Publisher's Synopsis

Overcoming Postnatal Depressionuses the trusted Five Areas model of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), helping people experiencing postnatal depression to change how they feel. The Five Areas model helps the reader make key changes using a clear, pragmatic and accessible style, by examining five important aspects of our lives:

It provides access to the proven CBT approach, helping the reader make positive changes in their life in a planned and achievable way.
