I'm just getting into learning about CBT and its relatives. I'm in the middle of Cognitive Therapy: Basics and Beyond. Benefits: It seems pretty comprehensive and detailed, with plenty of "dialogs" between patient and therapist to illustrate the communication of various CBT concepts and techniques. Drawbacks: Because it's geared toward therapists, not patients, some of the information seems irrelevant for self-therapy, e.g. how to structure a session.

Part of the point of CBT is to prepare people to be their own therapists. It would be nice if anyone out there knew about literature specifically about self-therapy.

Heh, what you describe looks exactly like the book I have (though it's in French, so it's not the same book).
