Caroline Carr's book follows her own story of coping with a partner who gradually slid into depression and - eventually - came out of it again. Although their relationship was changed, it survived, and she describes how she felt and the strategies she used to cope. She has talked to many other people whose partners have suffered from depression and she uses these as case studies throughout the book. She also gives a mass of practical advice, some she used at the time and some learnt later, to help others going through the same stressful experience. About the Author Caroline Carr is a hypnotherapist, life coach and author. Her work has spanned areas as diverse as theatre, television, education and the criminal justice system. She works with people individually, and also in groups, where she delivers courses on self-development and interpersonal communication skills. When her life partner of twenty years became depressed it was a shock. She needed advice - but couldn't find the right kind quickly enough. This is what inspired her to write Living With the Black Dog. Reviews 'This is by far the best book to have been written by a carer of a depressed partner. It is moving, practical, down to earth and personal. Above all it is warm...This book is an obligatory read.' Paul Lanham, Vice-President of Depression Alliance |
