Beck's Cognitive Therapy by Frank Wills

Beck's Cognitive Therapy by Frank Wills

Explores the key contributions made by Aaron T Beck to the development of cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT). This book considers the theory and practice of Beck's cognitive therapy by examining his contribution to the understanding of psychopathology, and going on to explore his suggestions about the best methods of treatment.

"This is a great easy read of Beck's personal history through his substantial contribution to cognitive therapy as we know it today.. A major impact of this book will be for those who believe CBT is too scripted, too directive and too 'one size fits all' as the author impresses on us the need for individualised perceptive use of methods for each specific client and disorder." - Norman Beecher, Addiction Today, July-August 2010

"Frank Wills provides a practical synopsis that is basic enough for the novice but detailed enough to provide an excellent review for the more seasoned clinician...A succinct accounting of Beck's distinct contributions to the field of psychotherapy against a background of his career." -Barbara Cubic, Ph.D, in PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 54, Release 41.

Frank Wills is an independent cognitive psychotherapist, supervisor, and trainer in Bristol, and a tutor at the University of Wales, Newport.
