Trade Review"While O’Hanlon’s book is written for therapists, I have also recommended it to family members of depressed people; even the mildly depressed could make use of this book to help themselves." -- Reader's Digest India
"Well, O’Hanlon has done it again. . . . His genius is to make something difficult, such as treating depression, look and become effortless. . . . All of his strategies are ones that therapists should use, especially with depressed people, because the steps are so powerful. . . . I love this book and, of course, recommend it. I will prompt all my students and anyone who works with depressed people to read it carefully." -- The Milton H. Erickson Foundation Newsletter
"O’Hanlon does an excellent job of aggregating extensive research with stories from his own life, his teachers and clients, and those well-known figures who have been depressed and survived and thrived. He somehow manages to take all that data, both qualitative and quantitative, and put it together in an easy-to-understand and engaging read that gives clinicians very useful tools. . . . I am grateful that he has put together this valuable, well-researched resource." -- PsychCentral
"
Out of the Blue is filled with practical wisdom that therapists can immediately implement to help improve the lives and moods of clients suffering from depressive disorders. The writing is easy to follow and has the perfect mix of theory, recent research, reason, and compelling human stories that richly illustrate key points. This book will also be a terrific resource for family members and friends looking to gain insight and communication skills to support a loved one in the midst of a crippling episode of depression." -- Kathi Kemper, MD, MPH, Director, OSU Center for Integrative Health and Wellness; author, Mental Health Naturally and Addressing ADD Naturally
