- hga 13y agoHere it is http://www.amazon.com/Feeling-Good-The-Mood-Therapy/dp/0380810336/ http://www.amazon.com/Feeling-Good-The-Mood-Therapy/dp/03808... at Amazon. I can only directly recommend the '80s version, before the "Behavioral" bit was added, but I found it to be very very powerful. In 20/20 hindsight, so good that talk therapy afterwords hasn't been useful (there's no doubt a bit of Psychologist Roulette as grivo puts it involved, maybe there's a better therapist out there that I haven't found, but...).
- aw3c2 13y agoReference for that research?
- artjumble 13y agoNot sure if there is any outside research. I believe that newer additions has this info in the preface. But I can say I felt good while reading it. I need to do that again.
- themodelplumber 13y agoA friend who is a very experienced therapist told me that "10 Days to Self Esteem" was, despite the awful title, the book she recommended most. It contains a testing/evaluation method you can use to evaluate yourself without setting foot in a therapist's office, and functions more like a workbook. Seems pretty cool except I don't want to give the idea here that people should avoid the therapist.
