Αυτο που σκέφτηκα διαβάζοντας την ανάρτηση είναι οτι τώρα που έχουμε ηλεκτρονικές βιβλιοθήκες με τα πάντα, με ολα τα καλα που αυτο συνεπάγεται, στο μελλον δεν θα μπορούμε να "αγγίξουμε" το παρελθόν. Δεν ξέρω αν θα μπορούμε στο μέλλον να έχουμε τέτοιες εμπειρίες.

Is the webinar open to anyone? I am living in another country (Germany) and I am not a member but I would love to listen to the talk. Thanks!

This "doesn't need to be published" bit was very liberating :)

bad experience with a CBT therapist. I just want to make sure that we are on the same level regarding what CBT says and what it does not say. Thanks for raising this issue by the way.

Also, Padesky's hot cross-bun model (environment, thoughts, behaviours, emotions and physiological reactions) is usually drawn with the last four parts within the environment which points to the fact that all these happen within the environment. I appreciate thought that someone may have had a 2/3

Being a CBT therapist I can say that CBT is based on collaborative empiricism (empiricism meaning that clients/patients test their beliefs and collaborative meaning that we work together with them). I don't think that what you described is part of our training. 1/2

May I point out the typo in abstract, "generaztion"? Thanks for all the article that you publish by the way and offering plenty of them as open access. They contain so much precious info for us, starting CBT therapists! Keep up the excellent work! :)

Great to hear! What about English-speaking communities in other countries? We can easily find books in our local libraries (although number of books is limited) but what we lack is this sense of community and pride that children have when they take part in such initiatives! Keep up the good work!

Totally out of topic but I love your pen! :) such small motivators keep me on track. For me it is always wearing a shirt when writing/editing text. Would love to get such a pen :)

Thanks a lot for taking the time to reply :) Will definitely look into the resources.

Hi there, any chance of pointing to resources for learning to programme? I am a CBT-trainee so I am interested in exploring text from sessions (patient diaries). Where can one start? It looks like an ocean of info for those just starting in the area. Thanks in advance! :)

Nice to meet you too! :)

This is what I said to my stats lecturer when he read μ, to us (Greeks) this is the sound that we use to describe how the cows sound :)

What a kind and thoughtful message :) it's good to hear this on TV, it means a lot to those who have a hard time and on top of that feel that they have to look happy.
