Media Reviews
Gordon Parker has style. The second edition of Dealing with Depressionprovides an outstandingly accessible account of how he sees the theory and practice of treating depression. While it is clearly written originally for the non-professional, the story is told from the cutting edge of research and treatment. It exemplifies the modern unifying approach to psychiatry a synthesis of reliable knowledge and clinical judgment. It is a book both to read and to recommend to one's patients and their families.
