Defeating Depression: How to use the people in your life to open the door to recovery

Roslyn Law

This ground-breaking self-help book is based on Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), a therapeutic approach adopted by the NHS. IPT focuses on the interactions between people to identify and improve how they are feeling and behaving in their relationships. By improving relationships where there may be tension, either exacerbated by depression, or perhaps even causing it, we can alleviate the symptoms and address the underlying causes of depression. This guide uses practical exercises and techniques with personal stories from people living with depression.
