"With contributions from leading experts, this comprehensive work is widely regarded as the standard reference on depression and mood disorders. Thoroughly revised and updated, the second edition incorporates significant advances in research and clinical practice. A number of new topics have been added, including new chapters on treatments for bipolar disorder, depression and health, depression in couples and families, and the impact of parental depression on children." "Timely and authoritative, this volume belongs on the shelves of clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and others who study or treat unipolar or bipolar depression. It is an ideal text for graduate-level courses in affective disorders."--BOOK JACKET.
