Book Description
This breakthrough workbook shows readers who suffer from depression and manic depression how to identify their personal symptom profile and create a customized self-help intervention program. The book examines the multiple causes and symptoms of depression and allows readers to devise their own depression map, a personalized treatment program that combines the most effective methods available today. Included are guidelines and exercises for analyzing outside help, enhancing lifestyle, assessing biochemical and physical approaches, controlling thoughts and emotions and managing stress. Paterson also includes a chapter on gaining the motivation necessary to set reasonable goals and get better. Paterson's depression-mapping program has proven so successful that it has been taught to 200 agencies all over the world. Because it focuses on the individual's personality and lifestyle, recovery rates are high and recidivism is dramatically reduced.

"best book on depression",
By A Customer
This review is from: Your Depression Map: Charting Your Own Course Back to Health (Paperback)
This is the first book on Depression, written for the lay public, that reflects the complexity of Depression. I have both treated Depression as a Psychologist for over 20 years, and been treated for it. In both situations, I have tried to read everything available, for the public and for professionals, and this is the best book I have seen.Every person who has struggled with Depression will find information in this book that will help them. I am recommending it to all my clients and colleagues, and also am using from it for an undergraduate psychology course I teach on "Anxiety, Depression and Resililence". Thank you Dr. Paterson for integratng and pulling together all this information in such a clear way, and for not cutting any corners. Many lives will be affected in positive ways as a consequence of your writing this book.

This review is from: Your Depression Map: Charting Your Own Course Back to Health (Paperback)
Randy J. Paterson, PhD has spent years treating depression. The results of everything he has learned through both education and experience are distilled into "Your Depression Map". The author points out that there are many, many different causes of depression and many, many different types of depression. Each of these different kinds of depression requires a solution that is designed to relieve that particular type. Based on this idea, he leads the reader through an understanding of the different types, how to determine the type that you have, and a pathway to recovery. He deals effectively with myths about depression, building your personal recovery plan, and a discussion of the journey to recovery and what you should expect. Even issues of how to deal with depression in real life are covered. For example he deftly covers the kind of professionals that you may need to seek help from, medication, living with emotions, building and maintaining a social network, and preventing future difficulties. If you are dealing with depression or know someone who is fighting that battle, this is an excellent book and a highly recommended purchase.

A superb resource and self-help book,
By Jeffrey Fisher, M.A., RCC (Vancouver, BC Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Your Depression Map: Charting Your Own Course Back to Health (Paperback)
Your Depression Map is a superb resource for individuals suffering from depression and the health care professionals who endeavor to assist them. Dr. Paterson has clearly shown that he has a passion for helping people to help themselves as the book is filled to the brim with information, tools, and insights that readers can put to use to assist themselves or others with this problem that is so pervasive in our society. As a counselling professional I have read many other books on depression and its treatment. Never have I found a book on depression that is so complete and accessible as this one.
