    Biography

    Kenneth Sharoff

    "This is an up-to-date and well-integrated book on the many important aspects of cognitive-behavior therapy. Like Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), it adequately covers coping skills training and specific behavioral methods of treatment; and it also thoroughly includes the cognitive restructuring of absolutistic irrational beliefs and the use of sensation, experiential, and feeling processes. Very well done!" -- Albert Ellis, President, Albert Ellis Institute, New York City and author of Overcoming Destructive Beliefs, Feelings, and Behaviors
