Look no further than “Self-System Therapy for Depression: Therapist Guide.” This book, written by Kari M. Eddington, Timothy J. Strauman, Angela Z. Vieth, Gregory G.

Depression is a common and debilitating mental health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It can lead to feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and despair, making it difficult to lead a fulfilling and enjoyable life. While there are many potential causes of depression, one contributing factor is problems with self-regulation. Self-regulation involves setting and pursuing personal goals, striving to be the person you want to be.

“Self-System Therapy for Depression: Therapist Guide” introduces Self-System Therapy (SST), a motivational approach to treating depression that focuses on improving self-regulation. The treatment program consists of 16 sessions, each designed to help individuals decrease feelings of disappointment and failure and increase feelings of pride and accomplishment.

This therapist guide provides a detailed description of SST, including strategies and techniques for each phase of treatment. Additionally, case vignettes and examples are included to illustrate the application of SST in a clinical setting. The core strategies of SST revolve around setting appropriate and reasonable personal goals, evaluating the effectiveness of goal pursuit strategies, and adjusting goals to enhance positive emotions.

Clinical studies have shown that SST is highly effective in reducing depression and anxiety. By improving self-regulation, individuals can develop healthier coping strategies, cultivate their strengths, and achieve their personal goals, leading to an overall improvement in their mental well-being.

Accompanying this therapist guide is the “Client Workbook,” which provides a simplified explanation of self-regulation and includes worksheets to help individuals implement the strategies learned in therapy. This workbook can be used in conjunction with therapy or as a standalone resource for individuals who want to work on improving their self-regulation skills.
