Written by two clinical psychologists with nearly a century of
combined experience, this book explains how people who suffer from
depression, anxiety, or undue anger can overcome these difficulties
by allowing the normal process of grieving to occur. Sadness is
generally characterized as a negative emotion, yet experiencing
sadness plays a positive and key role in achieving and maintaining
mental health and in avoiding anxiety, depression, and anger.
Indeed, sadness can be understood as a normal and necessary feeling
that always occurs when one loses something that is loved. The
Positive Power of Sadness examines the experience of sadness,
taking into account the personal, relational, and neurological
factors of sadness; explains the cultural reasons that many resist
feeling sad and consequently displace sadness into secondary
processes; and provides a practical and systematic way to overcome
anger, anxiety, and depression by allowing the normal process of
being sad to occur. This simple paradigm of love and loss causing
joy and sorrow in tandem is founded on solid research, carefully
considered theory, and extensive experience and will serve to
stimulate further thought and writing. Professional therapists,
psychologists, counselors, teachers, and clergy who work with
people in various settings will find this enlightening reading, as
will general readers seeking self-help or possessing an interest in
psychological functioning or relational difficulties. Provides a
solid foundation for understanding anger, anxiety, and depression
as well as a practical and solid approach for overcoming these
difficulties Examines the neurological factors associated with
feelings, particularly sadness, and identifies the relational
complications that arise when one experiences sadness Describes the
cultural and personal resistance to the experience of sadness that
often compels people to keep their sadness "bottled up" Explains
how anger, anxiety, and depression can be prevented by accepting
and experiencing sadness
