4.0 out of 5 stars A PATIENT'S PERSPECTIVE, 23 Jan 1999

By A Customer

This book was interesting to me as someone who has been diagnosed with seasonal affect disorder (SAD). However, I feel that the same information is restated and shown over and over again through different cases, making the book long if individual cases are not what you are looking for. I felt that the book was written in plain language, but was still geared towards psychologists and doctors. It did answer some of my questions about different types of light therapy and as someone who has lived in Scandinavia, I found his study of people who live in northern latitudes with regard to whether they are more immune to SAD particularly interesting. If you think you may have SAD, the book provides a test which doesn't tell you much, but would confirm the severity of your case by distiguishing it from "Winter Blues" and SAD. I think all psycologists/psychiatrists should have this book in their libraries and read about SAD so they can recognize it for what it is. If more people would acknowlege the disorder it would make it a lot easier on those of us who have it. And maybe the insurance company would get around to reimbursing me for my expensive light box instead of only wanting to pay for pills.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very interesting, well-written book, 8 Dec 1998

By A Customer

"Winter Blues" is a well-crafted book by Dr. Norman E. Rosenthal, the creator of the contemporary concept of seasonal affective disorder and light therapy, one of the leaders in the field of mood disorders, and the author of numerous publications including "St. John's Wort: The Herbal Way to Feeling Good." The first edition of "Winter Blues" was published in 1993. In the past 5 years this book has become a classic reference for the thousands of people who experience seasonal changes in mood and behavior. The second edition is not merely a cosmetic update but an extensive revision of the first edition. The revised edition of "Winter Blues" provides the readers with the most up-to-date information on the research in the field and reflects new perspectives in appreciating how much we can do to overcome the effects of seasons. The chapter on new research demonstrates the vast accumulation of new information we have gained on the subject of seasonal affective disorder, seasonality, and light treatment. The author describes interesting scientific findings related to the neurobiological mechanisms of seasonality. Other chapters of this book provides the readers with useful information on how to overcome "winter blues" and related topics. I am impressed with the deepness of the author's description of the "holiday blues" and "anniversary reactions." This is a simply written, interesting book. It is a book I certainly recommend to everybody who is interested in natural sciences.
