More than forty years ago, Dr. Aaron T. Beck's pioneering
"Depression: Causes and Treatment" presented the first
comprehensive account of all aspects of depression and introduced
cognitive therapy to health care providers and patients struggling
with one of the most common and devastating diseases of the modern
age. Since that classic text first appeared, the appreciation of
the multifaceted nature of mood disorders has grown, and the
phenomenological and biological aspects of psychology are
increasingly seen as intertwined. Taking these developments into
account, Beck and his colleague Brad A. Alford have written a
second edition of "Depression" that will help patients and
caregivers understand depression as a cognitive disorder.The new
edition of "Depression" builds on the original research and
approach of the seminal first edition, including the tests of
Freud's theory that led to a new system of psychological theory and
therapy, one that addresses the negative schema and automatic
thoughts that can trap people in painful emotional states. Beck and
Alford examine selected scientific tests and randomized controlled
trials that have enhanced the cognitive approach since the time it
was first introduced.Incorporating accepted changes in the
definitions and categories of the various mood disorders into its
discussion, "Depression" addresses the treatment role of
revolutionary drugs, such as the selective serotonin reuptake
inhibitors (SSRIs), electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), and
transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in relation to cognitive
approaches. Beck and Alford explore research on neurotrophic and
neurogenesis theories of depression. They also report on advances
in psychosocial treatment of depression, including the value of
cognitive therapy in the prevention of relapse.
