Table of ContentsReviewsThe first edition of Beck's Depression: Causes and Treatments was published over 40 years ago with the goal of addressing firmly established aspects of the nature, causes, and treatment of depression. Significantly, the first edition included Beck's outline of cognitive therapy, a treatment whose impact in the intervening decades has been profound. The second edition has much the same goal as the first: it provides updates on previously reviewed topics; introduces aspects of the study of depression that have become relevant more recently; and provides an historical perspective on depression research. The book is well organized and well written, and manages to be both informative and satisfying for the reader... A recommended read. -Psychological Medicine The second edition of Depression: Causes and Treatment should appeal to clinicians interested in the symptom presentation of affective disorders, the cognitive model, and various treatment considerations as well as to researchers interested in the biological underpinnings of depression as well as research contributions and limitations... The second edition will assume the position of the first edition as one of the most authoritative texts on the topic. -PsycCRITIQUES ""The first edition of Beck's Depression: Causes and Treatments was published over 40 years ago with the goal of addressing firmly established aspects of the nature, causes, and treatment of depression. . . .
