Today's self-improvement literature address all kinds of ills: addictions, assertiveness, eating disorders, fear of flying, sexual dysfunctions, weight loss, etc., etc. The confusion over what works and what does not work is understandable. Martin Seligman has analyzed respected scientific research on treatments for alcoholism, anxiety, weight loss, anger, depression, and a range of phobias and obsessions to discover what is the most effective way to address each condition. He candidly describes what does not work, and pinpoints the techniques and therapies that do work best for each condition. He discusses why they work and how you can use them to make long-lasting change. He reviews the four natural healing factors for alcoholism recovery work; the vital difference between overeating and being overweight; the four therapies that work for depression, the pros and cons of anger and much more. The scientific information will help therapists from varying approaches with differing clientele be more successful in their clinical settings.
