Danny Wedding, Missouri Institute of Mental Health Cognitive
Humanistic Therapy describes a new approach to psychotherapy and
self-development, based on an understanding of what it means to be
"fully human". In a unique integration of theory and practice, the
book synthesises ideas from the cognitive and humanistic domains of
psychotherapy and the religious worlds of Buddhism and Christianity.
Written by bestselling author, Richard Nelson-Jones, Cognitive
Humanistic Therapy explores the idea of being ′fully human′ as a
central goal of human existence, one which has traditionally been the
province of religion. In this book, he examines ways in which
psychotherapy and personal practice can help individuals develop in
both their capacity to reason and their capacity to love. Beginning
with the theoretical underpinnings of the Cognitive Humanistic
perspective, the book goes on to show how clients can become equipped
with the skills to tackle negative reactions and develop positive
attributes such as goodwill, gratitude, compassion, equanimity,
generosity, helping and service. This book presents a powerful new
interpretation of the role of psychotherapy, which will be of interest
to psychotherapists, counsellors, their clients, and also to religious
people.
