Handbook of Depression, First Edition Reviews

Few topics in psychopathology and intervention demonstrate the importance of linking science and application better than depression. Clinical observations and insights have given rise to theory-driven experimental study of the cognitive and affective bases of the mood disorders and their amelioration. In turn, basic psychological and neuroscientific research in cognition and emotion feed back into a more sophisticated and powerful understanding of these disorders and how best to prevent and treat them. In this skilfully edited volume, some of the most highly respected researchers in the field provide the reader with a comprehensive review and critical analysis of basic and applied research and theory in depression. An important and welcome contribution. - Gerald C. Davison, University of Southern California, USA

It is a remarkable achievement to provide such an in-depth synthesis of current knowledge about depression in such a truly reader-friendly and usable form. This handbook provides a readable and concise overview of many of the key domains of investigation into this devastating condition ... Providing coverage that is balanced and evidence-based, this is a highly valuable sourcebook for practitioners and researchers and a truly informative text for graduate students, interns, and residents. - A. John Rush, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, USA

An impressive array of distinguished researchers has come together once more to update this comprehensive text on the perplexing human problem of depression. The volume presents detailed information on the human costs of depression as well as its multiple etiologies, recalcitrant nature, differing presentation across ages and cultures, and, of course, the psychosocial and pharmacological avenues for treating it. The second edition provides good depth of content on current neuroscience and genetics, without neglecting the importance of stress and the interpersonal and social context. Not only does this handbook capture the explosion of knowledge and increasing sophistication of research in the field, but it also focuses attention on what still needs to be done to understand and serve the unmet needs of people with depression in our communities. - Kia J. Bentley, LCSW, Director, PhD Program in Social Work, Virginia Commonwealth University, USA

Identifying, organizing, and expanding on the cutting-edge studies that define the field, Gotlib and Hammen once again demonstrate the breadth and depth of their knowledge of depression. This thorough and readable handbook allows both beginning and advanced practitioners and researchers to understand what is known about depression and see what is yet to be discovered. Given its attention to all aspects of depression across cultures and the lifespan, this is an ideal text for a seminar on mood disorders. - Robin B. Jarrett, Elizabeth H. Penn Professor of Clinical Psychology, Department of Psychiatry, The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, USA
