Cognitive behavioral therapy is a treatment that is constantly evolving.
Cognitive behavioral therapy has established itself as an evidence-based treatment with proven effectiveness in treating many mental disorders, including depression, social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, alcoholism, and binge eating disorder. However, attempts to develop and apply new treatment elements are still actively being made.
The most significant characteristic that makes cognitive behavioral therapy truly cognitive behavioral therapy is the spirit of continuous challenge and development to develop it into a more effective treatment, without settling for its current status.

A book that perfectly reflects this pioneering spirit and open-minded attitude is Mind Over Mood 2nd Edition.
Mind Over Mood is a book that clearly and kindly explains the core principles and methods of cognitive behavioral therapy, and has become a bestseller widely read by people suffering from mood issues.
Nevertheless, the authors published Mind Over Mood, 2nd ed., to introduce more powerful mood management techniques by incorporating new approaches developed in the field of cognitive behavioral therapy over the past 20 years and supplementing existing material.


When I heard that the 2nd edition of 『Mind Over Mood』 had been published, I was delighted to read it and felt that the authors' efforts in the 2nd edition were not in vain.
In the second edition, not only has the book's content been enriched, but the therapeutic elements of acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness meditation, and positive psychology, which have brought a new wind of change to the field of cognitive behavioral therapy over the past 20 years, have been introduced and combined well with the existing content.
In particular, the newly included Chapter 5, which focuses on setting clear goals, and Chapter 10, which introduces new thinking and action plans and acceptance, will be of great help to readers in the process of managing their own moods.
Additionally, the book provides numerous examples throughout to help readers understand and encourages them to continuously check and monitor their moods, thereby encouraging them to achieve real changes in their mood.
These changes introduced in the second edition are a reflection of the therapeutic expertise gained through clinical experience by the authors, Dr. Greenberger and Dr. Fedesky.
