Linda is Dead: What's to be Done about Bob's Depression?

Five years ago, Bob's wife, Linda, lost her life in an automobile crash, leaving her husband a single parent with two children he hardly knew. Because of his busy ambition as an architect in a prestigious firm, he did not spend nearly as much time with his family as he should have--a realization that has caused him much guilt. Today, he still struggles to move past his daily battle with major depression. Even with a good therapist, his progress has been sporadic at best.

Framed in the context of a discussion of psychopathology, Dann Hazel, Ph.D., explores Bob's treatment options while disclosing some of the controversies surrounding them. His analysis of treatment models not only provides a solid overview of therapy possibilities for individuals looking for the right therapist, but also gives the student of psychology an introduction to the field of psychopathology.
