Introduction & Theoretical Background

Cognitive behavioral therapy can help your clients to live happier and more fulfilling lives. Psychology Tools for Living Well is a self-help course that teaches the principles and practice of cognitive behavioral therapy. Readers are guided through chapters which introduce:
  • the basic principles of CBT,
  • the role of emotions,
  • how thoughts and behaviors affect our mood,
  • and how these components come together in ways that can leave us feeling stuck.
During each section clients are guided through practical exercises to consolidate what they have learned, and to hone their skills in practicing CBT techniques. This course is equally suitable as a self-help guide, or as an adjunct to face-to-face work for clients in therapy.
