Many of the benefits of CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) can be obtained without going into therapy. There are a number of self-help books, CDs and computer programs that have been used to treat depression and some of these have been tested in clinical trials with positive results.

The other book that I can recommend with confidence is 'Feeling Good' by the psychiatrist David Burns.
