Publisher's Summary

Why is it so hard to lose weight, stop smoking, or establish healthy habits? Why do couples argue about the same issues over and over? Why do so many people lie awake at night, stricken with worry and anxiety? Why is it so difficult to come to terms with a loved one's death, even if it's after a long illness?

The answers to these questions - and the path to lasting change in your life - lie in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a well-tested collection of practical techniques for managing moods and modifying undesirable behaviors through self-awareness, critical analysis, and goal-oriented change. CBT illuminates the links between thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and physical health and uses those connections to develop concrete plans for self-improvement. Built on a solid foundation of neurological and behavioral research, CBT is an approach almost anyone can use for promoting greater mental health and improving quality of life.

In 24 engaging half-hour lectures, you'll build a robust and effective self-improvement toolkit with the expert guidance of Professor Satterfield of the University of California, San Francisco. You will explore CBT's roots in Socratic and stoic philosophy, build a toolkit of CBT techniques, and hear about the latest research about its outcomes. Additionally this intriguing and practical course allows you to take on the role of medical student, physician, psychologist, and patient.

Throughout the course you'll explore issues that cause people to seek out therapy. In some cases you'll get to hear Dr. Satterfield working with a patient, and in others you'll be delving into research to find what causes issues and how CBT helps to resolve them.

Everyone has something about their life that they would like to improve. With the tools in CBT and the desire to make your situation better, you can create lasting change in your life.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

aimed at understanding and addressing problems

This book is more focused on understanding and addressing problems. It has case studies and example action plans to overcome problems. I was hoping for something to enhance performance of a relatively stable individual. And as such i was disappointed. It's not a bad book, just not what I wanted.

Fascinating study of modern Psychology

A very well structured study of the history and current modern approaches to Psychology. Narrated by an expert in the field but delivered in a way that is easy to follow.

Don’t get this book if you are mentally healthy

It’s a good book overall, at least for people who suffer from mental illness.
However if you are a healthy normal person, just don’t get this book, unless you are worried that you have to deal with mental illness in the future.

Well delivered

Thorough and enjoyable delivery. I wish I could absorb it better but there is a limit for how much I can retain through audio format. Short doing training or working with a cbt therapist I thought this was good.

Would recommend

Sound discussion of current best practice research and application of CBT tools. Case studies were diverse and it was great to hear patient responses following the CBT treatments. d's

Tough to follow

has some good content but it is very hard to follow, which makes it difficult to listen to if you are doing anything else at the time. This needs to be the only thing you are paying attention to in order to follow it.

Evidence-Based, Actionable and Well-Delivered information.

While this ‘book’ was quite lengthy for the information presented, it was full of actionable, strong information to do with CBT. Even those with a background in Psychology or knowledge of CBT skills should learn something useful. The presenter was well-spoken and appeared to be very knowledgeable in the area.

I will re-listen to this ‘book’ plenty in the future, I’m sure, and would recommend it to others.
