From Depression to Happiness
Psychiatry has developed a number of tools to help manage symptoms of mental disorders, broadly categorized as psychotherapy, or \"talk therapy\", and psychopharmacology, or \"medications\". One question left open in this regard, though, is what to do after those symptoms are controlled? How can those with depression be helped to build a better life after the remission of symptoms? Weaving together Positive Psychology and Aristotelian philosophy, this book details an approach to creating a path towards a flourishing life. Building on the two translations of the Greek term \"Arete\", virtue and excellence, it links Aristotle's ideas to those of Martin Seligman, the founder of Positive Psychology, and Howard Gardner, a proponent of the Multiple Intelligences Theory.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Christians with Depression
Does religion belong in psychotherapy?
For anyone in the helping profession, whether as mental health professional or religious leader, this question is bound to arise. Many mental health professionals feel uncomfortable discussing religion. In contrast, many religious leaders feel uncomfortable referring their congregants to professionals who do not know their faith or intent to engage with it.
And yet Michelle Pearce, PhD, assistant professor and clinical psychologist at the Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Maryland, argues that if religion is essential to a client, religion will be a part of psychotherapy, whether it is discussed or not. Clients cannot check their values at the door more than the professionals who treat them.
To Pearce, the question isn't really, \"does religion belong?\" but rather, \"how can mental health professionals help their religious clients engage with and use their faith as a healing resource in psychotherapy?\"
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Christian Clientswith Depression is the answer to that question, as the book's purpose is to educate mental health professionals and pastoral counselors about religion's role in therapy, as well as equip them to discuss religious issues and use evidence-based, religiously-integrated tools with Christian clients experiencing depression.
In this book, readers will find the following resources in an easy-to-use format:
* An overview of the scientific benefits of integrating clients' religious beliefs and practices in psychotherapy
* An organizing therapeutic approach for doing Christian CBT
* Seven tools specific to Christian CBT to treat depression
* Suggested dialogue for therapists to introduce concepts and tools
* Skill-building activity worksheets for clients
* Clinical examples of Christian CBT and the seven tools in action
Practitioners will learn the helpful (and sometimes not so beneficial) role a person's Christian faith can play in psychotherapy. They will be equipped to discuss religious issues and use religiously-integrated tools in their work. At the same time, clergy will learn how Christianity can be integrated into an evidence-based secular mental health treatment for depression, which is sure to increase their comfort level for making referrals to mental health practitioners who provide this form of treatment.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Christian Clients with Depression is a practical guide for mental health professionals and pastoral counselors who want to learn how to use Christian-specific CBT tools to treat depression in their Christian clients.

Dealing With Depression brings together expert psychologists who explore five modalities for conceptualizing and managing depression, which deflates for clergy the often intimidating quality of the disorder.

A medical-religious case conference with these experts shows how clergy and laity can help ease depression and an extensive bibliography is included to facilitate further reference.
Dealing With Depression puts this common disorder back into the human life situation where it can be seen as just another temporary disturbance to which human beings are vulnerable, but which need not significantly distort their lives, relationships, spiritual development, or prosperity of body, mind, and soul.
