The Institute for CENT is committed to producing a range of books on Cognitive Emotive Narrative Therapy. So far - in October 2012 - five books have been written, and one adopted, as shown below: ~~~
~~~ CENT ebook No.6 is now available:
The main aim of this book is to spread happiness. Not just any old hedonistic happiness, excitement, or thrill seeking; but rather pro-social, moral, sustainable happiness, in line with the insights of Positive psychology, Buddhist psychology, Stoic philosophy and various forms of Rational and Narrative therapy, and the two major systems of writing therapy (the scientific and the artistic). In this book you will find a twelve week program which is designed to help you to manage your life in such a way that you can reduce your unhappiness and increase your happiness. You will learn simple techniques that can produce almost immediate improvements that will astound you. Available here: Creating Joy: How to be much happier, right now! ~~~
In this manual, I want to do two things: (1) To present a basic understanding of the Rational-Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT/CBT) approach to dealing with anxiety’; and (2) To provide a set of exercises for you to do so that you can learn how to analyze your problems with anxiety; identify solutions; and implement those solutions so as to eliminate your anxiety. In that way, you can become your own “counsellor”, in the area of anxiety and fear, because you can learn to fix your own emotional and behavioural problems. For further information, please go to How to control your anxiety... ~~~
Revised and expanded edition of Daniel O'Beeve's memoir. The Institute for CENT agreed to publish this somewhat fictionalized memoir of Daniel O'Beeve's childhood in Ireland, because of its psychologically curative potential. All humans live within stories, and stories are the medium through which we understand ourselves and each other. And some stories contribute greatly to our emotional development and maturity. This story has the potential to change the reader in significant ways. This second edition has four new components: The Editors Explanatory Notes; the Publisher's Foreword; the Author's Foreword; and an Epilogue by the publisher. For further information about this book, see this memoir of childhood in Ireland ~~~
Third revised and expanded edition: 2012. The purpose of this book is to teach the reader what stress is, and
how to combat it. It contains eighteen techniques for reducing physical and mental strain, and to enhance environmental control.
It is written in the form of a self-help manual, with spaces for self-reflection exercises. However, it could also be used
by counsellors, counselling students, and interested others, as a means to learn, understand and present the CENT approach to
Stress Management in counselling, coaching and therapy contexts. If you need to control your stress, or you want to
help others to do so, then this book will help you. ~~~
