The widely acclaimed "father of cognitive psychotherapy" adds a
new introduction to the gold-standard book on anxiety disorders and
phobias At the forefront of the cognitive revolution, renowned
psychiatrist Aaron T Beck turned to information processing in order
to understand the sources, consequences and cures of anxiety
disorders and phobias. In the first half of this classic text, Beck
elaborates on the clinical picture of anxiety disorders and phobias
and presents an explanatory model to account for the rich
complexity of these phenomena. Cognitive psychologist Gary Emery
then details the therapeutic principles, strategies and tactics
developed on the basis of the cognitive model of anxiety disorders
and phobias. This fifteenth anniversary edition of the foundational
work on cognitive therapy features a new introduction by Beck, in
which he offers an up-to-date appraisal of the current state of
cognitive therapy and its application to the treatment of phobias
and anxiety.
