Product Description
This volume demonstrates how learned helplessness develops and operates, and how it can lead to depression, anxiety, childhood failures, lack of motivation, and in extreme cases, sudden death. This is no "cure yourself" guide, but the theory Dr. Seligman presents does should offer hope, suggesting that depressed adults and children can "unlearn" helplessness and regain control of their environments. It offers important information for those who suffer from depression, their families, and anyone interested in one of the most pervasive of all psychological disturbances.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good reading for a Psychologist or Clergyman, October 15, 2000
By A Customer
Just for the readers information I am a Ministry and Theology freshman major in college. I choose this book to do a review on; and I gave the book the typical stereotype of being just another boring book about Psychology, but I was proven wrong. Martin E. P. Seligman uses many examples and explains what he writes for those of us who don't have a large vocabulary. If you need a book that explains the facts and opinions about helplessness, then Helplessness by Martin E. P. Seligman is the book for you.
