I listened to the audio version of this great course. Satterfield offers a thorough explanation of CBT, its origins, and various methods and techniques psychologists and other clinicians use to treat patients suffering from anxiety, depression, and other emotional and behavioral conditions. Well worth your time if you are interested in mental health, mental illness, and cognitive and behavioral psychology.
