Active Treatment of Depression by Richard O'connor
O'Connor, a therapist who suffers from depression, shows that depressed people have trouble digging themselves out of one episode or warding off the next because they have become adept at the "skills of depression," such as denying, procrastinating, and intellectualizing. Actively playing mentor, coach, cheerleader, and nurturer, therapists can engage patients' emotions, mitigate the effects of shame, and help them see connections between what happens in their lives and how they feel inside.
"O'Connor vividly portrays the interpersonal and intrapsychic struggles and skills prototypic of depressed persons in an easily readable exposition" -- Thomas E. Joiner and Jeremy W. Pettit
Richard O'Connor, who lives in Lakeville, Connecticut, also wrote Undoing Depression.
