Books like Depression by Ernest Keen


"Most studies of depression focus on psychiatric or medical interpretations. But sadness and guilt are human experiences, Keen asserts, and not disease symptoms. They involve intricate layers of enacting a style for others, of coping with moral crises, and of enduring disappointment. Depression tells us to life and death - and good and evil - but not sickness and health.". "Beginning with human consciousness, in contrast to the non-reflective consciousness of animals, Keen examines the experience of depression and probes its personal, social, and moral meanings. He seeks to demystify the common misperceptions of "depression as disease" and, therefore, "depression as dysfunction."" "This work will be of particular interest to practitioners, professors, and students of psychology."--BOOK JACKET.
