Leahy describes state-of-the-art ways to help clients identify and modify problematic thoughts, core beliefs, and patterns of worry, self-criticism, and approval-seeking; evaluate personal schemas; cope with painful emotions; and take action to achieve their goals. Each technique includes vivid case examples and sample dialogues. Featuring 125 reproducible forms, the print book has a large-size format for easy photocopying; purchasers also get access to a Web page where they can download and print the reproducible materials.
