(More customer reviews)This new and revised treatment manual sets a high mark for presenting
therapy in a clear and accessible manner. It contains the fundamentals
of treatment for the depressed individual in a readable and
user-friendly format. The concept of the depression BEAST (Body,
Emotion, Action, Situations, and Thoughts) allows for an easy
conceptualization of the components of mood, and at the same time is
whimsical and intriguing. It strikes just the right balance, and I
believe it is a refined contribution to the psychotherapist's toolkit
for providing empirically supported treatment that helps people improve
their mood and function better in their lives. (from Overcoming Depression Therapist Manual publication)----Aaron T.
