FEATURED THERAPY - COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY

If It’s Broke, Fix It: New Harbinger’s Approach to Cognitive Behavior Therapy

Since 1973, New Harbinger has been committed to publishing books that, in the words of founder Matthew McKay, can “significantly change for the better the life of any serious reader.” To make this happen, we have time and again turned to the proven-effective techniques of cognitive behavior therapy. Based on sound science, these techniques make it possible for our readers to really get down to the business of living their lives in a way that works.

We are also on the cutting edge of the new third-wave behavior therapies. These approaches blend acceptance, mindfulness, and contextualism with traditional behavior-change strategies. Clinical research into these new models has, so far, been very encouraging. We will continue to make these new ideas available to our readers.

In addition to self-help for general readers, New Harbinger Books for Professionals offer a different kind of “self-help” to psychologists, therapists, counselors, and other helping professionals. By focusing on clear presentations of practical techniques without compromising a good theoretical foundation, our books offer the mental health professional an inventory of powerful CBT and third-wave behavioral tools that can be invaluable assets in private or group practice.

FEATURED BOOK - TREATING PTSD IN BATTERED WOMEN
Effective treatment for women with domestic-violence-related PTSD

Based on a new treatment model for post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, this manual offers an effective and comprehensive therapy targeting symptoms of PTSD in battered women. Pioneered by Dr. Kubany, this innovative intervention is called cognitive trauma therapy, or CTT. CTT includes modules on trauma history exploration, negative self-talk monitoring, stress management, building assertiveness, self-advocacy, and a very important module on overcoming trauma-related guilt.
