The Third Wave of CBT
Conclusion
Thirty years ago the cognitive behavioral approach to therapy was limited to the treatment of major depressive disorder and a very limited treatment for some anxiety disorders. Most practitioners at that time viewed this approach as rather simplistic, but admittedly effective for a small range of problems. The “deeper” and more “challenging” cases would be the focus for “depth” therapies of various kinds. Although those “depth” therapies provided little evidence of any effectiveness, they were seen as addressing the “real underlying problems.”

Eleanor Tucker is fascinated by evidence that children's imaginary playmates are more widespread than ever. Especially as she used to have one herself ...In the 1970s, when I was at primary school, I had a friend. He was the sort of friend who would nowadays alert social services. Because he wasn't a child. And he wasn't a girl. No, he was in his 30s. He had a beard. And his name was Klas.Klas was my imaginary friend. He wasn't about all the time, because he lived near my grandmother in a white house by the station, about half an hour's drive from ours. But as I grew up, he was alluded to. Mentioned. Blamed, even.

Therapists Spill: What You Didn’t Know About Therapy
Therapy is highly misunderstood. That’s due to several key reasons. For starters, therapy is conducted behind closed doors, which makes it harder to fully and accurately capture.
Clients don’t commonly discuss their sessions with others. Sadly, the stigma of seeking therapy prevents many people from sharing their experiences.
“The ‘you must be crazy if you’re in therapy’ myth persists, despite millions of relatively healthy people seeking therapy to overcome a common obstacle or make a good life great,” said Ryan Howes, a clinical psychologist in Pasadena, Calif.
Even if clients talk about their therapy, ...

Depression & Your Child: A Guide for Parents & Caregivers
Until recently, it was believed that children didn’t — and couldn’t — get depressed. But kids do struggle with depression.

Serani is a clinical psychologist who’s been working with kids and adults with mood disorders for over 20 years. She’s also lived with depression since she was a child.
In the book, she writes: “As is the case with pediatric depression, my own depression didn’t hit with lightning-like speed. It...
