An Interview with Arjmand Publishing
Dr. Judith Beck was pleased to connect with Arjmand Publishing, who recently published the Farsi language version of the third edition (2021) of her landmark textbook, Cognitive Behavior Therapy: Basics and Beyond. Arya Arjomand, MSc, conducted the interview via Zoom and the conversation focused on the new material (nearly 50% of the book) in this most recent edition. Notably, these changes include new chapters on the therapeutic relationship and incorporating mindfulness into CBT, and a companion website with videos and transcripts of therapy sessions, clinical tips, worksheets, and other helpful resources. The third edition also follows a client with a more complex set of problems, as well as a second client example with personality disorder traits. Dr. Beck emphasizes the use of strength-based techniques adapted from Recovery-Oriented Cognitive Therapy throughout. Watch the full interview below.
