Drawing on vast clinical experience and original research, Dr. Beardslee shows for the first time how the principles of prevention can be effectively applied to families in which a parent is depressed. He offers specific, practical guidelines for parents, caretakers and children as he outlines a step-by-step approach that will enable families to escape the reality of depression's effects on their lives and, from there, to nurture the resilience and bonds that will make them strong.

Industry Reviews

"Dr. Beardslee's strategy in which all family members touched by depression are brought together to 'break the silence' is simple but full of wisdom. It is the psychiatric version of the old family doctor house call. One cannot help but be uplifted by these stories of struggle and recovery."
