Mark Widdowson: Depression
Understanding and Therapy Using Transactional Analysis Techniques
What perpetuates depression and makes it such a common mental health problem? How to work with hopelessness, fear, shame, indecision, non-assertiveness? What are the therapeutic interventions that affect the processes at the very root of depression? How to work with a suicidal depressed client? How to get out of the vicious circle of criticism and self-criticism in depressed people - these are just some of the questions answered by Mark Widdowson, a well-known British transactional analyst (TA) and psychotherapist. He specializes in psychotherapy for depressed clients based on modern scientific knowledge and techniques of transactional analysis, with which he achieves self-acceptance and better feelings in clients. The book is the first published TA therapeutic guide through the psychotherapy of depressed persons, written in an understandable and logical way, which also introduces many years of Widdowson's practice into clinical practice with real cases and a detailed therapeutic protocol. The appendix also includes a short self-help guide for depression that encourages clients to take active steps to initiate positive change and recovery.
