Product Description
"A life shaken by depression is also a life open to the possibility of deep transformation" writes John McQuaid and Paula Carmona in Peaceful Mind: Using Mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Psychology to Overcome Depression. These experts in treating depression recommend a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and meditation. CBT teaches you to track your thoughts, observe behaviours and notice how these affect depression. By changing thoughts and behaviours you learn to change your emotions and mood. Meditation trains you to observe your life and thoughts. Both can help you identify, then change core beliefs that influence depression, resulting in new core beliefs based on your values.
Peaceful Mind doesn't have the snappy sentences, pep talks, or quick-read paragraphs common to self-help books. The style is calm, the content detailed, much as a therapist might explain things to you. Sometimes the style seems gloomy (eg: "feeling desiccated, like a dried bag of bones"), but the overall feeling is optimistic. The authors hold out hope and contentment, and a conviction that this can help you get there. Psychologist John R McQuaid, PhD heads the Cognitive Behavioural Intervention Programme at the Veterans Administration. Paula E Carmona RN, MSN, is a Psychiatric Clinical Nurse Specialist with special training in Zen meditation. --Joan Price, Amazon.com
