Richard Nelson-Jones’ Cognitive Humanistic Therapy explores the idea of being ‘fully human’ as a central goal of human existence, one which has traditionally been the province of religion. In this book – a unique synthesis of ideas from the cognitive and humanistic domains of psychotherapy and the religious worlds of Buddhism and Christianity – examines ways in which psychotherapy and personal practice can help individuals develop in both their capacity to reason and their capacity to love.
Beginning with the theoretical underpinnings of cognitive humanism, the book goes on to show how clients can become equipped with the skills to tackle negative reactions and develop positive attributes such as goodwill, gratitude, compassion, equanimity, generosity, helping and service. Cognitive Humanistic Therapy presents a powerful new interpretation of the role of psychotherapy, which will be of interest to psychotherapists, counsellors, their clients, and also to those who hold religious beliefs.
