Captivating  and direct, it still seems fresh, though it also conveys the spirit of New York City in the late 1940’s. It vividly evokes the timeless concerns of people striving for happiness and self-actualization amid the energy of post-war America, the hum of traffic, the buzz of restaurants and cocktail parties. It will teach you how to be more aware of your feelings and more authentic in your life, and thereby to be happier and more fulfilled in your relationships and career.\"I have read [Salter’s work] with admiration and approval.\" - H.G.

It emphasized assertive and expressive behavior as the way to combat inhibitory behavioral and self-defeating cognitive patterns which Salter argued were the underlying causes of most neuroses. In the early 1940's, Salter developed a model of hypnosis and hypnotherapy based on conditioning which has since become broadly accepted.","brand":"Watkins Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46303992774885,"sku":"NP9781786782908","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781786782908.jpg?v=1767724032","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/conditioned-reflex-therapy-isbn-9781786782908","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
