Synopsis

On the basis of research findings that aim to show a paradigmatic shift in our conceptualization of chronic depression, this volume documents the ongoing transformation of theory and practice - from art to science - in this field. The book reviews what is currently known about the nature and classification of specified chronic depressive sub-types. Implications for the pharmacological treatment for a range of disorders are given, that were believed to be beyond the reach of somatotherapy. The book also considers psychotherapeutic issues and raises numerous questions for future investigations.
