This book incorporates the new developments and changes that have occurred in recent years within the cognitive-behavioral approach. Its aim is to provide the reader with the necessary theoretical foundations to understand the self-management model and its applications in educational practice, as well as to contribute to the improvement of the professional self of mental health specialists and educators engaged in counseling.

Specifically, the book presents the self-regulation model, an intervention action model when people's intrinsic self-regulatory mechanisms are insufficient, and the seven phases of the self-management model, which is the result of the theoretical and research work of three renowned scientists in the field.

The particular contribution of the book lies in the presentation of the use of the self-management model for enhancing the self-awareness of mental health specialists and educators involved in counseling. In this context, the author describes her experiences from what takes place in specific self-awareness groups.

Certainly, one book is not enough to genuinely benefit the reader on a personal level, nor is it sufficient as an educational manual for coordinating self-awareness groups. However, it can inform and raise awareness for anyone interested in the subject and simultaneously provide the experienced cognitive-behavioral psychotherapist with a framework for organizing their therapeutic work based on the self-management model.
