Cognitive Therapy is a brief and accessible survey of this popular, time-limited form of psychotherapy for specific functional problems. The author provides a historical overview of the approach and an outline of the cognitive therapeutic model and its central tenets, such as maladaptive schemas, automatic thoughts and cognitive distortions.

Cognitive Therapy examines how therapy is conducted, evaluates the therapy's evidence base and effectiveness, and suggests future directions in the development of the therapy.
