This volume comprehensively compares and contrasts alternative models of and treatment approaches to clinical depression. Each contributor, a recognized expert in their modality, analyzes the same case and provides: an overview of the treatment model; empirical evidence for both the model and treatment derived from it; and treatment strategies and interventions, including termination issues, relapse prevention, and recommendations for follow-up care. Among the 12 approaches presented are Object Relations, Cognitive Therapies, Schema-Focused, Couple and Family, Integrative Psychotherapy, as well as Psychopharmacology. A significant contribution to this volume is the chapter on cultural considerations for understanding, assessing and treating depression.
