Daniel B. Smith offers an illuminating review of
Aaron T. Beck, M.D., the founder of Cognitive Behavior Therapy
(CBT).
"In 2006, Beck won the Lasker Award, the most
prestigious scientific honor in the United States, often referred

made. Medication alone resulted in improvement in 55% of the
subjects.

diet book ever to focus on the psychology of permanent weight
loss. In short, it doesn't tell you what foods to eat or avoid.
Instead, it tells you how to stick to a healthy eating plan of
your own choice—for good—by changing the way you talk to yourself
when confronted with temptation, cravings and the inevitable
dietary lapses."
