Depression is a serious problem, but drugs are not the answer. In the long run, psychotherapy is both cheaper and more effective, even for very serious levels of depression. Physical exercise and self-help books based on CBT can also be useful, either alone or in combination with therapy. Reducing social and economic inequality would also reduce the incidence of depression. 

R. Findling, The Commitment Cure What to Do When You Fall for an Ambivalent Man (Avon, Mass. Adams Media, 2004). The self-help section of bookstores is filled with books on commitment phobia. It is, though, interesting to note that the emphasis of these books is on the greater difficulties that women have in getting men to commit than vice versa.

The idea of influencing yourself has come from a self-help book on personal therapy. Tom Rusk and Randy Read, in a postscript to I Want To Change But I Don t Know How (1986), have set out their views on what constitutes best psychotherapeutic practice. Their conclusions are based on extensive observations, using videotape, film, and one-way mirrors, of therapeutic sessions. 

Knowledge of the seriousness of adverse health effects due to tobacco use is helpful in motivating a user to quit, as well as maintaining abstinence. Physicians who advise their patients to quit smoking can produce cessation rates of 5-10%. Thus, education plays a critical role in tobacco cessation for all ages. A variety of self-help materials (books, tapes, pamphlets, newsletters, software, and Internet sites) are available to inform and aid in quitting tobacco use. 

Jung s work on the inner side of alchemy has been extremely influential, and the psychological/self help interpretation of the art has proved an extremely rich seam to mine. A visit to any bookshop will bear this out, with the proliferation of books entitled The Alchemy of... or taking the basic premise of transformation as the foundation upon which to build work upon the self. Indeed, alchemy seems to be at its most relevant and popular today in its inner, as opposed to laboratory, aspect. And yet it has to be remembered that alchemy is both an inner work and an outer work, and it is with this in mind that we shall end our brief survey of the art.

I am sure you have heard this foolish assertion. It is even the title of a self-help book. For years I have wondered where tiie "21" came from. Then a local farmer reminded me. It takes 21 days for an egg to hatch into a chicken. 

Many pop psychology self-help books, audiotapes, and motivational speeches give minimal if any attention to behavior-based approaches to personal achievement. "Behavioral... 

Think about it. When people ask us why we did something, we are apt to say, "1 wanted to do it," or "I was told to do it," or "1 needed to do it." These explanations sound as if the cause of our behavior comes before we act. This perspective is supported by numerous "pop psychology" self-help books and audiotapes that say people motivate themselves with positive self-affirmations or optimistic thinking and enthusiastic expectations. In other words, behavior is caused by some external request, order, or signal or by an internal force, drive, desire, or need.

In the preparation of this edition, we are indebted for much help to many of our colleagues, and in particular to Dr. P. Sykes, Dr. F. B. Kipping, Dr. P. Alaitland, Dr. J. Harley-Mason and Dr. R. E. D. Clark. We have maintained the standard which was self-imposed when this book was first written, namely, that all the experiments in the book had been critically examined, and then performed either by the authors, or under their super vision. The heavy load of work which this has involved would have been impossible without the willing, patient, and very considerable help of Mr. F. C. Baker and Mr. F. E. G. Smith.
