Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and beyond (with David Burns)

Clearer Thinking with Spencer Greenberg

NOTE

Dodo effect studies, but his book is more effective?

Randomized control trials have shown that various therapeutic techniques perform similarly in reducing depression inventory scores, with most therapies only achieving about a 50% reduction in scores for half of the patients treated. The speaker's app, although not categorized as an antidepressant treatment, has demonstrated a 60% reduction in negative emotions within two days, indicating effects beyond a placebo. The speaker argues that traditional schools of therapy often only achieve a placebo effect, and data does not support their superiority in treating depression or anxiety disorders. Outcome studies on the book 'Feeling Good' have shown promising results, with 50 to 65% of individuals improving significantly after reading the book and not requiring further professional treatment or medications. The speaker's app aims to surpass the efficacy of the book in achieving positive outcomes based on beta testing results.
