What a terrific comment. They cite Burns (1980). Burns is still going. His recent work is on why CBT practitioners often fail and how they go wrong. One aspect of his approach is that distortions aren’t all bad. There a good things about them, and are in a way a powerful source of strength. A well-meaning practioner can paradoxically trigger resistance and cause a patient to dig in deeper. (Reactionaries with an agenda like Haidt etc is another story).
