Recenzje

'In my opinion this is an excellent book which hits exactly the right note in relation to acknowledging the severity of the problem for the individual and for the family at the same time as giving hope through understanding and clarity of recommendations. It is never simplistic and does not skirt around the complexity, at the same time the reader is never lost and the voice of the authors come across through and with the young people whose experiences are detailed with the clarity of google maps. The authors are serious academics, but approach this weighty subject with an enviable lightness of touch. Parents and particularly young people who are experiencing mild, moderate, or severe depression will find answers to practical as well as complex questions in these pages. It is simply the best book there is for and about young people with the experience of depression. It should also be read by any professional working with this group for important lessons about how to talk to someone simply, but meaningfully who present with a diagnosis of depression. The best recommendation I can give is that I wish I had this book when I was 17.' Peter Fonagy, Professor of Contemporary Psychoanalysis and Developmental Science, University College London
