The Human Dimension of Depression : A Practical Guide to Diagnosis, Understanding, and Treatment

This book describes the depressive in his or her natural habitat, studies the everyday problems that cause one's depression, and develops treatment approaches directed to the depressive's real world plight. It explores the borderland between the sacred and the profane, the academic and the polular, the scientific but impractical and the practical but unscientific. It relies as much on common sense, anecdote, and individual insight as it does on case histories and psychological test protocol.
