Stoic CBT
Greek Philosophy Our interpretations may often be inaccurate, irrational or self-destructive, and this will make us emotionally sick."
What do you think of the points made in the article at the end of this file (Anxious? Depressed? Try Greek philosophy)? What are the main points of stoic philosophy and how might they affect the way you think about your life. Provide concrete examples.
I think the points made in the article are as relevant today was they were in ancient Greece. The Greeks were truly pioneers in critical thinking and laid the foundation of Western thought.

Efficacious Interventions for Grieving Families In response to the recent mass shootings in Orlando, Florida that claimed the lives of 50 innocent Americans, Orlando's public and private sectors have come together to offer grief counseling services to family members and friends affected by the tragedy as well as any other citizens who were traumatized by these events.

Tom Shulich ("Coltish Hum") A Critical Comparison of Behavior Therapy and Rational-Emotive Therapy In this paper, I consider the benefits and drawbacks of behavior therapy and the cognitive therapy. These are talking therapies that now have over a half-century of application in clinical settings and are still used today in conjunction with, or as an alternative to, drug treatments of psychological disorders. I conclude that these therapies are still useful, though each
