{"product_id":"experiences-of-depression","title":"Experiences of Depression","description":"\u003cp\u003eExperiences of Depression is a philosophical exploration of what it is like to be depressed. In this important new book, Matthew Ratcliffe develops a detailed account of depression experiences by drawing on work in phenomenology, philosophy of mind, and several other disciplines. In so doing, he makes clear how phenomenological research can contribute to psychiatry, by helping us to better understand patients' experiences, as well as informing\n\u003cbr\u003eclassification, diagnosis, and treatment. Throughout the book, Ratcliffe also emphasizes the relevance of depression to philosophical enquiry. He proposes that, by reflecting on how experiences of\n\u003cbr\u003edepression differ from 'healthy' forms of experience, we can refine our understanding of both. Hence phenomenological research  of this kind has much wider applicability. He further shows how the study of depression experiences can inform philosophical approaches to a range of topics, including interpersonal understanding and empathy, free will, the experience of time, the nature of emotion and feeling, what it is to believe something, and what it is to hope.This book will\n\u003cbr\u003ebe of interest to anyone seeking to understand and relate to experiences of depression, including philosophers, psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, therapists, and those who have been directly or\n\u003cbr\u003eindirectly affected by depression.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46058767155438,"sku":"9780199608973","price":135.28,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780199608973.jpg?v=1736482840","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/experiences-of-depression","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
