Description

Logic-Based Therapy & Consultation (LBTC) is a popular modality of philosophical counseling developed by philosopher Elliot D. Cohen and the first one to have undergone a randomized, controlled efficacy study. Logic-Based Therapy and Consultation: Theory and Applications brings together leading LBTC researchers, trainers, and practitioners to provide the latest account of its theory and apply it to diverse populations including persons with mental health issues, children, athletes, persons with drug and alcohol addictions, persons in a detention center, human services workers, and adolescents. Edited by Elliot D. Cohen, S Zinaich Jr., Himani Chaukar, and Florin Lobont, this collection shows how religious and philosophical traditions from East to West can be used with LBTC to inspire meaningful life change, tackle social issues such as civic conflict, and even attain romantic love. Spanning forty years of research and development, this book should interest instructors of philosophy, religion, psychotherapy, and related areas; social workers and human services/mental health providers; philosophical counselors and consultants; and anyone interested in learning about this versatile approach to coping constructively with problems of living.
