Dr. Kantor has added immeasurably to the literature on depression with his latest book. This is the only book I know of that focuses not only on the big but also on the little things that mean a lot and represent some of the real issues why men get depressed. My friends who went for help for depression wound up getting two words out to their psychiatrists then getting medicated; or seeing someone who dealt with early experiences but not the here and now, or only handled the major losses and rejections but not those little things that stick in the craw and are really the route to big,deep, depressive disorder. This is the arena where Kantor fight depression, and what he has written should be read by all men (and women) who suffer from an affective disorder and want to know what is really causing it microscopically and how to enter that microscopic world of the depressed man they love and then take action to reduce its ravages.
