Review:
There is a wealth of information here. Practical. Accessible. A workbook that is authoritative and current. Stone assists the reader to see depression as a spiritual crisis, as well as a psychological one. --Harold G. Koenig, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, Duke University Medical Center
Defeating Depression not only provides a vocabulary for our most intense emotions and feelings associated with depression, it deciphers the often mysterious return to vitality. The work has quickly become my most effective tool in helping the depressed, their loved ones and education pastoral caregivers. --W. Kyle Fauntleroy, Naval Chaplains School
Right from the beginning of the first page one senses a presence of empowerment and hope for the reader and the gentle yet firm nudge of a voice that beckons, Let s get going . --Douglas M. Ronsheim¸ Executive Director, American Association of Pastoral Counselors
