Dr Aaron T. Beck, creator of the Beck depression inventory and one of the founding figures in the creation of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy(CBT), has just turned 100 years old.
Beck is not just a creator of CBT but also pioneered talk-therapy strategies in order to help people overcome and deal with their anxiety, depression, addiction and other disorders.
He has been a prolific contributor to the field of mental health with over 70 years of work. He has published over 600 articles and has helped produce over 25 books.
I myself have found Beck’s work to be a true asset to my own development in the field of mental health and well-being.
Thank Dr. Beck all your work throughout your life.
