In reply to not sure which David Burns book to give, posted by ignored on November 29, 2002, at 19:18:48
I think Feeling Good is the most popular one. There is also one called Intimate Connections which if I remember correctly is mainly for single people about social/dating relationship issues. I'm not sure about the workbooks, I haven't looked at those. If she hasn't read Feeling Good I would give her that.
> I have a good friend and I know that I want to introduce to her cognitive therapy. She likes doing the worksheets and stuff that I hate. From what I've heard, David Burns is the way to go. I want to buy her a book for Christmas, but I'm not sure which one to get.
