Synopsis

The classic book of therapy, "one of the best self-help books ever written" (Albert Ellis, Ph.D.), available for the first time in trade paperback. Based on the two significant assumptions that assertiveness is crucial in interpersonal relationships and that we are not victims of circumstance, but that the locus of control is in ourselves, this work shows how to change your thinking and your behavior.

Review:

It is difficult to think of a personal problem this is not explicitly discussed in I Can If I Want To... -- Norman Cousins

This is a little book, but it packs a lot of common sense. It is a how-to-do-it manual, and must be taken seriously. -- Kansas City Star
