Mind Over Mood
by Dennis Greenberger and Christine A. Padesky
The standard CBT workbook used by therapists worldwide: thought records, behavioral experiments, core beliefs, with chapters for depression, anxiety, anger, guilt and shame. It is structured, thorough and evidence-based, and it works best done with a pen, slowly, over months.
Read it if…
you want to do actual CBT work on your own, with worksheets.
Skip it if…
you want to read rather than work; it is a workbook.
Three things you will actually use
- Identify the hot thought; test it against evidence.
- Experiments change beliefs faster than argument.
- Mood follows thought; thought can be examined.
