The neuroscience behind Cady's teaching
Cady's medical background gave her writing a clinical precision unusual for the era. Her insistence on practical application over theory aligns with the empirical tradition in CBT: insight alone does not change behaviour — only applied practice creates new neural pathways. Her 'Lessons in Truth' reads as a structured course in belief change, with the sequential scaffolding of a modern therapeutic programme.
