Defeating Teenage Depression by Roslyn Law
An accessible guide to combatting depression for teenagers, using Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Adolescents (IPT-A)
The book's main strength has to be its appeal to a wide range of clinical and non-clinical readersIt is topical, clinically sound and empowering. It is engaging and therapeutic - a positive book which guides the reader to reflect on experiences and thought processes and enable them to seek change and shape the thinking process. It is a well-written therapeutic text which could have a positive impact on many. It could empower teachers, clinicians, parents and most importantly the teens themselves to problem solve and understand the depth of emotion and behaviours that shape their mental health. It is also a valuable tool for those who do not present to a GP or teacher but wish for support or help. This book challenges any reader to evaluate thinking patterns and reflect. This is an informative thought-provoking read which every reader will take something positive from. * BMA Medical Book Awards 2017 review - highly commended *
