Book Description: This eminently practical guide is designed for trainee and practising counsellors and other professional helpers. Essentially, the cognitive approach sees the negative and unrealistic ways in which people think about themselves and their worlds as the root of their emotional and behavioural difficulties. Cognitive behavioural counselling offers a powerful method for helping clients to change their thinking and behaviour so as to overcome their difficulties. Using carefully chosen illustrations and examples, the authors trace the steps appropriate at different stages in the counselling process, constantly relating practice to theory. They show how the counsellor can help the client to change, and to learn to take over the whole method of change, in order to cope independently. The step by step guide is backed up by easily accessible resource material, particularly on the two most important aspects of cognitive behavioural counselling: methods of intervention and the setting of homework. Finally, guidance is offered on its application to specific emotional problems: anxiety, depression, anger//aggression, shame and guilt. Drawing upon their own extensive experience, the authors give encouragement and direction to would be cognitive behavioural counsellors, just as those counsellors will in their turn give encouragement and direction to their clients.
