Product Description
Findings from the latest study on treating depression. Neil Jacobson was a leader in developing and testing treatments for depression. At the time of his death in 1999, he, Martell, and Addis had just begun work on this book documenting one of the largest clinical trials for depression. They found that treating depression by helping to activate people is just as effective as helping them to change their thinking.

Straightforward, Research-Based, and Interesting Treatment

I found this book highly readable, practical, and engaging at a theoretical level. I came away learning some new therapeutic techniques, but even more so the book helped me explore a very different way of thinking about depression (or other mental health problems). The authors do a good job contrasting a contextual view of depression with the other major models including biological, cognitive, and interpersonal. This is not your run-of-the mill psychotherapy book. Buy it and you won't be dissapointed!

Strategies for action in the management of depression

Christopher Martell, et.al.'s Depression In Context covers strategies for action in the management of depression. It's one of Neil Jacobson's last contributions to the study of depression and here he works with Martell and Michael Addis in presenting behavioral approaches to treating depression.
