- Short Description:
- This dialogue explores depression as a disorder of perspective, shaped more by coping style and social context than by biology alone. Emphasizing the dangers of rumination, passivity, and isolation, it highlights how therapy can teach clients proactive problem-solving, expectancy, and social skills. The workshop also critiques medication culture, addressing issues from ghostwritten studies and overprescription to ecological concerns. Participants gain practical strategies for building resilience and preventing relapse, while situating depression within a broader cultural and relational framework .
