Cognitive behavioral therapy by unskilled practitioners is a form of torture. The ethics are contextual. The manualized protocol is insufficient.

- mansoon 5y agoThe topmost comment in this tree is describing something I agree to as ethical.
- kayodelycaon 5y agoIt is possible to learn it from a book on your own. I recommend The Feeling Good Handbook by David D. Burns. https://www.amazon.com/Feeling-Good-Handbook-David-Burns/dp/0452281326 https://www.amazon.com/Feeling-Good-Handbook-David-Burns/dp/... This is the book my therapist had me read as part of my “homework” between sessions. While this is completely anecdotal, it’s helped a number of people I’ve recommended it to and they have recommended it to others, who also have been helped. Learning what emotions are, what they mean, and how to recognize them is empowering.
