Treatment of Psychosocial Risk Factors in Depression

Clinical depression is a leading cause of mental ill health worldwide, and the book notes that many of its risk factors can be changed, which makes them useful treatment targets. This APA book examines a range of well-established risk factors and links each to specific, evidence-based treatment.

Unlike books built around one school of therapy, this one begins with the client's underlying vulnerability and then turns to the treatment that addresses it. In each chapter a leading authority reviews the research on one risk factor, discusses what follows for treatment, and presents a case example showing how a therapist can use the techniques.
