Books

(I've read a lot more on the subject, and one day will get them all listed.)

• How to Win Over Depression (by Tim LaHayne)
  -----Now that I have re-read the book, I have to say that I do not reccomend this book. Other than the fact that the book is outdated [© 1974] the author seems to me to be very opinionated, and does not truly understand depression. But again, the book was written 25 years ago...
  
  
• Dark Clouds, Silver Linings (by Archibald D. Hart, Ph.D.)
  ----- An excellent book! I have gotten a lot of info. for my web page from this book.
