The Philosophy of Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) by Donald Robertson

This exciting new edition demonstrates how techniques and concepts from Socratic philosophy, especially Stoicism, can be integrated into the practice of CBT and other forms of psychotherapy, covering the growth in third wave CBT, including mindfulness and acceptance-based therapies.

Praise for the First Edition:

"Robertson rightly reminds us of how much CBT owes its philosophical origins to the Stoics but, sadly, how often this debt is insufficiently acknowledgedHe urges us to redirect our attention to the past to see how modern CBT still has much to learn from its ancient precursors. Highly recommended." Michael Neenan, Co-Director of the CBT Programme, Centre for Stress Management, Bromley, Kent, UK

"Many of us have felt the need for a book that covers the underlying philosophy of the cognitive-behavioural therapies in much greater depth. This book is a fascinating read and could be considered as either a prequel or a sequel to the standard textbook read by a trainee or experienced cognitive-behavioural or rational emotive practitioner who wants to understand these approaches to therapy within an historical framework." Professor Stephen Palmer, PhD, FARBT, FBACP, Director of the Centre for Stress Management, London, UK

"The author has uncovered a wealth of connections between modern cognitive-behavioural therapies and ancient Stoic philosophy. It should be read by anyone interested in understanding the historical roots of CBT or in learning about how ancient psychotherapeutic methods can add to the modern therapist's toolkit." Tim LeBon, UKCP registered psychotherapist and author of Wise Therapy
