The Public

The researchers, teachers, and therapists who use cognitive-behavior therapy are devoted to the relief of human suffering using methods that have been shown to work. They study techniques, constantly testing them against others, constantly refining; they teach them in real world settings and in role plays (those looking to see some of the syllabi may want to look in the section on Educators and Trainers); and they provide therapy for problems ranging from the anxiety a child experiences on the first day of school to the nightmares a returning vet experiences suffering through PTSD. In these pages you’ll see fact sheets that briefly explain many of these disorders and how our therapists might treat them; information on protecting yourself from some of the anxiety and uncertainty we experience in disasters, whether man-made or natural; and guidance on choosing a therapist near you who specializes in treating the problems you’re experiencing.
