For those who have experienced childhood sexual abuse and those who love and care for them, The Wounded Heart offers a tender, compassionate window into the psychological effects of abuse and the theological foundations for healing.

Thirty years ago, with great courage and vision, Dan Allender brought Christians to the table to acknowledge, understand, and help victims heal from their experience of the evil of sexual abuse. His work continues to help victims and those who love them to:

• Honestly acknowledge their abuse
• Identify the habits and mindsets that result from trauma, such as shame and poor self-esteem
• Understand the unique challenge of repentance for survivors of abuse
• Learn to love boldly in defiance of their trauma

Ultimately Dan offers the bold, biblical assurance to sexual abuse victims that even they can find their way to joy and hope in the comforting embrace of a good God.

The Wounded Heart has sold over 400,000 copies and has been the first book family, friends, counselors, pastors, and victims have turned to in search of Christian answers to the calamity of sexual abuse. With a new introduction reflecting on the ongoing importance of the book, and a companion workbook for personal and group recovery, The Wounded Heart continues to offer an urgently needed word of grace in a world ravaged by sexual abuse.

One of the major documents of modern European civilization, Robert Burton's astounding compendium, a survey of melancholy in all its myriad forms, has invited nothing but superlatives since its publication in the seventeenth century. Lewellyn Powys called it the greatest work of prose of the greatest period of English prose-writing, while the celebrated surgeon William Osler declared it the greatest of medical treatises. And Dr. Johnson, Boswell reports, said it was the only book that he rose early in the morning to read with pleasure. In this surprisingly compact and elegant new edition, Burton's spectacular verbal labyrinth is sure to delight, instruct, and divert today's readers as much as it has those of the past four centuries.

You Don't Have To Let Depression Overtake Your Life.

The truth is that depression will seriously afflict one in four of us at some point in our lives. And yet, despite its prevalence, we still cling to many misconceptions about depression and its causes. Depression doesn't always mean an overwhelming sense of gloom; it can also be the underlying cause of feelings like these:

• I'm no longer able to sustain my motivation at work.
• I view the past with regret or sorrow.
• I am often pessimistic. I tend to dwell on what might go wrong.
• I'm not sure that people would care if I told them how I feel.

To varying degrees, everyone suffers these kinds of feelings. The good news is that depression can be managed. Discover how to identify depression, understand its causes, come to terms with the past and look forward to the future. This 12-part interactive program by Drs. Frank Minirth and Les Carter will help you bring balance to your emotions as you peel back the layers of any situation and develop keys to lasting change.

In Depression: A Public Feeling, Ann Cvetkovich combines memoir and critical essay in search of ways of writing about depression as a cultural and political phenomenon that offer alternatives to medical models. She describes her own experience of the professional pressures, creative anxiety, and political hopelessness that led to intellectual blockage while she was finishing her dissertation and writing her first book. Building on the insights of the memoir, in the critical essay she considers the idea that feeling bad constitutes the lived experience of neoliberal capitalism.

Cvetkovich draws on an unusual archive, including accounts of early Christian acedia and spiritual despair, texts connecting the histories of slavery and colonialism with their violent present-day legacies, and utopian spaces created from lesbian feminist practices of crafting. She herself seeks to craft a queer cultural analysis that accounts for depression as a historical category, a felt experience, and a point of entry into discussions about theory, contemporary culture, and everyday life. Depression: A Public Feeling suggests that utopian visions can reside in daily habits and practices, such as writing and yoga, and it highlights the centrality of somatic and felt experience to political activism and social transformation.

If you've always wanted completely overcome your anxiety but you find you can never make any real progress, then keep reading...

Are you sick and tired of being crippled with anxiety?

Have you tried endless other solutions but nothing seems to work for more than a few weeks?

Do you finally want to say goodbye to the idea of managing your anxiety and finally discover something which works for you?

If so, then you've come to the right place.

You see, overcoming your anxiety doesn't have to be difficult.

Even if you've tried everything from meditation to medication, using the most effective, scientifically-proven methods can make it easier than you think to live a life free from anxiety.

A paper in the Canadian Journal of Psychiatry that looked at hundreds of scientific studies published between 1980 and 2004 demonstrated that anxiety has been on the rise in the US & UK, with no sign of stopping any time soon.

The conclusion is something we all know to be true:

The current methods for treating anxiety just don't work.

Anxiety require a different strategy, a counterintuitive one. Left uncontrolled, anxiety can escalate as our amygdala (the anxiety center of our brain) becomes hyperactive and finds more and more to worry about.

This book will uncover the science-based and counterintuitive techniques that are designed to end unwanted anxiety.

They have been tried and tested both by the author Ed Jones (who suffered from agoraphobia and panic attacks for over 10 years) and the hundreds of people who suffered from anxiety he has helped ever since.

Which means you can end your anxiety without the struggle.

