مسارات العلاج الستّة
المعرفي: الأفكار والأفعال
الاجتماعي: شبكة العلاقات
عادات: أسلوب الحياة اليوميّة
الديني: الروحانيّات والطقوس
الذهني: اليقظة والانتباه للحاضر
الجسدي: الحبوب والكهرباء

لكلّ مسار قصص وتمارين

الكتاب مفيد ودسم وخفيف
لكنّ الترجمة لغير متخصّص
فجاءت غير مناسبة وصعبة

لايكفي الكتاب للمكتئب بشدّة
لكنّه مناسب لعامّة المكتئبين
أو الذين يشعرون بالكآبة

بنى العلاج الروحي
على نظريّة فيكتور فرانكل
في الإنسان يبحث عن معنى

Excellent book. Lots of emphasis on different treatments for depression, not just medication (altho that is covered well too). I thought the case story sections would be annoying but I found that they were interesting to read and it helped me think thru the different worksheets by reading how others filled them out. Very good advice and a book definitely worth owning. My only complaint is that I wish I could find doctors like the authors - where do these mythical, caring, listening creatures exist?? :)

Myślę, że może komuś pomóc w pewnym stopniu. Ma dużo przydatnych ćwiczeń zawartych w sobie.
