So nah und doch so fern

A motivating and self-help-oriented work that empathetically addresses the challenging situation of relatives of patients with depression and offers many, especially solution-oriented coping strategies. Furthermore, the author outlines a comprehensive, easily understandable picture of the diagnosis of depression and its causes and influencing factors. It serves as an encouragement and guide for a frequently neglected and therapeutically under-focused target group. Relatives of individuals suffering from depression ask different questions than the patients themselves: Am I perhaps to blame for my partner's depression? Do I have to put up with a lot because of this? How can I really help? Jeannette Bischkopf provides answers in this guide, consistently adopting the perspective of the relatives.
