New Releases by David D. Burns

Cinco estudios publicados en revistas cientificas durante la decada de los noventa demostraron que el 70% de los individuos deprimidos que leyeron SENTIRSE BIEN mejoraron, como mucho, en el transcurso de cuatro semanas, sin ningun otro tratamiento adicional. Dicho de otro modo, los efectos antidepresivos logrados con ese libro parecen ser tan potentes como los antidepresivos o la psicoterapia para los pacientes que sufren episodios de depresion mas o menos graves. Ahora, el autor de aquel bestseller insiste en sus lemas favoritos sentirse bien es maravilloso y todo el mundo tiene la obligacion de hacerlo y anade una utilisima guia de antidepresivos, asi como una nueva introduccion, con el fin de que sirvan de ayuda para contestar a cualquier pregunta que pueda ocurrirsele al lector sobre las numerosas opciones disponibles hoy en dia para tratar la depresion. La idea no es, por supuesto, que esas sustancias sustituyan a la terapia defendida por Burns, sino que actuen como complemento en los casos en que resulte necesario. Y, sobre todo, que el lector tenga claro que los antidepresivos nunca son una respuesta definitiva, e incluso que, a veces, ni siquiera son necesarios.

Using this book, readers can pinpoint and overcome the self-defeating attitudes that rob them of happiness, productivity and intimacy.
