Cynthia W. Lubow, MFT has worked as a psychotherapist with depressed patients for over 20 years.  Between her professional experience and healing from her own depression, she has developed a collection of unique and effective self-care techniques for preventing and relieving depression.  Ending the Blues offers a wide variety of tools, but each tool stands alone.  Each is described briefly, so that they are accessible to people who are too depressed to read more.

While psychotherapy and/or medication work for many people, they don’t always work completely or for everyone.  They also often don’t work fast enough.  These tools go beyond treatment, helping it work, and in some cases working faster and better than the treatment itself.

While Cynthia teaches these tools in therapy, learning them out of a book is useful alone, or as a supplement to therapy, so therapy time can be focused on healing, rather than teaching. If you struggle with depression, this is the book to keep close at hand for the rest of your life; the manual that should have been issued with your depression.
