Undoing Depression

Little Brown/Hachette

Written by a therapist who has battled depression since he was a teenager, this popular, practical handbook is focused on maintaining a preventive outlook and breaking depressive cycles. It draws on the latest research in neuroscience and integrates helpful techniques of different therapeutic approaches: cognitive, behavioral, and psychodynamic. William Styron says, “Undoing Depression is distinguished by its common sense, its humanity, and its absence of dogmatism. It is a balanced and persuasive work that explores the dark predicament of depression, and the pathways toward help, with fresh insight.”
