Reviews

[John Carlsson · Rating 4 out of 5]

En intressant bok som beskriver hur man kan med hjälp av KBT kan komma ur en negativ livssituation. Har gjort en del av övningarna tidigare (under överinseende) och de har i många fall påverkat mig i positiv riktning. Författarna står på vetenskaplig grund vilket gör att man kan sluta sig till att detta inte är en självhjälpsbok i mängden.

Den har räddat mig, men det krävs tålamod för att få depressionen att släppa. Man behöver praktisera övningarna konsekvent under en längre period. Det finns ingen quickfix.
