About this title

About the Authors

Dr Daniel Freeman is the leading clinical psychologist of his generation. Still only in his mid-thirties, he is a Wellcome Trust Fellow, a Senior Lecturer at the Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College London, and a consultant clinical psychologist in the South London and Maudsley NHS Trust.

He publishes prolifically in leading international journals, makes regular keynote addresses at international conferences and is an Associate Editor of the British Journal of Clinical Psychology. A key figure in the latest developments in cognitive behaviour therapy, he teaches and supervises clinicians across the globe.

His work has brought interviews with the likes of Radio 4 and the BBC World Service, and with national newspapers such as The Times, Guardian, and Daily Mail. He is young enough to continue playing five-a-side football twice a week, but old enough to wonder for how much longer.

Jason Freeman is a freelance writer and editor. Educated at Cambridge and Sussex universities, he spent ten years working in academic publishing before getting the technology bug and embarking on a new career as a designer and writer in the software industry. The technology bug having worn off, he has returned to the world of books, writing and editing titles in the areas of popular psychology and self-help, film and children’s fiction.

He lives in Sheffield with his wife and three children. When not in front of his laptop, his time is mainly spent running round after the kids. When not running round after the kids, he enjoys the cinema, walking in the Peaks and wondering where to begin with the garden.
