Beating the Blues

The techniques described in this book have been developed and refined over many years of clinical practice. They are specifically designed and selected such that they can be applied by the individual with little or no help from other people. Using real-life examples and case histories, Beating the Blues deals with depression, its causes and solutions in three clear sections: personality, personal responsibility and personal power; specific techniques for dealing with depression and a variety of emotions and situations that can lead to or result from depression; and creating a future without depression and in line with your own values and goals. Beating the Blues is a practical guide for people, working on their own or with the help of a friend, who want to recognize and deal with depression without resorting to professional help or drug treatments.
