My understanding of CBT comes primarily from Burn's "Feeling Good", the exemplar for CBT therapy. The quotes below are taken from the book and are consistent with my previous description of CBT. "change the way you feel by changing the way you think". "... we think that the causes [of our bad moods] result from something beyond our control... you can learn to change the way you think about things, and you can also change your values and beliefs. And when you do, you will often experience profound and lasting changes in your mood, outlook, and productivity. That in a nutshell is what cognitive therapy is all about." Emphasis mine.
