Adolescent depression is a severe mental health problem (Auerbach & Ho, 2012 ; Young, Miller & Khan, 2010). Depressed female adolescents habitually seek and retain negative experiences because of their dysfunctional attitude and negative bias. The goal of this research was to develop and to assess the implementability of "Taking in the Good Based-Bibliotherapy Intervention Program" for female adolescents. As an innovative type of psychotherapy treatment, which utilizes the elements of positive neuroplasticity and the principles of bibliotherapy, the program aimed to help them to build up their inner strengths by experiencing, enriching, and absorbing daily events with a positive attitude and installing them in the brain. The program was conducted in two phases: 1. the development of taking in the good based-bibliotherapy intervention. 2. the implementation and assessment of the pioneering treatment for alleviating depression and thereby increasing positive cognitive appraisal by employing the true experimental research design particularly between subjects. The Beck Depression Inventory, the Asian Adolescent Depression Scale and the Kutcher Adolescent Depression Scale were administered before and after the implementation of the program. A total of 30 female adolescents, Filipino High School Students, (mean age = 13.9), were randomly assigned to experimental and control conditions. The data analysis was done by employing percentage and frequency distribution, mean scores, standard deviation, dependent t-test, independent t-test statistics and Cohen's d. The null hypothesis was tested at the 0.05 level of significance The statistical analysis between the pre-test and post-test scores of the experimental group showed significant difference (p = .000) and the scores of the control and experimental group showed significant difference (p = .000) in all the dependent variables in the post-test. These results revealed that the "Taking in the Good based-Bibliotherapy Intervention" was very effective in reducing depression in female adolescents.

Human life is a combination of positive and negative experiences. Although there is an infinite number of positive experiences in life, people are prone to take in negative ones in their daily lives. When people become depressed, there is a swing in their brain states and the patterns that direct attention, thinking, and behavior in specific ways, mainly with regard to losses and threats. Memories of earlier losses and threats are activated. Attention and focusing on positive events become difficult. Focusing on negative events, including the autobiographical memory, becomes easy. Moreover, depressed people markedly seek and take in negative experiences due to their negative life experiences, events, and dysfunctional cognitive appraisals. Psychological intervention is one of the most commonly sought forms of help when the female adolescents experience depression. As the world of the adolescents alters radically, mental health professionals must be equipped with proficient strategy to address the various aspects of depression. Since the theory on taking in the good proposes a new therapy approach with effective positive neuroplasticity strategy as important ingredients, it is to be expected that a combined intervention program based on this theory and principles of bibliotherapy would be dexterous enough to address depression in all its heterogeneous nature.

This title is based on the results of a project based at the Tavistock Clinic in London which set out to explore whether children and young people aged nine years to fifteen years suffering from depression could be helped using brief focused psychodynamic psychotherapy together with parent work and family therapy. There were also centres in Athens, Greece and Helsinki, Finland, and in this way the clinicians had sufficient subjects from which to compare the interventions and check for any possible cultural differences in the results. Most of the children and young people studied showed a noticeable improvement. The book contains chapters by the clinicians involved describing their work as well as a section containing the scientific papers that emerged from the project. It is hoped that this may encourage the use of similar approaches to working in the field, especially in these days when there is such a demand for psychological therapies.

Interpersonal Psychotherapy-Adolescent Skills Training (IPT-AST) is a program that teaches communication and interpersonal problem-solving skills to improve relationships and prevent the development of depression in adolescents. IPT-AST was developed to be delivered in schools and other community settings where adolescents are most likely to receive services, with the hope that IPT-AST can help prevent depression and other problem behaviors before they become more severe. Preventing Adolescent Depression: Interpersonal Psychotherapy-Adolescent Skills Training provides a detailed description of the program to guide mental health practitioners to implement IPT-AST. Session-by-session descriptions specify the structure and content of each session. Examples of how group leaders can discuss specific topics are provided throughout the book, and the appendix includes session outlines, communication notecards, cue cards, and more. Chapters also outline key issues related to implementation of IPT-AST, including selecting adolescents to participate in group; conducting IPT-AST in schools, primary care offices, mental health clinics, and other diverse settings; working with adolescents at varying levels of risk for depression; and dealing with common clinical issues. Finally, the book outlines the research on this depression prevention program. Preventing Adolescent Depression is appropriate for a wide variety of mental health practitioners including psychologists, social workers, and school counselors.

Recent years have seen a great deal of attention directed towards the so-called "warm-look," investigating how "cold" cognition and "hot" affect intermingle in perception and decision processes. Following in this vein, this book discusses conceptual models and research findings with respect to how affect influences non-conscious processing. The book is divided into two sections: the first on affect and perception, the second on affect and attention, with discussants bringing each section into a cohesive whole.
