Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a very popular, shorter-term approach to counseling and psychotherapy. While thousands of mental health professionals practice CBT, many are not as skilled as they would like to be in terms of recognizing irrational thoughts. They often have even more difficulty helping their clients develop new rational replacement thoughts that their clients are willing to accept.

This seminar shows attendees how to identify and correct the 40 common irrational beliefs that create such disturbances as depression, anxiety, anger, guilt, eating disorders, personality disorders and substance abuse disorders. It shows attendees how to develop ideal replacement thoughts, as well as "less ideal" thoughts that clients are more willing to accept. This seminar also teaches attendees how to help their clients be willing to at least consider adopting the new thoughts developed. This seminar is helpful to all mental health professionals, especially those who have attended Aldo Pucci's, "Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy: The Basics of Helping People to Get Better" seminar.
