How we feel physically and mentally can make or break us. Dr. Bob Rich understands this and has the experience and expertise to solicit his advice unto our eager ears. In his book, “From Depression to Contentment: a Self-Therapy Guide,” Dr. Rich digs into the topic of depression and helps the reader make sense of this debilitating issue. “From Depression to Contentment” lives up to its promise by being very thorough in explaining every way in which depression can take hold of your life, and then teaches the reader how to take back control of their life to ease their symptoms. Dr. Rich’s book is a self-help book, providing the necessary information for the reader to be able to apply it to their own life in order to live a happier, more fulfilling life.

Everything about depression that Dr. Rich says in his book makes sense, is informationally correct, and can be easily done by any reader, as long as they are willing to put forth the effort. Anything that needs fixing in our lives requires some work, and depression is far from the exception. I appreciate how he covers the expanse of influence that depression has on a person’s life, but then also provides solid and attainable goals to work toward.

I also appreciate the extra resources through websites and book suggestions to add to our knowledge on this subject. He writes with a mostly positive and personal tone so that the reader can’t help but feel that they are sitting in his office, receiving his expert help in person. I say “mostly” above because the reader will find some of his personal beliefs interspersed in the text that might not be a shared opinion among everyone.

“From Depression to Contentment: a Self-Therapy Guide,” by Dr. Bob Rich should be known and read by everyone to help reduce the number of cases of depression around the world.

Reclaim your rightful sense of self.



Therapists Praise Breaking Through Betrayal


"Useful for anyone caught in self-blame, shame or repeated victimization. Though almost the antithesis of my
inner-transformation approach, this empowering 'in-control' approach can help readers take charge,
assess injury, gauge healing and find excellent strategies to protect themselves from future trauma when
relating to one's betrayer."

--Beth Hedva, Ph.D. author of award-winning Betrayal, Trust and Forgiveness


"This volume deals with the subject of betrayal, and is appropriate as a self-help
aid for clients. It also contains useful suggestions for therapists dealing with those
who have experienced betrayal of trust of several kinds: interpersonal, familial,
sexual, and financial. The steps in the healing process are well outlined and make
clear that relapse is to be expected. Overlap with loss and the grief process is also
well discussed."

--Lucy R. Ferguson, Ph.D., Member, AFTNC

Faculty Member and Dean Emerita, CSPP, Alliant University
