Doctors and medication can only treat the symptoms of depression - the primary source for healing has to come from within. Yet how do we find the energy to help ourselves when depression saps so much of our vitality and will? For over 40 years, Dr. James S. Gordon has helped thousands of people to engage rather than withdraw from their feelings and their lives, and to realize that the path through depression is a liberating, spiritual journey. In Freedom from Depression, he draws on material from his own life, his research, and the training he and his colleagues have provided to more than 3,500 professionals and community leaders in Kosovo, Gaza, Israel, Haiti, post-9/11 New York City, and post-Katrina New Orleans - offering practical tools for restoring joy and balance to our lives. |
