Description
This text, written by a psychiatrist, aims to help non-medical psychotherapists understand and treat the chronically depressed patient, as well as those with other mood disorders. Dr Badal describes contemporary ways of diagnosing these hard-to-treat patients, their typical resistances and how to tailor treatments, designed especially for their chronic issues. The psychotherapeutic issues underlying the difficulty these patients have in responding sufficiently to medication are demonstrated with clinical examples.
