Problem-Solving Therapy for Depression: Theory, Research, and Clinical Guidelines

by Arthur M. Nezu, Christine Maguth Nezu, Michael G. Perri

A manual for the diagnosis and treatment of depression--based on a new, integrated view of the nature, course, and treatment of depression. Depression is one of the most prevalent mental health problems. The authors present a theoretical problem-solving model, which unifies the strengths of cognitive-behavioral therapies, all supported by an overview of relevant research. They then provide a step-by-step practical guide to conducting problem-solving therapy for depressed patients. The clinical guidelines and case study examples are stimulating, and set this book apart from those simply describing research findings.
