Gary BakkerGary Bakker is a clinical psychologist with 40 years of experience (over 20,000 consultations!) working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families in clinics, hospitals, community centres, and for 30 years in private practice. He traind in CBT when it was newly emerging as the evidence-based therapy of choice, receiving the Fiona Allen Prize during his masters program. Gary has since given innumerable seminars and workshops on themes in CBT, all the while honing its presentation, clarity, and acceptability for his clients, resulting in the verbatim suggested scripts that comprise much of this book. He has bridged the gap between attention to the psychotherapy process and outcome research, and the demands of practical real-world therapy. The result is a whole new non-medicalising conception of clinical psychological problems, called PMC Theory. Read More Read Less
