I kind of feel like this book will only help someone if they keep it to hand & are really diligent in using it for months on end--the kind of project that, perhaps, people struggling w/depression would find hard to commit to!
Absolutely. Although there are a few things in the book that are short enough and concise enough to be helpful immediately (list of examples of distorted thinking comes to mind), much of it often gives me that sinking "well, this would be great if I weren't so tired/bottomed-out to actually DO it". Which, in some ways, kind of points to there being more than just a cognitive element to depression.
