      While many books deliver remedies for depression, Clark (psychology, Univ. of New Brunswick) offers preventative steps that people can take to reverse a slide from periods of sadness into full-blown depression. He presents more than 80 cognitive strategies to cut the depressed mood "off at the pass," such as silencing the inner critic, making connections with others, and facing one's demons. The author speaks with understanding of the depressive personality type and presents tangible exercises and concrete examples of actions to correct faulty thinking and actions. This is a hefty read and deserves a commitment for change. VERDICT Excellent material, with a menu of options for those who suffer from the blues.
