“This book, so valuable from both theoretical and from a practical point of view, will bring great benefits to both beginners and experienced specialists. ... impressive book.

“The authors of this book have succeeded in adding a very important cognitive measurement to our understanding of anxiety disorders. ... highly recommended for reading.
Nancy S. Andreaason, American Journal of Psychiatry
Creator of cognitive psychotherapy and two of his colleagues show how the basic concepts of cognitive therapy, which have been successfully used for the treatment of depression, can also be effectively used for treatment of people suffering from anxious disorders and phobias.
This book is an attempt to understand the alarm from a slightly different point of view. The main thesis is that the central process of adaptation is cognitive, or informational, processing. When this central mechanism is violated, the result is disturbances in feelings and behavior. Therefore, according to the cognitive approach, the correction of thinking disorders leads to a decrease in disturbances in feelings and behavior.
Putting the central role of cognitive, or information, processing raises a number of questions. How does a mechanism form, which, on the one hand, allows a person to perfectly adapt to the dangers of the environment, and on the other hand, plunges him into severe suffering that take the form of anxiety, depression and other psychological disorders? Further, how can the alleged violations in the processing of information determine a variety of symptoms of anxiety disorders? Finally, how could the symptoms of such disorders be reduced, and ideally, completely eliminate them?
The purpose of this book reflects a relatively recent change in the “spirit of time” of behavioral sciences.
From an exceptional emphasis on the emotional reaction, motivation and behavior, the attention of researchers switched to the acquisition, sorting, interpretation and storage of information. This change - the so -called cognitive revolution - was influenced by disciplines so dissimilar as anthropology, social psychology, political science, clinical psychology and psychoanalysis.
