• Sad, sad, sad
  I was so excited to get this book and then realized it was really advertising for the book clients are to use. If you flip through this book you will see on each page the authors site their book SO MANY TIMES.... we are educated people and they can't stop citing the book we are reading. Not very helpful sadly.

• TRY IT
  MECHANISTIC,BUT HELPFUL.IF YOU ARE DESPERATE,TRY IT.IT IS GUARANTEED NOT TO MAKE YOU WORSE,THOUGH IT MAY MAKE YOU BETTER.
  NOT MUCH OF A BOOK,THOUGH...BUT HELPFUL...ITS OK...

• Paint by numbers?
  This book seems an afterthought to the self-help book, and a very poorly written and edited one at that.

  There is little or no clinical wisdom here. One is left wondering how much client contact Padesky has.

  It would be mind-numbing to use the book in real-life clinical practice... "turn to p 33... turn to p 45... turn to p 79..." .

  Not recommended.

• Essential companion to workbook
  What makes this book so useful is that it assists the therapist in effectively guiding the client as s/he follows the workbook in dealing with his/her mood disorder. It shows how best to employ the workbook in therapy, help the client set goals, and individualize the exercises. It demonstrates its application not only to individuals but also to groups, brief therapy, and inpatient settings. Under each situational category, it provides a session by session description of the book's integration with therapy.... more info
