There is also a list of gender-related resources. If there is one failing in this book, it is only that it doesn't go into enough depth and detail with some of the topics. It does draw on the author's own rich experiences in working with these people, though, which easily makes up for it. 200 pages, softcover, large print. Pricing may be found on Amazon.
Depression is a crippling and often misunderstood disorder in today's society.
Since medication isn't right for everyone with this disorder, and not everyone can afford to attend weekly therapy sessions, David Burns has written a book for those people looking to help themselves through this disorder. Beginning with an easy to read and understand overview of the cognitive theory of what causes people to become depressed, it goes on to discuss the multitude of methods and techniques used to help treat depression. You don't have to believe in everything the cognitive theory of depression tells us about this disorder to attain a great deal of benefit from the techniques found throughout the book. Based upon Aaron Beck's cognitive work in researching depression. This book is on my bookshelf for good reason.
