5.0 out of 5 stars A very good book., December 28, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Unfinished Business (Mass Market Paperback)

This book was responsible for my seeking treatment for depression over 20 years ago. I happened to pick it up thinking it applied to my wife and recognized the symptoms of depression in myself instead. I was supprised to find it still in print after 20 years which I would think is pretty good evidence of it's value. As the title suggests, this book is aimed at women but the points she makes apply to men as well. It is well grounded in legitmate psychololgy though it may be somewhat dated now. Certainly the anti-depressants mentioned are no longer widely used if at all. Still it is a valuable book well worth reading. It isn't do-it-yourself therapy but it may help some people understand when to look for help.

This review is from: Unfinished Business: Pressure Points in the Lives of Women (Paperback)

I read this book at a point in my life when I really needed it. It helped me to get through a rough patch and realize that others had a problem similar to mine. This is not a run-of-the-meal self-help book, but a scholarly treatise written for both lay persons and mental health professionals.
