Participants in the therapy group are encouraged to use the Beck Depression Inventory in concert with the workbook to check their progress.

Reviews of the ODL
"Overcoming Depression and Loss is an excellent example of the effective and efficient psychotherapies of the future. This workbook is on the cutting edge." —Nicholas Cummings, Ph.D., Foundation for Behavioral Health
"Dr. White's workbook for Group Cognitive Therapy makes an important new contribution to the field of time-limited psychotherapy. All the major components of Beckian cognitive therapy are seamlessly interwoven into this clear, concise, instructive, and user-friendly manual that is sure to become a staple for education and practice in group psychotherapy. Dr. White's workbook is a highly usable and useful basis for conducting a powerful course of short-term cognitive therapy in a group setting. I enthusiastically recommend its use for training, clinical, and research purposes." —Cory F. Newman, Ph.D.
