unsuspected, yet problem creating mental, emotional and physical behaviors. 2) It describes research proven, therapeutic emotional self-help concepts and techniques that enable C/Ps progress in therapy or counseling at their own pace, which almost always is as fast as possible.
Here is another PLUS of this book: It's the first self-help based therapeutic manual that integrates in psychotherapy and counseling what is well proven about the right and left brain neuro-psychology of emotionally satisfying self-management. BUT, this book is not just theory. It is a step by step, case example guide to the immediate, clinical practice of Cognitive-Behavioral psychotherapy and counseling.
