Description
Summary:What causes depression? There are so many competing -- and contradictory -- theories that a thorough critique of the existing conceptual frameworks is required before psychologists can diagnose and treat depression effectively. Rethinking Depression is a meticulous critique and re-examination of the various contrasting hypotheses surrounding depression which not only clears much of the theoretical deadwood from the field, but also clarifies current models of how depression should be diagnosed and treated.
