 UNFAIR May 10, 2006

This new approach is interesting, from my perspective as a therapist. But the editorial review is quite misleading about cognitive-behavioral therapy. The editorial implies that CBT is difficult and unsuccessful. In fact, there is strong evidence for the effectiveness of CBT (unlike the approach presented in the book, which has preliminary evidence). As a therapist, I have seen it work wonders in some patients and be helpful for many more patients. For one type of anxiety, in which people are troubled by their excessive worries about real life problems or potential problems, CBT is not especially effective, and Acceptance based therapy may be more helpful. For depression and many types of anxiety, CBT is a treatment of choice.

This book gives practical help to those struggling with depression and anxiety - from mild sufferers through to those battling with chronic conditions. The exercises in the book are simple to follow but give some realistic and tangible ideas on how to improve your life. It recognises that nothing will give you instant relief, though gives lots of ideas on how to move towards a happier life. This book is great for anyone looking to break out of the pit of their depression and anxiety.

M. Scott Peck has delivered this message before in his bestselling book "The Road Less Traveled". He opens it with a section called "Problems and Pain" and starts "Life is difficult". He goes on to to say, get over it and take control, get on with it... What Hayes has done is intentionally or unintentionally copied that message with similar results. People are tired of trying to keep up with the instant gratification world of the media and want to know it's OK to be dissastified and everyone else is basically also. It's not a bad message to reiterate, because it's more real than the "reality" promoted by advertisers.
