Rating: Summary: The Button Therapy Book Review: Before reading this book, I thought the best I could do when my emotional buttons were pushed, was to recognize and interrupt the reaction. I never expected that I could possibly eliminate the buttons entirely. I plan to apply this wisdom to my own life and share the lessons with my patients.

Rating: Summary: Get ready to unbutton and be free! Review: Button Therapy, a 'MUST HAVE' for any mental health professional and/or the lay person. I have found many insights in this book and I have recommended it to just about everyone I know. I think that Dr. Goodwin has hit the 'button on the head', and has loosened it's thread with his insightful, caring explanation of our 'buttons' and how to deal with them. I find myself referring to it regularly in my business. Thanks Lloyd, I am happier, my clients are happier and we all understand ourselves and others better now that we have read your book. We will all be looking forward to your next work!Suzanne Osborne, Ph.D.,Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist,Forensic Psychologist, Criminal Profiler, Counselor
Rating: Summary: CONGRATULATIONS !!! Review: Congratulations Dr. Goodwin. You've done a wonderful job. I like the holistic nature of this cognitive behavior therapy model. The vast majority of clients I have worked with, see themselves as pawns in this world being blown from one situation to the other with minimal control. They often experience their emotions/actions as responsive to external forces rather than behavioral choices over which they have control. The Button Therapy Book teaches that the locus of most situations is internal and therefore, under our control. Most of us are spiritually empty. I am very positive that whoever has above problem will be able to fill that void by reading the Button Therapy Book. I will recommend this book to any mental health professional I know.
Rating: Summary: Effective, easy, elegant Review: Dr. Goodwin says what other "Dr's." say in ways that make the information accessible, useful and helpful. Every one of us has felt the pushing of our buttons and not been aware of it or known what to do about it. This book heightened my own awareness from "what? feelings? bah!" to "hey, this is cool stuff, I can actually know what I'm doing with all this emotional stuff running amuck inside me." Hey, it'll make life easier and better. So where can you spend a few bucks and get such a deal?

Rating: Summary: Button Therapy Book: Good for Self-Helpers and Professionals Review: Goodwin has written a very readable book which includes a thorough compilation of respected authors, therapists, and philosophers. Those views, augmented with his many years of counseling experience, provide a useful theoretical and practical book for both the mental health professional as well as the individual seeking a good self-help reference and guide, including inventories in the appendix.
Rating: Summary: Button Therapy Review: I was excited to see three decades of counseling theories, approaches, and strategies in mind-body therapy, brought together in one resource that is readibly accessible for either the lay-reader or counseling professional. This book is unique because it combines psychological research with very usable self-assessments and self-help techniques that can be applied in the "real world". The element that I found most helpful are the "30 Seeds for Your Mind's Garden" in Chapter 21. This presents a summary and cognitive guideline of living life most effectively to its fullest potential
Rating: Summary: The Button Therapy Book Review: The Button Therapy Book has made an incredible difference in my attitude and my life. I am able to relax more and don't get as uptight or angry as I used to. I have always been a person who had my "buttons pushed" fairly easily and now I understand how to identify my buttons, address them in a calm and loving way and most importantly, get rid of them. I've also been able to take the information given in the book and pass it on to my children to help them overcome their "buttons." Dr. Goodwin gives the reader all the tools they need to live happier, healthier lives, starting immediately! I highly recommend this book, it is a must for any person who is interested in improving his/her quality of life and getting rid of those buttons!