Here's just a tiny fraction of what you'll discover:

• The 4 things you should know about anxiety
• Why doing taking advice from those who love you is hurting your progress - and what to do instead
• How to end anxiety without months of hard work
• 5 harmful myths doctors tell you about your anxiety
• How to instantly end a panic attack with just one simple practice
• The biggest mistake people make in overcoming their anxieties

...and much, much more

Take a second to imagine how you'll feel once you're free from anxiety, and how your family and friends will react when you're able to face your fears and build a better life for yourself

So even if you're homebound, helpless and crippled with anxiety, you can end your anxiety with the tools in this book.

Depression is a havoc-wreaking illness that masquerades as personal failing and hijacks your life. After a major suicide attempt in her early twenties, Anna Mehler Paperny resolved to put her reporter's skills to use to get to know her enemy, setting off on a journey to understand her condition, the dizzying array of medical treatments on offer, and a medical profession in search of answers. Charting the way depression wrecks so many lives, she maps competing schools of therapy, pharmacology, cutting-edge medicine, the pill-popping pitfalls of long-term treatment, the glaring unknowns and the institutional shortcomings that both patients and practitioners are up against. She interviews leading medical experts across the US and Canada, from psychiatrists to neurologists, brain-mapping pioneers to family practitioners, and others dabbling in strange hypotheses--and shares compassionate conversations with fellow sufferers.

Hello I Want to Die Please Fix Me tracks Anna's quest for knowledge and her desire to get well. Impeccably reported, it is a profoundly compelling story about the human spirit and the myriad ways we treat (and fail to treat) the disease that accounts for more years swallowed up by disability than any other in the world.

Worldwide, depression will be the single biggest cause of disability in the next twenty years. But treatment for it has not changed much in the last three decades. In the world of psychiatry, time has apparently stood still...until now with Edward Bullmore's The Inflamed Mind: A Radical New Approach to Depression.

A Sunday Times (London) Top Ten Bestseller

In this game-changing book, University of Cambridge professor of psychiatry Edward Bullmore reveals the breakthrough new science on the link between depression and inflammation of the body and brain. He explains how and why we now know that mental disorders can have their root cause in the immune system, and outlines a future revolution in which treatments could be specifically targeted to break the vicious cycles of stress, inflammation, and depression.

The Inflamed Mind goes far beyond the clinic and the lab, representing a whole new way of looking at how mind, brain, and body all work together in a sometimes misguided effort to help us survive in a hostile world. It offers insights into how we could start getting to grips with depression and other mental disorders much more effectively in the future.

Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT) is the only empirically supported family therapy model designed to treat adolescent depression. This book describes clinical strategies for therapists, as well as the theoretical basis of the approach and the evidence base that supports it.

ABFT emerges from interpersonal theories that suggest adolescent depression and suicide can be precipitated, exacerbated, or buffered against by the quality of interpersonal relationships in families. ABFT aims to repair interpersonal ruptures and rebuild an emotionally protective, secure-based, parent-child relationship. The treatment initially focuses on repairing or strengthening attachment and then turns to promoting adolescent autonomy.

In particular, the authors delineate five treatment phases, or tasks, which each have distinct goals and strategies. Thus, while the model is trauma-focused and process-oriented, it includes a structure and a clear roadmap for facilitating the reparative process. The chapters blend empirical research with clinical guidance, illustrative vignettes, and a case study.

With its unique emphasis on the depressed adolescent's need for attachment and autonomy, this book will show family therapists how to create in-session, corrective attachment experiences where adolescents seek -- and parents provide -- love and support.

Reflecting major contemporary developments in theory and clinical practice, the second edition of this authoritative guide has been significantly rewritten with 85% new material. Cognitive therapy (CT) pioneer Aaron T. Beck and associates provide cutting-edge knowledge about the cognitive model of depression and the most effective, lasting ways to reduce clients' suffering. The volume links clearly explained theoretical principles to specific therapeutic strategies. Techniques for identifying, examining, and changing the thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that give rise to depression and related disorders are illustrated with compelling vignettes and sample dialogues.

New to This Edition
*Reflects the maturation of CT for treating more complicated presentations, including patients with chronic depression or underlying personality disorders.
*Brings therapists up to date on schema-focused approaches as well as classic cognitive and behavioral interventions.
*Incorporates data from basic research and many dozens of clinical trials.
*All-new vignettes and a chapter-length case example.
*Greater attention to the therapeutic relationship and to longer-term treatment.

This book offers integrative treatments for clinical depression based on the biopsychosocial model.

Keith Dobson synthesizes decades of research and professional experience in this comprehensive guide that follows the therapy process from beginning to end. He starts with a theoretical overview of depression, including its associated features, risk and resiliency factors, and offers a comparative evaluation of various models of depression.

Clinical chapters review the intake process, from the initial interview, to formulating an early case conceptualization and ensuring the client's involvement. Dobson then presents an organizational model to determine which issues to focus on in therapy, and the optimal interventions to address them. He also describes common strategies to target problematic behaviors and cognitions, develop problem-solving skills, and modify maladaptive thoughts and schemas. Guidelines for ending therapy and preventing relapse are also provided, as are considerations related to comorbid disorders, clients' relationships with significant others, and in-person vs. distance treatment.

Recurring case examples with two hypothetical clients help to demonstrate the entire process for assessing, conceptualizing, and treating clinical depression.
