Beschreibung

Many people learn best by following a visual approach - retaining information far more successfully if that information is given to them in a visual manner. Visual CBT uses illustrations, graphics and images to help the reader to alter their thought patterns and change behaviours through CBT to become a happier, healthier individual. Uniquely, it highlights the differences between healthy and unhealthy emotional responses - for example Anxiety instead of Concern - to enable the reader to quickly "picture" how they are reacting, and bring it into line with the healthy type of response. * Includes an explanation of the premise of CBT and how it can relate to everyday life * Uses exercises and practical tips to examine a whole host of healthy vs. unhealthy scenarios - such as depression vs. sadness, anger vs. annoyance, hurt vs. sorrow, shame vs. regret ... and much more * Visual CBT is an easy to use guide that can be referred back to time and time again showing how to successfully implement the most important CBT techniques.

‘Visual CBT – this is a book which explains in a very accessible way how we all disturb ourselves emotionally and what we need to do to change.

I recommend it strongly as a self-help book, and for CBT therapists who may use it as a tool to help their clients too’.

Dr David Baker PhD. MSc. BSc(Hons). DMS. PGClin Sup. C. Psychol., Clinical Director at Kent and Canterbury CBT Services, Chartered Psychologist, Consultant Psychotherapist, Chairman BABCP IPSIG, Chair AREBT

‘A refreshingly clear guide to understanding emotions. The illustrations make the explanations resonate as they bring humour and perspective to what is usually confusing.

The book enables readers not only to understand their thought processes and emotional responses, but also to work towards, and implement, desired changes. A great publication by two very eminent therapeutic professionals.’

Christa Mackinnon, Psychologist, Family Counsellor and Hypnotherapist, visiting fellow at the Peninsula Medical School, University of Exeter, Director of the Kamdaris Psychological Consultancy, Author ofShamanism and Spirituality in Therapeutic Practice

‘These days there are literally thousands of self-help books on the market. Some excellent but many are sadly lacking. Even the Royal College of Psychiatrists is endorsing a series of self-help books in the pursuit of promoting mental health for the nation.

In my practice I commonly “prescribe” a book, but am always looking for a good quality self-help book that maintains the fine balance between thoroughness and accessibility, avoiding boring over-technicality leading to inapplicability. This can be a daunting task due to limited choice.

It is particularly with this in mind that I’m excited with the release of Visual CBT. The illustrations and intuitive usage of GUI (Graphic User Interface)-type presentation style, makes complex cognitively behavioural strategies easily understandable and practical.

Joseph and Chapman, the authors, are two very experienced therapists with a deep understanding of how to “cut to the chase” in today’s high-pressured psychological environment. I can easily recommend this as an adjunct to actual therapy, or as an initial “stand-alone” approach for any person who is looking for the first time or who has had a previous bad experience with overly technical CBT books in the past.’

Dr Claude A. Botha, MBChB. MRCPsych., Clinical Research Fellow and Honorary Consultant Psychiatrist at the Wingate Institute of Neurogastroenterology, at the Blizard Institute Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry, Queen Mary University of London

‘The general tendency is to think of CBT as a “talking therapy”. With this new book, Joseph and Chapman turn that on its head and use the power of imagery to instantly bring the links between thoughts, feelings, action tendencies and behaviours to life. The illustrations cleverly and succinctly capture the often subtle, but immensely critical, difference between unhelpful and adaptive responding.

With an emphasis on emotional responsibility woven throughout, the book adopts a refreshingly non-pathologising perspective to focus upon eight of the most commonly encountered unhealthy emotions.

The authors gently guide readers to develop an awareness of how CBT frameworks can help us to understand the connections that trigger and maintain problematic behaviours – and how we can use that same framework to learn new, and healthier ways of responding. Suggestions are provided to inspire and equip readers to apply this understanding and make positive changes that can improve psychological health. The pithy “takeaway tips” at the end of each chapter aid this process.

Whether bought as a self-help book, read as part of a training course, or used by a therapist with their clients, Visual CBT makes a unique and valuable contribution to how we all strive to “make sense of emotions” and improve psychological well-being.’

Dr Jody Warner-Rogers, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, Head of Psychology Services at Guy’s and St Thomas’s NHS Foundation Trust

‘This concise book is a fun and informative guide, providing a practical overview for those already working in psychological services. It clearly spells out all fundamentals and is a much-needed, accessible handbook for all medical practitioners and physical therapists alike, supporting their patients with psycho-social issues they are presented with in clinical practice on a daily basis.’

Christien Bird MSc., Chartered Physiotherapist and Practice Owner of White Hart Multi-disciplinary Clinic

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy: An Introduction

Why This Book? What Will You Get From It?

We train adults in a variety of cognitive and behavioural therapies. This includes one day workshops as well as longer term courses. We also run a private clinic working with adults on many issues including anxiety disorders, depression, relationship problems, trauma, psychosomatic issues such as irritable bowel syndrome and blushing to name but a few. Both our students and our clients learn how to understand and develop awareness of the different types of emotions we experience and how to change them in a constructive manner in order to make progress and to move on.

Understanding the different types of emotions we may feel, and knowing what is at the heart of these emotions, can be tricky at times, especially when we experience many at the same time.
