Summary:
"Today, with rising interest in non-drug approaches, effective and easy-to-implement alternative strategies exist for dealing with depression, either in conjunction with medications or on their own. Therapist Bill O'Hanlon lays out six non-medication strategies for depression. These include "marbling" (training people to intersperse happy memories with sad ones so that over time they move away from a feeling of such negativity); challenging isolation in clients (helping them to see the benefits of the social world); and understanding neuroplasticity and how it can be used to your clients' advantage. Bill O'Hanlon writes from a place of experience. As a youth, he was so severely depressed that he contemplated suicide. His successful rise from that dark place, some 30 years ago, can be seen as the starting point for this book. Many of the strategies he used to overcome his own illness he now puts forward here, with compassion and wisdom, so that other clinicians may benefit. Every depressed person experiences his or her own variety of the illness, and as therapists we need to help our clients discover their own paths to healing. Armed with the compelling, non-drug strategies in this book, clinicians will be able to do just that. Whether you routinely prescribe psychotropic drugs or would never think of doing so, this book may offer just the advice you need to make a real difference in your depressed clients' lives"--Provided by publisher.
