By the way, we're going to call it Feeling Great Therapy for the general public rather than Team CBT because people don't quite know what it is. It really isn't CBT, although it has a lot of cognitive therapy in it. Oh, Feeling Great Therapy. Okay. Yeah. I love that. Yeah, we should have like a Feeling Great Therapy Center. Oh, we already have one of those. Cool.

My answer to that question is it would depend on whether or not the prisoners would be allowed to have an Internet connection, because I think you have to have that to use the app, right? Yes. And because it's a cell phone application, we hope to have it for computer as well. Right now we have it for iPhone and for Android. But I think that could be a great thing for any prisoners who want.

There's always the danger that people are going to misuse a tool. So they may have strict rules about that in prison systems. But I think the... in some way, we're all in solitary confinement. We think we're interacting with each other, but much of the time, our ideas about what other people are thinking and feeling aren't even valid. But the app, I think, could do great for prisoners and

any kind of prison including solitary confinement because there's a tremendous amount of material there to learn and you can change the way you you you think and feel and it would be really really fun to do a study like that and because the app collects data all the time and we could find out right away

if it's helpful to people and to what degree, and also get feedback on if it should be modified to be simplified or whatever. The reason I wrote the book Ten Days to Self-Esteem was because I wanted a super simplified book

version of cognitive therapy and that book is kind of at the fourth or fifth grade level in terms of the language in it and there's just a few paragraphs in each chapter and a lot of interactive exercises to do so we might have to create a you know, like a simplified version of the app that would be suitable for teenagers or people without a lot of education.

At our hospital in Philadelphia, you know, a quarter of our patients couldn't read or write. So we just simplified the 10 secrets of, there were the 10 cognitive distortions and put everything in simple language and it worked great but what are you guys thoughts about that about using the app in prisons or in solitary confinement

Yeah, right. Well, if there was any interest among prisons or prisoners or something, I could talk it up with our app team, but I don't like to chase people with things, especially things that require a lot of time and effort.

But if there was some interest in it, it would be, I think, fairly interesting, even just knowing how depressed and angry and anxious and violent and suicidal people are feeling.
