What We Publish
We look for psychology and health self-help books that help professionals and lay people alike develop practical tools to deal with life, addiction and mental health issues. Our books must be not only simple and easy to understand but also complete and authoritative. Most of our authors are therapists or other helping professionals.
Theoretical Orientations
Many of our books are based on a cognitive behavioral approach. We believe that painful emotions and undesirable behaviors are often caused by distorted thoughts or inaccurate interpretations of events. To relieve a painful emotion or alter an undesirable behavior pattern, it is first necessary to uncover and change the underlying inaccurate self-statements. Cognitive therapy translates particularly well into the self-help format because it typically uses a lot of step-by-step exercises and homework.
