About this book

Like any decision that we make in life, making the choice to seek therapy involves mastering a large body of knowledge, sifting through the thousands of therapists in the field and finding the right one, understanding different psychological approaches to counseling and what might work best for any one person, learning a variety of skills on how to be in therapy, and exploring one's most inner self with a complete stranger. Most people are unfortunately stuck navigating this difficult process on their own, leaving a lot of things up to chance. This work acknowledges these difficulties and offers readers the tools needed to choose the right therapist, set their goals for therapy, and understand the benefits and outcomes available to them through the various approaches therapists take. When entering therapy, individuals may not be armed with the information they need in order to make progress and see results. Many stop therapy if they do not feel they are getting anything out of it; others stop if they feel they are being treated differently by others who know they are in therapy. In this book the author clearly defines various psychological approaches therapists take, the different types of therapies available including long terms versus short term and group versus individual therapy, and ways of overcoming stigma associated with being in counseling. She discusses various psychotherapeutic medications and other questions patients might have about the ways they might address the issues they experience. Helping readers to define goals, understand treatment options, and prepare to do the work of therapy, teh author offers a clear roadmap to those new to treatment, to those returning to treatment, and to those helping others to seek treatment. -- From book jacket.

Cognitive therapy

Judith S. Beck

Providing readers with a solid foundation for practice, Cognitive Therapy: Basics and Beyond delineates the fundamental building blocks of cognitive conceptualization and treatment. Introductory chapters describe how to conceptualize clients according to the cognitive model, plan and conduct the first session, identify initial problems and goals, and structure therapy within and across sessions. Then, the basic steps for conducting cognitive therapy are presented, with specific instruction on how to identify, evaluate, and respond to a client's automatic thoughts. Effective strategies for modifying underlying assumptions and core beliefs are also explicated. Methods for increasing homework compliance, preparing for termination, and preventing relapse are laid out. Even experienced cognitive therapists will find new strategies and insights in chapters on planning treatment, diagnosing problems, using imagery, and bringing about behavioral change. In addition to numerous practical suggestions, this volume features a variety of sample patient worksheets and appendices that detail resource materials and reading lists for both the practitioner and the client. A final chapter offers guidance in progressing as a cognitive therapist.

US Navy SEALs

text andphotographs by Robert Genat

The SEAL commandos of the US Navy Special Warfare Command rate high among the world's most superbly trained, motivated and equipped special forces. They strike by stealth, from the sea, and return to its silent cover when their job is done. They can be inserted by fast patrol craft, inflatable boat, submarine, scuba, helicopter or parachute; they are masters of stealthy reconnaissance, sabotage, rescue, and many other special forces missions; in the Gulf War they even roamed deep behind enemy lines in heavily-armed desert buggies. This full-color photo book describes and illustrates the SEALs' uniquely punishing selection training, their tactical organization, uniforms, insignia, personal equipment, weapons and special transport, in striking images supported by detailed text and captions. - Back cover.
