Product Description: In the 1950s, Albert Ellis pioneered a form of psychotherapy that combined ways of detecting and changing irrational thoughts with techniques for replacing negative behaviors with positive ones. This type of cognitive behavioral therapy, called rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) by Ellis, proved especially effective at relieving problems like anger, anxiety, and depression. In this book author William Knaus, a close associate of Ellis, develops the best REBT techniques into a powerful and comprehensive self-help workbook for the treatment of depression.
Following in New Harbinger’s tradition, this workbook is written in an easy-to-use, step-by-step format. It offers you powerful strategies for overcoming depression in simple, direct language, amply illustrated with stories and reinforced by techniques you can practice right away. Along with other New Harbinger titles like The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook and The Anger Control Workbook, this major CBT/REBT workbook for depression is destined to become a trusted resource for people with depression, recommended by therapists and sought out by people like you who are inspired to change their own lives for the better.
Book has been quite a help The book has been a slow read, but has had a lot of useful tips and strategies to help me overcome my problems with depression.
Everyperson's Guide To Beating Depression This book is an excellent self-help resourse for anyone fighting depression. It would be most helpful when used in conjunction with individual CBT sessions and appropriate medication.
really works this is a great workbook. it has a lot of examples and even more ways to try to help. I found it very useful
Great product! 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.
A bit of a disappointment but has a few good bits This book was more of a disappointment than the managing thoughts and feelings, which is slightly better. Not well presented but can be used as a psychoeducation resource as it explains cognitive distortions well and provides good worksheets. Not sure if it will be very useful as it is cery simplified and aimed at the individual who perhaps wants to work through their depression independently rather than with professional help.
