Introduction & Theoretical Background
Depression is the most common mental health population in the general population (Kessler et al., 1994). It is estimated that around 11% of individuals will experience depression at some point in their lifetime (Lim et al., 2018). Symptoms include feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness, or guilt; loss of interest in activities; reduced energy; changes in sleep or appetite; and thoughts of suicide or death. Overcoming Depression is a comprehensive program which assists clinicians in delivering effective CBT for depression. The program includes two books:
- Overcoming Depression – A Cognitive Therapy Approach: Therapist Guide details the step-by-step cognitive therapy treatment of depression.
- Overcoming Depression – A Cognitive Therapy Approach: Workbook is the companion to this therapist guide. It will help your patients to become active participants in their treatment and learn how to address the thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and life events that affect their mood.
