Book Overview
"Depression is the common cold of psychopathology and has touched the lives of us all," writes Dr. Martin Seligman. But the emotional distresses that lead to depression, anxiety, and failure do not "just happen." Instead, as Dr. Seligman shows, these widespread disorders often grow out of a sense of helplessness that is learned, reinforced, and justified by the individual.

Good reading for a Psychologist or Clergyman
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Just for the readers information I am a Ministry and Theology freshman major in college. I choose this book to do a review on; and I gave the book the typical stereotype of being just another boring book about Psychology, but I was proven wrong. Martin E. P. Seligman uses many examples and explains what he writes for those of us who don't have a large vocabulary. If you need a book that explains the facts and opinions about helplessness, then Helplessness by Martin E. P. Seligman is the book for you.
