  Step-by-step guides to self-improvement that introduce the methods of the highly regarded cognitive behavioral therapy technique to help readers conquer a broad range of disabling conditions-from worry to body image problems to obsessive compulsive disorder and more. The accessible, straightforward, and practical books in the Overcoming series treat disorders by changing unhelpful patterns of behavior and thought. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) was developed by psychiatrist Aaron T. Beck and is now internationally favored as a practical means of overcoming longstanding and disabling conditions, both psychological and physical. CBT insists that our thoughts cause our feelings and behaviors. Even when our situation does not change, if we change the self-defeating ways we think, we can make ourselves feel better. This positive, pragmatic approach is popular with therapists and patients alike. Books in the Overcoming Series: * Highlight the history and background of the disorder, who is likely to be affected, and what the main symptoms are * Provide a structure ideal for personal use or in a program using guided self-help techniques * Include diagnostic questionnaires, case studies, and workbook-style interactive exercises * Explore step-by-step techniques such as diary- and record-keeping, problem-solving, and managing symptoms * Include overviews of all treatment options * Offer authoritative, commonsense solutions to pervasive, difficult emotional problems * Are highly recommended by experts around the world * And offer readers an affordable and easy-to-follow treatment plan

  This is a self-help manual for those who find that they are spoiling the lives of both themselves and those around them with their almost constant irritability and flashes of bad temper. It speaks to those who often find themselves saying and doing things they later regret. It will help the reader understand why such behaviour occurs and what can be done to prevent it. Like all the Overcoming guides it takes a positive approach for which the long-term goal in this case is lasting 'good temper' and also looks at how best to handle situations which would tax even the most good-natured person!
