Pressestimmen
Grounded in ancient wisdom and the newest scientific evidence, this book provides a host of tools for those suffering from depression. Strosahl and Robinson invite us to take a wholly new view of what depression is, and how to deal skillfully with it through strategies born of acceptance and self-compassion. Their book shows the pathways into and out of depression and gives us a vital map to see clearly where genuine peace and freedom lie.
--Mark Williams, professor of clinical psychology and Wellcome Principal Research Fellow at the University of Oxford
Kurzbeschreibung
There are hundreds of books on the market that try to help readers 'overcome' or 'put a stop to' depression. But what if depression isn't a 'thing' to be gotten rid of? What if depression is a behaviour that, in the context of the life of someone who is depressed, serves an important function or acts as a signal that something needs to change? Learning to understand the function and interpret the signal of depression would, then, be a much more important goal than finding out how to simply make it go away. Living well even with feelings of depression would be a more productive-and probably more attainable-goal.This workbook marks a major development in the treatment of depression. Based on the acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), an emerging new model of psychotherapy, "The Mindfulness and Acceptance Workbook for Depression" offers a new approach to depression. The central idea is that feelings of depression are not problems in themselves. What is a serious problem is the avoidance of pleasurable, productive activities. At first depression may set the sufferer up for this avoidance, but sooner or later the process becomes a cycle, and the avoidance behaviours start causing more depressed feelings. When readers use the techniques in this book to evaluate their own experiences of depression, they will find out how to make changes that may or may not decrease their depressed feelings but will most certainly enrich and improve their total life experience.

This book is a further piece of a broader picture that is called ACT. It gently exposes the reader to the core principles of ACT and is activating by applyling a multitude of exercises. These include the central factors of ACT:
1) acceptance / mindfulness of one's situation, not to be confused with giving up or some sort of fatalism
2) defusion: take a step back from your thoughts: they are not you
3) getting in contact with the present moment, rather than pondering the past and the future
4) defining valued directions: live up to what is truly important for you
5) take action: choose what you want to do (with your life)
6) don't define yourself along your history of troubles - there is more about you
Thus it truly deserves the subtitle of a workbook. It is a highly recommendable read for people suffering from depression and therapists and counsellors alike.

Same ACT channel, same ACT material, but many new techniques & tips
26. Mai 2008
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Strosahl and Robinson follow in the path of "Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life" but focus specifically on depression. A little New Age-y here & there, which initially might or might not be a turn-off, depending on how you feel about such things - but stick with it, because there's lots of powerful material here:
- Strong and useful explanation of why we get depressed in the first place. Blaming biology or history doesn't help us; a more useful stance, as the authors explain, is to look not just at the pain in our lives, but at how we react to that pain. Avoidance pushes us into depression, acceptance and action pull us back into life.
- A full chapter on how our mind tricks us with reasons & stories that seem to "make sense," but actually keep us stuck.
- Nice accompanying CD with guided meditation exercises of various sorts, some for learning mindfulness skills, others for getting in touch with our intuition about what we really want to do in life.
- Good closing chapters on building ACT habits that will last rather than fizzle.

A workbook that actually works!
16. Januar 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
I've struggled with depression for the majority of my life and have tried many different tools to help me heal - for exmaple psychoanalysis, self-help books, homeopathy, antidepressants, acupuncture, etc. While I won't say that those tools did not help me (I really needed therapy to move through the most acute traumas of my past), I will say that this workbook has really helped me at this point in my life, helping me to understand how the depression has influenced my current behaviors and ways of coping with my past. Having been through nearly 3 years of therapy, and there working through past issues, I was ready to start taking action in my life *now* for a better future. This workbook has helped me frame what's most important to me, what I want to experience, and find ways to actually begin creating those changes for myself. I look forward to the personal time I spend with this workbook, and I feel I've benefitted greatly from it.

Great Stuff
28. Oktober 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I'm a long-time practitioner (though not consistently so) of mindfulness - insight meditation. This is a great D-I-Y program for learning to pay attention in order to avoid depression. One key "learning" so to speak: As the authors state, depression is something we do, not something we have. Therefore, we can learn how "not to do" and live a more satisfying life. I've gotten way too good at "doing depression" over the decades; this workbook is helping me understand how to be less successful at such self-defeating behavior!
