Biography
Windy Dryden is in part-time clinical and consultative practice and is an international authority on cognitive behaviour therapy. He is Emeritus Professor of Psychotherapeutic Studies at Goldsmiths, University of London. He has worked in psychotherapy for more than 40 years and is the author and editor of over 225 books.
The book details the numerous helpful contributions that the author has made over the years - all of which have added to the efficacy of REBT...It is a 'must read' for all those who practise REBT and I would suggest equally important for those who don't practise REBT but are interested in helping people.
