| Summary |
"Addressing myriad issues, the Handbook covers the epidemiology, diagnostic classification, and assessment of depression; Axis I disorders; and the relationship of depression to personality disorders and other medical conditions. Biological processes in depression and genetic research are examined, as are biological/pharmacological treatment and diagnostic methods. With a particular emphasis on psychological treatment approaches, the book provides detailed discussion of cognitive, behavioral, and interpersonal therapies; couple and family therapies; long-term analytic care; and integrative techniques." "Covering a range of special populations and situations, chapters include discussion of depression in children, adolescents, the elderly, and women. Techniques for managing suicidal patients are described, as is coping with depression in a life context. Substantial appendices cite instruments for measuring depression and indicate where they can be obtained." "A definitive resource, Handbook of Depression, Second Edition, is valuable to all mental health professionals - including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, counselors, and nurses - who work with depressed persons and their families. It is also an ideal teaching text for graduate courses."--Jacket |
