N2  - "I am pleased that David Burns is making available to the general public an approach to mood modification which has stimulated much interest and excitement among mental health professionals. Dr. Burns has condensed years of research conducted at the University of Pennsylvania on the causes and treatments of depression, and lucidly presents the essential self-help component of the specialized treatment that has derived from that research. The book is an important contribution to those who wish to give themselves a "top flight" education in understanding and mastering their moods.
A few words about the evolution of cognitive therapy may interest readers of Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy. Soon after I began my professional career as an enthusiastic student and practitioner of traditional psychoanalytic psychiatry, I began to investigate the empirical support for the Freudian theory and therapy of depression.
While such support proved elusive, the data I obtained in my quest suggested a new, testable theory about the causes of emotional disturbances." —Preface
