Windy Dryden is one of the leading practitioners and trainers in
the UK in the Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) tradition of
psychotherapy. He is best known for his work in Rational-Emotive
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (RECBT), a leading CBT approach.
He has been working in the field of counselling and
psychotherapy since 1975 and was one of the first people in Britain
to be trained in CBT.
He has published over 200 books and has trained therapists all over
the world, in as diverse places as the UK, the USA, South Africa,
Turkey and Israel.
He is Emeritus Professor of Psychotherapeutic Studies at
Goldsmiths, University of London.
Albert Ellis, Ph.D., was the intellectual founder of all clinical
approaches that now fall under the rubric of cognitive behavior
therapy, and he is generally regarded as one of the most
influential psychologists of the 20th century. His Rational Emotive
Behavior Therapy is now practiced and taught throughout the world,
along with the numerous similar therapies that it spawned. Dr.
Ellis wrote 70 books and more than 600 journal articles and
monographs. At the Albert Ellis Institute, which he founded and
managed for more than half a century, he personally trained or
supervised thousands of clinicians. As a practicing psychologist,
he personally helped more than 10,000 people lead less painful and
more productive lives. Dr. Ellis received dozens of awards from
organizations like the American Psychological Association and
American Counseling Association for his tireless work in advancing
psychology, counseling, and social work. When he received his Ph.D.
from Columbia University in 1947, he had already established
himself as the most renowned sex therapist in the first half of the
20th century, and he then went on to revolutionize the field of
clinical psychology. Dr. Ellis died July 24, 2007, while this book
was in the final stages of preparation.
`A remarkably useful book for the practitioners of Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy and other kinds of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. Very clearly and intensively covers what effective therapeutic change is and the therapist′s and the client′s role in following it and in fighting against relapsing. Dryden′s and Neenan′s book includes many important points that are often omitted from REBT and other therapies. Definitive and thoroughgoing!′ - Albert Ellis, President of Albert Ellis Institute
