Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression is a terrific resource for anyone suffering with depression and for therapists working to help them. Dr. Monique Thompson presents the principles and skills of cognitive behavior therapy clearly and compassionately. I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone! --Michael A. Tompkins, PhD, Co-Director of the San Francisco Bay Area Center for Cognitive Therapy and Author of Anxiety and Avoidance: A Universal Treatment for Anxiety, Panic, and Fear We find ourselves in complex and challenging times that can, for many, provoke an episode of depression. Fortunately, Monique Thompson's Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression has arrived as a practical, accessible, and science-based guide to understanding and conquering depression. It is full of real-life examples of the thoughts, feelings, and actions that combine to produce depression as well as essential strategies for taking action against these forces. Readers will be able to apply the lessons and strategies to their own lives, thanks to the clarity and compassion in Thompson's prose. Whether used as a stand-alone guide or as a complement to therapy, this book is bound to help scores of people who deal with the all-too-common experience of depression. --Ann M. Kring, Ph.D., Professor, Department of Psychology, University of California, Berkeley For those dealing with depression, personally or professionally, this is THE book to read!

Presti, Professor of Neurobiology, University of California, Berkeley and Author of Foundational Concepts in Neuroscience: A Brain-Mind Odyssey

Presti, Professor of Neurobiology, University of California, Berkeley and Author of Foundational Concepts in Neuroscience: A Brain-Mind Odyssey This book offers, in a deceptively small package, a large collection of strategies the reader can act on now to overcome pessimism, hopelessness, guilt, and lethargy in order to dig out of the black pit of depression and despair. The author's wise advice is based on both her personal experience of depression and her professional experience doing research on depression and providing treatment for it. Dr. Thompson's writing is clear and direct, and she speaks with a warm and compassionate voice that is simultaneously solidly grounded in the latest science. --Jacqueline B. Persons, Ph.D., Director, Oakland Cognitive Behavior Therapy Center, and Clinical Professor, Department of Psychology, University of California, Berkeley
