This information is from David D. Burns, although I compiled and posted it. Could someone suggest how to properly cite Burns as the source? Cate108 00:57, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
Feelinggood.com used to have a "Ask the Guru" section, and a lot of it has been archived by http://web.archive.org/ so I have been bookmarking a lot of the sites. You can find them at http://del.icio.us/deanknows/ under various categories.
By the way, Burns talks a lot about striving for success. One way he says it can be achieved is by narrowing your field, whether you are a student or already out of school, but narrowing it down to something very specific, and then becoming the best in that narrow area. I wish he would write more on this matter.
The film Shop Girl starring Claire Danes and Steve Martin happens to show a shot of character Jeremy (Jason Schwartzman) reading Burns' book "Intimate Connections" at the point in the plot where Jeremy is trying to reform himself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulsheer ( talk • contribs) 10:26, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
I can't find the 'Time-Life Inc' books on the internet. Do they exist? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.173.195.62 ( talk) 06:33, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
I find this article to be problematic with respect to its tone and style...it has a lot of weasel words like "classic", "famous", and "pioneer" -- given without reference, and reads as being overly promotional. That said, I think Burns' book "Feeling Good" is great--and the science seems to back this up...which makes the overly POV and promotional language of this page all the more unnecessary and detrimental. I've started a little cleanup and I'd invite people to do some more...and whoever is responsible for writing this stuff originally, I'd encourage you to read about WP:NPOV and the section on weasel words. Burns may have made awesome contributions to therapy and written a really great book that has helped tons of people (including me), but...it's important to maintain the quality of our encyclopedia here. This article needs better sources and it needs a more neutral tone. Cazort ( talk) 01:40, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
It seems that DB's style of therapy has evolved from classical CBT to something he calls T.E.A.M. Therapy, which he claims "delivers high-speed, lasting change for a wide variety of emotional and interpersonal problems." More info on it can be found at http://www.teamtherapytraining.com. This fact seems relevant. It would probably be appropriate for T.E.A.M. Therapy to be mentioned in this Wikipedia article. But I'm not sure how you'd mention it without appearing to advertise his DVDs, which would be inappropriate. So I'll leave it to others to determine the best course. -Patrick, 26 March 2013 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.75.108.195 ( talk) 12:46, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
