"The Women's Workbook is the eloquent result of years of research in treatment of depression by Verona Gordon. In it she shares her insight, her knowledge, her sensitivity to the pervasiveness of the problem [of depression] among women. The women in my groups found this book to be practical, comprehensive, informative and encouraging. They reported reading and re-reading the chapters to be a healing and affirming experience. The women that I worked with in group did, without exception, noticeably improve. They became less anxious, more confident, more apt to express themselves; they made better choices about handling their stresses. I am convinced that the cognitive group approach, as outlined in the manual, is a powerful and effective treatment for stress, anxiety and depression."
