When I said Burns was moody and bitter, etc. I didn't mean to be knocking CBT techniques or even Burns's books ("Feeling Good" & "The Feeling Good Handbook"), which are I think the best presentations of CBT theory & technique, howevermuch he oversells it.
All schools of psychotherapy oversell their results and promote themselves as uniquely true and insightful. Even the "Client-Directed" group that thinks all schools of therapy are equal: they're smug that only *they* realize this.
