Matthew Royal’s Reviews > Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Techniques for Retraining Your Brain > Status Update

It's striking how many blunt diagnostics are used in CBT and for assessing states like depression. You could build an app that for CBT: documenting thoughts, feelings, and behaviors by integration with social media, phone GPS, Fitbit, etc. and your phone could ask occasional questions about how you're feeling, in order to constantly assess and nudge you toward better mental health.

Very mixed idea of who the audience is, given that sometimes Satterfield implies the techniques he's presenting are for the listener to use personally, and other times he speaks to the audience at though they're mental health professionals who have patients themselves.

This is more than just an audiobook. There are recordings of therapy sessions. Perhaps they are reenacted? It feels weird to listen in on these conversations, and I wish that Satterfield went into a description of the CBT process first, rather than delving right into sessions.
