About the Book
In this book you will learn about the application of manualized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in treating Generalized Anxiety Disorders. A chapter is devoted to cover the theoretical framework for CBT and the evidence that supports its efficacy in treatment. Lastly, this text utilizes a case based approach to gain knowledge and skills in this treatment approach. The text illustrations, aimed to help the reader create an emotional linkage to the topics, characters and treatment approach, were created by Jonathan Hoffmann using a Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) platform.
