Feeling Great
The Revolutionary New Treatment for Depression and Anxiety
David D. Burns MD
In 'Feeling Great', Dr. David Burns introduces a groundbreaking approach to treating depression and anxiety, known as TEAM-CBT (Testing, Empathy, Agenda Setting, Methods). The book challenges the conventional view that negative moods result from what’s wrong with us, instead suggesting they reflect what’s right with us. It includes over 50 practical tools and inspiring case studies to help readers overcome negative thoughts and develop feelings of joy and enlightenment. The approach emphasizes changing maladaptive thoughts through cognitive behavioral therapy and addresses resistance in therapy, making it a valuable resource for both individuals and mental health professionals[1][2][5].
