This wonderful collection of essays clearly and decisively answers the cynical question: What's the use of philosophy? Written by an all-star cast of some of the most internationally prominent theorists and practitioners of LBT&C, the guiding virtue of this volume is its concern with helping millions of people who seek to improve their mental health. Highly recommended! -- James Stacey Taylor, The College of New Jersey Logic-Based Therapy and Consultation: Theory and Applications edited by Elliot D. Cohen, founder of Logic-Based Therapy and Consultation (LBTC), S Zinaich Jr., Himani Chaukar, and Florin Lobont is a groundbreaking anthology that illuminates the transformative power of logic-based approaches in therapy. Its pages offer not only a rich tapestry of theoretical foundations and practical techniques but also a roadmap for profound personal transformation. Representing a convergence of cutting-edge insights from diverse cultural backgrounds, this anthology offers a comprehensive exploration of LBTC. It also provides a rare opportunity for LBTC clients to confront their difficulties head-on, armed with a methodology that seamlessly integrates Western and Eastern philosophical theories. The insights found in this anthology are not confined to the therapist's office; rather, they extend into realms as varied as religion and social issues, reflecting the holistic nature of LBTC's applications. For practitioners and the wider public alike, Logic-Based Therapy and Consultation: Theory and Applications serves as an indispensable resource. -- Angelo Manassero, Philosophical Consultant, The National Philosophical Counseling Association
