	Counseling Depression and Anxiety Counseling depression and anxiety are probably two of the most common forms of counseling. In this ground-breaking book, Dr. Robert Tippie lays out proven methods of dealing with both depression and anxiety. In addition, the book contains significant discussion related to brain chemistry and interaction between chemical substances that are often used to "cure" both anxiety and depression. Considerable time is taken to analyze the substances from numerous expert sources. While the pastor or the therapist may not be directly or indirectly involved in the medication of clients, the therapist does indeed need to understand the affects that these substances may be having on their clients since many of the affects can be grossly negative and detrimental to the well-being of the client and to their progress in treatment. This book also contains a significant amount of forms and other documentation that can be photocopied and given to the client for their self-help. This book is designed to help the therapist move a client along the road to recovery very rapidly whether the client is experiencing depression or anxiety. No one who counsels depression or anxiety should be without this informative and educational manual. Date for release of this Manual has not yet been determined. The volume, however, is in the later stages of production and the counselor or therapist should look for its release quite soon.
