Undoing Depression 
asked by fusionz on November 10, 2006 6:09 PM
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.

Perhaps if this is the first book you pick up on the subject, you will find it helpful. I had been through many prior to reading this one and didn't learn anything new, nor did I feel it was necessary to keep on hand for future reference. I ended up donating it to my local library in the hopes someone else will benefit.
As an earlier reviewer stated, you cannot underestimate the effectiveness of one-on-one therapy. This in conjunction with books a trusted therapist recommends would probably be most helpful. Much luck in your search for relief and happiness! :o)

I have referred all of my depresssed cleints to this book. It is a broad-based approach to contending with depression, and is eminantly usable. O'Conner takes a commen sense approach to a debilitating process, and in doing so, exhibits uncommon intelligence in offering a wide variety of approaches to dealing with depression, which is notoriously difficult to treat and requires a multi-headed approach for best results. No one school is best, and clients benefit from a multitude of suggestions founds in this book.
