The Institute for CENT produces and publishes books on CENT counselling theory, application to general counselling contexts, and on specialist subjects, like stress, self-confidence, anxiety, and anger management.

The Institute for CENT is committed to producing a range of books on Cognitive Emotive Narrative Therapy.  So far - in December 2011 - four books have been written, and one adopted, as follows:

Anxiety.book.2.jpgCENT e-book No.5: How to Control Your Anxiety: A rational approach using REBT/CBT

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...

Crown-of-thorns-4.jpgCENT e-book No.4: Crown of Thorns - A Memoir of Childhood in Ireland by Daniel O'Beeve

The Institute for CENT agreed to publish this somewhat fictionalized memoir of 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.

For further information about this book, see this memorir of childhood in Ireland

Stress.book.cover.jpgCENT e-book No.3: How to Reduce and Control Your Stress Level, and to Have a Happier Life: The CENT approach

The purpose of this book is to teach the reader what stress is, and how to combat it. 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.

For further information on this book, go to How to Control Your Stress Level...
