Problem-solving Therapy for Depression : Theory, Research and Clinical Guidelines

Depression is one of the most prevalent mental health problems.

This manual for the diagnosis and treatment of depression is based on a new, integrated view of the nature, course and treatment of depression.

The authors present a theoretical problem-solving model, which unifies the strengths of cognitive-behavorial therapies, all supported by an overview of relevant research.

They then provide a step-by-step practical guide to conducting problem-solving therapy for depressed patients.

The clinical guidelines and case study examples are stimulating, and set this book apart from those simply describing research findings.
