About this title

Review:

The best possible compendium on Cognitive Analytic Therapy, presented clearly and thoughtfully in this latest edition. (Susie Orbach, Psychotherapist 2017-06-06)

Elizabeth McCormick has the unusual ability to transform psychotherapeutic concepts into a language that enables clients to draw on these models for their own use. This book should be recommended to anyone wishing to understand and work through their suffering and to gain greater clarity and emotional resilience. (Jane Ryan 2017-03-28)

This is that rare thing – a wise, compassionate and above all practical book, grounded in years of good psychotherapy practice.  Imbued with the understanding that we are selves in relation to others, it is straightforward without being simplistic.  It delivers what it promises, whether for self-help, a supportive resource in therapy or as a readable introduction to therapeutic change (Glenys Parry, Emeritus Professor 2017-06-07)

Synopsis:

How often do we feel doomed, limited, jinxed or despairing? How often do we wish we were different, but still fail to change? "Change for the Better" is a self-help book for individuals and couples. By the use of self-monitoring through questionnaires, charts and diary-keeping, it shows how to make a systematic analysis of behaviour and identify the traps and dilemmas that restrict development. By using examples and a step-by-step approach, Elizabeth Wilde McCormick helps name the problems and challenge negative and falsely derived assumptions. She aims to give readers courage to confront fear and break free from old patterns of thinking, to regain control and make positive choices about their lives.
