Rethinking Depression

Why Current Treatments Fail

By: Kristina Downing-Orr

As both an academic and professional psychologist, my background is somewhat unique. Most psychologists either opt for the research route, where they study human behavior in the hope of generating insightful theories, or they choose to work clinically with clients and patients. The problems with these distinct pathways should seem appar ent. In their academic role, research psychologists study and gener ate numerous theories about people, both as individualsandas social beings. However, while their conclusions may provide the basis for therapeutic work, research psychologists are not clinicians. Con versely, clinical psychologists and other therapists are trained princi pally to work with clients and patients. While many clinicians carry out research projects, their time is mostly spent offering professional help to people. Although both roles serve to advance the science and practice of psychology, researchers in their ivory towers may find their abstract theories and conclusions are inapplicable in the "real world," whereas therapists might discover they work within pre scribed treatment frameworks without questioning the limits of these approaches. Because of my two professional roles, I have aimed to bridge this gap. Here, I have combined my experiences of researching and treat ing depression with the intentions of improving treatments and of encouraging better communication between the two psychologies. Kristina Downing-Orr Oxford, England V Acknowledgments Many people provided the inspiration for this book, and I will be etemally grateful for all their assistance.

Beating Chronic Fatigue

Your step-by-step guide to complete recovery

By: Kristina Downing-Orr

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a common condition that can last for many years. It is a debilitating chronic illness which ruins lives. Every waking moment becomes a physical, emotional and cognitive struggle just to function on the most basic of levels. The purpose of this book is to reassure sufferers and their families that recovery is possible and that the illness is genuine. It draws on the experiences of many sufferers of chronic fatigue and on those of the author herself. Dr Kristina Downing-Orr, a clinical psychologist, suffered severe chronic fatigue symptoms and was compelled to research the cause of CFS and the cure herself because she was offered so little help by the medical profession. Her recovery was quick and lasting. In her book, Kristina reveals the causes of chronic fatigue and offers an accessible, scientifically valid, easy-to-achieve programme that will inspire people with CFS to regain their health and restore their energy and vitality. Chapters cover Kristina's own story, what chronic fatigue really is, what causes it, diagnosis, a step-by-step self-treatment programme, how to strengthen the body, and coping with stress and resources.

101 Reasons Why Your Man's from Heaven Or from Hell

By: Kristina Downing-Orr

He's indispensable when it comes to setting up your video, yet he's secretly a Trekkie? You can always cling to him during scary movies...and sometimes he'll cling to you. Sounds familiar? This upbeat novelty book is aimed at women (and the men who love them). In the first part of the book, the reader is presented with 51 reasons why her man is a true prize. However, since the path of loving relationships is not always smooth, the flip-side contains 50 reminders why you still love him. Witty, insightful text accompanied by Neil Kerber's amusing cartoons makes the ideal gift for contemporary females of all ages.

Wearing The Ruby Slippers

9 Steps to Happiness

By: Kristina Downing-Orr

This is the book for anyone who: --Forever finds themselves expecting the worst - both from themselves and others--Finds the very thought of public speaking, travelling on the tube or confronting a difficult situation sends them into a blind panic--Despite real achievement still finds themselves hankering after that ever elusive something that will make them truly happyWearing the Ruby Slippers is the first guide to adopt the revolutionary principles of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - the leading therapy in the treatment of unhappiness and anxiety disorders. Clinical psychologist Dr Kristina Downing-Orr shows how, by using the exercises and tasks included, we can all learn to respond positively and confidently to even the most difficult situations - and all in just 9 weeks. Drawing on the well-loved characters of The Wizard of Oz, this book will show how to replace old negative thought patterns with positive ones. Just as the cowardly lion would never have believed in his courage had he not been given his medal for bravery and while the scarecrow only realised his intelligence when he was awarded a diploma, Kristina Downing-Orr shows how, once given the right tools, we are all capable of true happiness - it's simply a matter of getting the habit.
