Omschrijving
"Original edition first published in the United Kingdom as Thrive: the power of evidence-based psychological therapies, by Penguin Books Ltd, London"--Title page verso.
"A compelling new book."--Martin Wolf, Financial Times "One of the main obstacles preventing mental illness sufferers from receiving treatment is stigma. Thrive tries to dent this stigma by repeatedly trumpeting the prevalence of the disease while presenting a lodestar for radically improved mental health services that offer sufferers an indispensable ingredient for recovery: hope."--Brendan Daly, Sunday Business Post "These champions of cognitive behavioral therapy have done more to turn mental health into practical politics than anyone before."--Polly Toynbee, Guardian "It is hard to argue with their case that the failure to help those in mental distress is an injustice."--Ian Birrell, Observer "If Layard and Clark are right, we seem at last to have found a gentle, nondisruptive and apparently risk-free way of dealing with the worst and most commonplace miseries of the mind. Let's do it."--Bryan Appleyard, Sunday Times "The argument for change posited by Layard and his co-author ... is a strong one."--Chris Blackhurst, Independent "Layard and Clark have written a book that we all need to read, take careful notes on and, where possible, commit to memory."--Charlotte Pennington, Psychologist "Layard and Clark ... hit us with staggering statistics throughout the book, which is comprehensive yet accessible to readers without a background in psychology or psychiatry ... Economist Richard Layard and clinical psychologist David M. Clark satisfy our craving for data, giving readers hard facts backed by years of research on one of the most neglected areas of medicine."--Resham Gellatly and Aaron T. Beck, Journal of Psychiatric Practice "This book is nothing less than a sledgehammer to crack open the resting place of the Holy Grail: the Holy Grail of universal human happiness."--Roger Jones, British Journal of General Practice "Informative, poignant, and accessible to a broad readership... The authors' engaging writing style, selection of topics and content organization make Thrive a great read."--Maura Pilotti, Metapsychology
