"As this direct and deceptively simple book makes clear, nobody need any longer be condemned to remain in a state of depression. It's possible to learn to break out of this awful state of mind - and learning really is the key word, because once learned this knowledge becomes our own possession. Then we can be confident that even if we have a temporary relapse we don't have to stay there, but can use this knowledge to break out from depressed feelings once again. The ways to do this are laid out clearly in Chris Scott's book." Pat Williams Writer, therapist and Senior Tutor for the European Therapy Studies Institute.
