<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Contradicting the widely held belief that depression is a disease best treated with medication or extensive psychotherapy, this unique and multifaceted book shows how to recognize the patterns that contribute to depression, and how to break them.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Twenty to thirty million Americans suffer from some form of diagnosable depression, and their ranks are growing. Psychologist Michael D. Yapko explains that in order to find relief, more than the current episode of depression must be examined. In <i>Breaking the Patterns of Depression, </i> he presents skills that enable readers to understand and ultimately avert depression's recurring cycles. Focusing on future prevention as well as initial treatment, the book includes over one hundred structured activities to help sufferers learn the skills necessary to become and remain depression-free. <p/><i>Breaking the Patterns of Depression</i> begins by translating the clinical literature on psychotherapy and antidepressant medication into language that can be used to enhance an understanding of depression, and to personalize individual cures. Yapko uses a conversational, anecdotal tone that encourages readers to take an active approach to helping themselves. Special sections entitled "Learn by Doing" and "Shifting Perspectives" help develop the skills necessary to manage difficult experiences. Readers learn how to solve problems effectively, anticipate the likely consequences of their actions, think and act in a direct, goal-oriented fashion, balance different areas of their lives, and use self-knowledge to stay out of harmful situations. <p/>More realistic and helpful than other depression-management books on the market, <i>Breaking the Patterns of Depression</i> defines what causes depression and, best of all, clarifies what can be done about it. With this knowledge in hand, readers can control their depression, rather than having depression control them.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"If depression has you in its grip, if your spirits need lifting, if tomorrow holds no promise of a better day, don't waste another minute: there's an antidote to feeling lousy and it's this book, <i>Breaking the Patterns of Depression</i>.

Johnson, Ph.D., director of the Brief Therapy Center, Salt Lake City, Utah, and author of <i>Psychotherapy in the Age of Accountability</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Michael D.
