'This volume provides the most comprehensive presentation
to date of the phenomenology, clinical aspects and cognitive
therapy of persistent depression. The text is highly readable,
replete with illustrative case material, and highlighted by concise
summaries at the end of each chapter. The treatment approach,
already validated in the famed Cambridge-Newcastle clinical
trial, is an invaluable contribution.'

Aaron T. Beck, M.D.

Drawing on extensive clinical experience, Richard G. Moore and
Anne Garland present a cognitive model of persistent depression
that places particular importance on the role of thinking styles,
underlying beliefs, subtle forms of avoidance and environmental
factors.

For the practitioner, this book offers guidance on how to
address particular issues that commonly arise at each stage of
therapy, such as:

* the patient is reluctant to engage in therapy

* the patient's negative thinking does not respond to
standard therapeutic techniques

* the patient's negative beliefs have much basis in their
experience

* the therapist becomes demoralised by the apparent lack of
progress in therapy

Through extensive clinical material, Cognitive Therapy for
Chronic and Persistent Depression demonstrates how entrenched
negative thinking patterns and ongoing avoidance can be addressed
to achieve significant change in many people's lives.

This book is essential reading for any therapist working with
these hard to help patients, such as clinical psychologists,
psychiatric nurses, psychiatrists, social workers and
counsellors.
