Reviews

Twice as many women suffer from depression as men, according to a report issued in 1990 by the American Psychological Association's Task Force on Women and Depression. This higher incidence is related to the stresses of being female in modern society. McGrath, clinical psychologist and chair of the task force, distinguishes culturally based, healthy depression from biologically rooted, unhealthy depression (which requires professional treatment). Both conditions are affected by a core of traditional values and expectations that influence women's behavior; if unchecked, healthy depression may lead to unhealthy depression. McGrath identifies six types of healthy depression and examines the social and cultural sources for each. She offers such strategies as exercise and activities that promote a positive self-image. Especially helpful are chapters discussing inherited factors and vulnerability to unhealthy depression. This book is recommended for popular psychology and self-help collections. Literary Guild and Doubleday Book Club selections.
