Among the 12 approaches presented are Object Relations, Cognitive Therapies, Schema-Focused, Couple and Family, Integrative Psychotherapy as well as Psychopharmacology. A significant contribution to this volume is the chapter on cultural considerations for understanding, assessing and treating depression.
