Undoing Depression

For some people, depression has been a part of their experience for so long that they've begun to believe it's what they are. They become experts at 'doing' depression - hiding it, working around it, even achieving great things (but at the price of great struggle, and little satisfaction). In this book, psychotherapist Richard O'Conner shows us how to 'undo' depression, by replacing depressive patterns of thinking, relating, and behaving with a new and more effective set of skills. With a truly holistic approach that synthesizes the best of the many schools of thought about this painful disease, O'Conner offers new hope - and new life--for depressives.
