This HAS to be the best video I have ever seen from one of Jerome's projects! This is sooo entertaining that even people outside the field will get a kick out of it! What talent you have!!

Dancing for and hour would be as good if not better therapy and much less expensive.

although well acted, there are flaws in this video. Specifically the "D" section is inelegant to the CBT theory. The "D" section would be more about disputing grandiosity in Dr. Freud's thinking, how imperialistic his statements were and how he was using all or nothing thinking, instead the other dr pointed out external (current) findings about Freud's work. In addition, credit is given to Siegelman as if he invented the ABC model. That credit rightfully belongs to Dr. Albert Ellis.

the way Martin Seligman distinguishes between optimists and pessimists irks me a little. At least in the beginning of his book Learned optimism.

My friend unlike me blames others when something goes wrong. Yet I think very few would call him optimistic. He always complains, always tells me and others who annoys him the most at any given time. He is not depressed. So it might be true that people who blame other then themselves are more confident. But are they actually happier and more productive
