Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Mood disorderscrippling sieges of depression or uncontrollable maniaafflict members of one in five families, but recent advances in psychiatric and medical evaluation and treatment may substantially reduce that statistic in the near future. In this exploration of the nature and course of depression, Demitri Papolos of New York's Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Janice Papolos, author of The Performing Artist's Handbook, describe an ideal approach, contrasting it with the actual treatment most patients receive. Included are evaluations of medication therapy, of electro-convulsive treatment and the recent application of research findings to patients and families in counseling. A wealth of informationmodel treatments, resources for coping with the social implications of affective disorders, etc.is made accessible to the layperson in a concise, clear format. Prevention Book Club and Psychotherapy and Social Science Book Club alternates.
