Reviews

Perhaps surprisingly, given the topic, this is a really good read - accessible, informative and full of personal accounts as well as its more professional content. Practical but with a light touch, it combines humorous anecdotes and well-known quotes about growing old with what you need to know to diagnose and differentiate between the different types of depression - melancholic and non-melancholic - as they affect older people. ... I would recommend this book as very useful background reading for all counsellors. I learned much from it and will be returning to it for reference many time, I am sure. - Sarah Lewis, Therapy Today, March 2013
