I was looking for an easy popularisation of CBT as a general doctrine. Instead, I got a bucket load of details. This book is a bizarrely mechanical listing of various Third Wave CBT techniques and schools. It doesn't attempt to offer any analysis of their relative strengths or weaknesses. Instead, it simply presents them to the reader, nonjudgmental and inert, like stranded whales on the beach.

Did I like it? Yeah, kind of, about as much as I enjoy lazily researched Wikipedia articles. Its biggest merit is the amount of fine-grained detail that it has about the various forms of CBT. Its biggest demerit is a complete lack of interest in finding out which one of the techniques is the best. Scientific analysis is absent. Choosing a form of therapy is presented as analogous to choosing groceries in the supermarket. Informational asymmetry be damned. The author cops out by urging the reader to freely choose the technique that "works for them." Yes, but how can they choose if they don't even know how to evaluate the various merits of the various techniques?

At any rate, I shouldn't be too harsh, since this was clearly not the book I was looking for. However, I learned many interesting self-help techniques, historical facts, and terminology from it. CBT remains at the core of human healing. At its best, it can even turn the normal into the transcendental. Any book that gives people an inkling of what CBT can do - by sprinkling a bit of its proven magic stardust into the reader's unsuspecting psyche - gets a pass from me.
