| What Other Customers Had to Say About This Item [ Average Customer Rating: 4.69 ] Rating: 5 :: Healing for the Walking Wounded This is a beautifully written book that not only addresses the clinical aspects of depression, but one that goes to the heart of the problem and speaks to the soul. Having worked with "wounded" individuals as both a counselor and an educator, I have seen the collective pain they carry. Depression is more prevalent today than ever. Debbie Thurman knows this and writes with an urgency and a heart of compassion that reaches out to those who live in the darkness that once enveloped her. This book belongs in a class with the finest books that have been written on this topic. It is practical, thoughtful, compelling and encouraging. I recommend "From Depression To Wholeness" for anyone who works with young people and for anyone in a leadership capacity. It is a must-read for counselors. Rating: 5 :: A Wise Guide to Healing from Depression As a psychologist, I read Debbie Thurman's FROM DEPRESSION TO WHOLENESS with a great deal of interest -- and ultimately, amazement and gratitude. With the power of personal experience, she shares her own battle with depression, and her long journey toward healing. Through the traditional therapeutic model - counseling and drug therapy, and a deeper search in the realm of the spirit, she shares the transformational power that she has found available through faith in God. This beautifully written book will be of enormous value to anyone who struggles with depression, as well as to family members and friends who love someone who suffers from the illness. It will also be an insightful resource for therapists, pastors, social workers, teachers, and all those who work with depressed people. Rating: 4 :: A Must Read I highly recommend this book to anyone who has gone through depression, or knows someone who is going through it. A very well written book that can help a lot of people.
