Depression need not significantly distort the lives, relationships, spiritual development, or prosperity of body, mind, and soul. Dealing With Depression puts this common disorder back where it can be seen as just another temporary disturbance in an individual's life. You will learn to recognize the symptoms and types of depression and learn how to help individuals who suffer from depression.
Richard Dayringer introduces many techniques that can be used to manage depression, including coping devices, treatments, and interventions which actually help depressed persons to improve their mental health. This useful guide provides a step-by-step approach to depression intervention and proven techniques you can use to enable people to cope more successfully with depression.
Dealing With Depression also brings together expert psychologists who explore five modalities for conceptualizing and managing depression, which deflates (for clergy and laypeople) the often intimidating quality of the disorder. These experts discuss in practical and understandable ways the helping techniques they use, and they explain their understanding of depression and their methods of treatment so clergy and laity can use them to help ease depression in the lives of others.
