  1. Cognitive therapy is a wonderful and effective human science if written and implemented correctly. It has proven to go deep to address the "disease" and not just the many manifested symptoms such as anger, blaming, and self-justification.

    Today, because of new science and techniques, there are current workbooks that are three to four times more effective than early life skills workbooks. While most life skills providers are still rooted in the old methods of the 1970s and 80s, cognitive therapy have embraced the new psychological systems that have proven to change faulty thinking errors and overcome self -defeating behaviors. Evidence-based research can guarantee that cognitive restructuring materials can drastically reduce current recidivism rate.

    There are those who experienced the therapy think that this program is great. It helped them a great deal in becoming aware of the faulty areas of their thinking and how to change them. Accordingly, it's a very eye-opening program that gave them the tools to improve, and in turn, improve their lives. They even think that every individual should enroll in a program such as this, to improve themselves.
