Mental health problems will affect most of us at some point in our lives and one in four of us will seek help from our GP. In addition, most of us will experience a wide range of emotional problems such as relationship problems or low self-esteem.

But therapeutic techniques have been proved to be effective in helping with these problems. All of Robinson’s self-help titles, including the bestselling Overcoming series, are based on therapies with a strong base of evidence that they work in reducing psychological and emotional problems.

Titles in the Overcoming series largely use techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), along with strategies from other therapies that have been proven to work for a particular problem or disorder. Robinson also publishes titles that use techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Mindfulness, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) or that use a blended mixture of these approaches.

Our authors are psychologists, psychiatrists, trained therapists and counsellors and each of them is a leading expert in their field. The resources are based on their many years of experience treating patients. Many titles are recommended under the Reading Well scheme.
