Four case studies of patients recovering from depression
3 Oct 1998
Format:Hardcover
Dr. Rosen provides a beautiful illustration of four patients' paths from depression to health. The four case studies reveal how Rosen encourages his depressed patients to express and experience themselves through creative arts-painting, dance, and pottery-during their courses of traditional Jungian psychotherapy. In the end, all four patients discover that life is a meaningful alternative to suicide.
Transforming Depression falls short with regard to its practical usefulness in treating a growing problem in our population (although the author doesn't make a claim that he intends this to be a part of his work). Dr. Rosen's innovative approach as described, requires highly trained, narrowly focused specialists-which translates to highly paid therapists whose services and skills are inaccessible to most people. It's a beautify theory, but hardly something which might be useful to solving a serious public health problem.

Absolutely Wonderful
24 July 2000
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book was absolutely wonderful to see. I got it and couldn't put it down. I have lived with depression for many years and been diagnosed for 3 years. I read this book and found it very helpful. I am a poet during my depressive and non-depressive stages (not a very good one, but a poet nonetheless), and I think it is a wonderful approach that seems not to be taken very seriously. The pictures included in the book speak to me as well. I also do many collages, and they seem to help. If you want a good book, I recommend this one.

Creative understanding of depression
18 Feb 2003
Format:Paperback
This is a must read for all who have struggled with depression. Dr. Rosen helps us understand depression and different ways of healing. He examines the motivations to live and the transformations that must take place. The four studies given in part three are amazing journeys to read.
