This book provides a comprehensive introduction to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), one of the most widespread and popular psychotherapeutic approaches. As a complete guide, it presents the fundamental theories, techniques, and applications of this therapy, including among others:

• the Socratic method
• case formulation
• the therapeutic relationship
• therapeutic techniques
• cognitive, somatic, and behavioral experiments.

The authors, with extensive and long-standing experience in the field of cognitive behavioral therapy, demonstrate through numerous examples how these techniques can be applied to the most common mental disorders, such as depression and anxiety disorders (panic and agoraphobia, social anxiety, health anxiety, etc.). However, less common disorders (such as eating disorders, psychosis, relationship difficulties, substance abuse, etc.) are also examined, along with various methods of application pertaining to therapy with groups, couples, and families.

The "Introduction to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy" is a valuable guide for mental health professionals and students who wish to gain a complete understanding of the theory and practice of this approach.

The translation into Greek has been edited by two esteemed scientists who have long dedicated themselves to the forefront of CBT and psychotherapy in general, ensuring the accurate transfer of the text into the Greek language.
