Good Basics of Cognitive Therapy.

This book is arguably the best self-help book available for anyone suffering from depression. It presents the basics of congitive therapy in a format that the average person can use. Cognitive therapy and the overwhelming scientific evidence for its effectiveness are described in the first few chapters. Dysfunctional thought records are introduced as the primary self-help technique for the reader next (in a chapter labeled as self-esteem so do not skip it). Later in the book, individual issues, many of which may be experienced by the reader, are discussed in depth to give the reader new ways to consider these issues as they use thought records to help themselves.

This self-help approach is not quite as effective as using the book during therapy with a cogntive therapist, but the price of this book makes it affordable for everyone. I have talked with people who still today use some of the practical techniques from Feeling Good, even twenty years after they first read it. This is a good general starting place to learn about cognitive therapy.

Along with therapy, this is a GREAT book!

This book, along with therapy has helped me get back on track in my life. It straightened out all the kinks. I coupled psychotherapy once a week while reading this book... no antidepressents! It made me come a long way in a very difficult journey.

Fantastic book. It's helpful and practical.

I read this book years ago and found it very helpful. I'm a teacher and have used many of its ideas over the years. Its info on self esteem is very valuable.

Great -- IF you use it

Amazing book. Tons of insight and many many tools to use to get at the roots of mal-thinking. Trouble is, one must still make oneself do the exercises to get the results. :) Seriously, though, I found the exercise of asking yourself over and over "Why does this upset you?" when dealing with an upsetting event or idea really gets you to the core of the issue. Every time I remember to use this technique, I have a huge Aha! moment and resolve issues. I really do believe that if a person read and used this book regularly for a year, thousands of dollars could be saved in therapy. Combine it with the powerful technique of EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and even more mental garbage is quickly removed. Highly recommend.

Very Helpful!

This book is truly awakening, it made me realize how distorted I view the world. I believe that the learnings I have gained from this book will make me a better wife, mother and friend. Good luck to all in the frustrating battle with depression, I hope you find the book as helpful as I did!
