Essential reading for anyone wishing to "Break the Bonds",
By
This review is from: Breaking the Bonds: Understanding Depression, Finding Freedom (Paperback)
Dorothy Rowe's Breaking the Bonds is absolutely essential reading for any sufferer or a supporter of a sufferer of depression. As a sufferer of depression an expert told me "buy the book,you are on every page." He was right,I was. The book tells of others fighting with the illness,recognising symptoms and overcoming them. It gives sufferers or supporters the insight that has been previously lacking in any other book on the subject. To conclude,anyone who seriously wants to overcome the illness will find the answers on these pages. I did.

Great book spoiled by shoddy printing,

This review is from: Breaking the Bonds: Understanding Depression, Finding Freedom (Paperback)
This is one of Dorothy Rowe's older texts - still an excellent source of calm wisdom, but completely ruined by the meanness of the Harper Perrenial reprint from what looks like old substandard typeface. If you don't mind reading a book that looks as if it has been printed on blotting paper fine, but if this irritates you as much as it does me I suggest that you look for a second hand copy of a decent edition instead.

There is light at the end of the tunnel.,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Breaking the Bonds: Understanding Depression, Finding Freedom (Paperback)
I only began reading this informative book two days ago, however, I am already of the opinion that this book is going to be the launch pad for my recovery. At 36 years of age, I could not understand why I have felt the way I do all of these years. The depths of "Depression" have been challenging and debilatating. My hopes lifted as soon as I picked up the book and read the first comment on the back cover. " Depression: the imprisoning experience of isolation and fear which comes when we realize that there is a serious discrepancy between what we thought our life to be and what it actually is." That was a powerful statement. It made me suddenly realise that if it could be summed up in so few words, then there was hope to cure me of this disease, or atleast the opportunity to live with it. The references to other people's situations and how they are affected is essential as one of the worst things about depression is feeling isolated and alone. When I read of other case studies, it is evident to me that there are many others suffering the same symptoms and struggling to find away out of the prison of depression. Another aspect of the book which I find appealing is the use of words and terms that are easily understood by anyone. It has been helpful in my attempt at having my loved ones understand what I am going through. ie: " fear that everyone she loved and needed would reject her. She believed that no matter how hard she worked to make people love and need her, sooner or later they would discover that inside I'm foul and disgusting." Overall this book is easy to read and understand. It has lifted my spirits a little and put me in touch with some part of me that I thought was lost. I am using this book as a stepping stone to other avenues of help. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:
