Very helpful,

This review is from: The Cognitive Behavioral Workbook for Depression: A Step-by-Step Program (Paperback)
This is a very good book for anyone dealing with depression, stress or anxiety. There are many insightful chapters that help the reader deal with their issues in a very healthy, clear way. Also, there are exercises that are designed to help the reader grow and challenge negative patterns of thought. Sometimes the writing is a bit dry and academic, but overall this is a good book for the price. I'm sure it will help you in one way or another.

Jump Out Of That Hole :),
By Josh "JAC" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Cognitive Behavioral Workbook for Depression: A Step-by-Step Program (Paperback)
I ordered this book just after this last Christmas 06' when I was pretty down. This book is GREAT! It is by far the best book of it's kind that I have seen out there. I shopped around for some time before I settled on this one. I wanted to make sure I got one that was packed with the help and information that I needed and this was it!I suffer from Anxiety/Panic Disorder, Depression and slight Agorophobia. I was seeing a Therapist - and she told me that I could benefit from a workbook of some sort so, that's when I decided on this one. She was right. I actually feel that I got more help from following along with this book than from her. lol This book is JAMMED with information along with tons of excersises and tasks, quizzes and checklists to follow along and do. The beauty of it is that you do it all at your own pace and your own comfort level. It starts out basic with you getting familiar with your 'needs' and familiarizing yourself with your depression and then it gets more in depth as far as the excersises go the further you go in the book. I am in no way saying this is a cure for depression or for whatever it is that you're going through but, it is a tremendous help! People saw a huge change in me. As anyone knows that goes through any of this sort of stuff - it is always a work in progress. But, you can always revert back to the book and do any of the excersises over and over again as many times as you want to. You'll find that they get easier each time you do them. It is a great book to start off with or a good book to add to your existing collection. It helped me a great deal and I am in a MUCH better place right now thanks to the help of this book!!!! :) ~~~JAC 07' 117 of 123 people found the following review helpful

Not Your Typical Self-Help Book: Depressed? Help is on the way!!!,
By Rocco B. Rubino "Rocco R." - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Cognitive Behavioral Workbook for Depression: A Step-by-Step Program (Paperback)
Albert Ellis once made the comment that the goal of therapy was not just to help people feel better (he was referring to a short-term, quick-fix that would not last), the goal of therapy is to help people get better and stay that way.Depression has been called the common cold of the mind; however it effects are a lot more insidious that a case of the sniffles. A person's life can be destroyed by depression much in the way it can be destroyed by chemical/substance abuse. For individuals with mild to moderate depression, this resource can lessen the suffering of depression. If you are sick and tired of being sick and tired, then this book is for you. Why do I say this? Because this book is filled with research-based interventions from the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy schools of thought. Both are empirically supported as being the most efficacious in dealing with depression. This book will help you to, develop a personal plan for change, assess your depression and learn best how to overcome it, combat/defeat depressive thoughts and beliefs, overcome thoughts of helplessness, worthlessness, and self-blaming/guilt, as well as how to use CBT/REBT techniques for making positive life changes. This is not a book that you can breeze through and feel good by the end of the week. It took a while to get into the depressive state we have found ourselves in; it will take some time to re-train ourselves to start thinking more adaptively. But if you have the will, desire, and the discipline, this book will not disappoint. Dr. Knaus writes with authority on the subject and, as a consequence, has performed a valuable public health service. 40 of 42 people found the following review helpful

Great product!,
By Patricia A. Hull "Psychw2" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Cognitive Behavioral Workbook for Depression: A Step-by-Step Program (Paperback)
I have used this workbook professionally and would recommend it to other professions as well. This is also a wonderful aid for people who would like to do some work independent of their therapist.
