I remember looking in a bookstore for good introductions on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and didn't find any; I ended up buying a report of a few case studies (that doesn't go too much in theory), but haven't read it yet. It's a useful reference to have, I just wish it was as accessible as say learning how to program (a topic for which you can find zillions of tutorials on the net).
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).
